Hello to all! I'm Miss Polly from the lovely state of Ohio. I just started my research and will probably go with Dr. Zapata in Monterrey, Mexico. Any thoughts on him and his staff, anyone?:ranger:

Hi Miss Polly!

Welcome to LBT! I can't help you with the Mexico questions, but I just wanted to say hello since I'm from Ohio also. My surgery is Nov 5th at St Vincent Hospital.

Best of luck to you!

I was banded by Dr. Aceves in Mexicali Mexico on the 22nd - this past Monday. I can't say enough good about this doctor and his staff and the Hospital Almater. Dr. Aceves and his staff were top notch. Everything was exactly as they said it would be with good nurses, private room at the hospital and personable doctors to work with from the anesthesia doctor to Dr. Aceves accompanying doctor to Dr. Aceves himself. I would definitely recommend this doctor for your band surgery.

Hi Miss Polly,

I was banded by Dr. Zapata just this past August had a very positive experience from start to finish.

Dr. Zapata, his staff, and the hospital are all first rate.

Hope this helps -- and let me know if you have any other questions!

Good luck!!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
