I'am having my Lap Band surgery on Aug 12,08, by Dr. Huacuz. I'm so glad to hear you had such a good experience with him and his staff-that makes me a little less anxious!! Can't wait to get through this 10 day pre-op clear liquid diet though-ugh! not fun. Would like to hear about your experience, if you would like to write me..

Hey.....have you done any research on your own about that doctor and not just read what one person's reply might have been or that he's cheap......because he is cheap for a reason!!! Please do your research because I'm sure you might change you mind for having him do your surgery. I crossed him off my list before my surgery and glad I did once I did some digging!! Good luck either way in what path you take but have the surgery for sure because it has really changed my life for nothing but the better!!!

Did anyone have surgery with dr kuri in Tijuana? If so, how was your experience? What were the travel, and preop arrangements? How long was the trip?

I had Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Juruez mexico. The hospital was like a spa! He was truly one of the best! The staff was wonderful! Just google hospital angeles in juarez. Good luck!

I have talked to several people who have had their bandings done by Dr. Huacuz. Everyone was very happy with him and his staff. Unless someone knows something specific I think it will be ok!!! Thanks for the concern

I went to TJ and used Dr. Carvala. He was wonderful. I am a nurse and planned on turning around and walking out if things didn't meet up to my standard. Hospital Angeles was beautiful and one of the nicest hospitals I have been in. The staff was great. I had wonderful care and will probably go back for my plastic surgery later as I was so impressed.:thumbup:

It is right over the border from San Diego and they make it very convenient.

I have recently begun my research to determine where I want to have my lap band surgery in Mexico. It is the only way that I can afford it. I have read good reviews on Dr Aceves and Rumbault. would like your opinion and other surgeons that have a good record. I need to also be able to fill in MINNESOTA. :wink_smile:

I was banded by Dr. Aceves and I have a LOVEHATE relationship with my band.....Some days I hate it and some days I love it! It has taken me 6 months to adjust and understand what I am suppose to be doing. But its working and has been a great learning experience! I dont regret my decision to have a band. Its just taken me a while to get a handle on it. The head hunger has been almost overwhelming at times! But, we learn as we go through this journey!

Good luck!

Lisa, Do not feel bad. its been a yr since I was banded and I still am trying to get the hang of my band. the band can be fickle , one day your tight the next day your not . one day you can eat a certain food the next day you can not eat that same food.

I too would not change my journey and I have had my fair share of issue w/ fills and unfills.

I got a question for you.....Do you get tighter when its going to rain or if its humidity outside? I can tell you when its going to rain every time! And yes, some days I can eat something the next I cant eat the same thing....But its working!

Yes its the barometric pressure. When the barometric pressure is high the band gets tighter . I thought it was nuts , but when I bought a Barometer and started paying attention to it. If the pressure falls below 30 i am tight.

You can track the pressure online . So if your tight one day check the pressure in your area if its 30 or higher watch out for the day you will most likely be tight .
