Hi Megan

My lap procedure cost 10,850 plus 580. airflight from San Jose CA to Monterrey Mexico RT. The price includes everything from airport pick-up/drop off, hotel 2 nights, Santa Engracia Hospital 1 day, staff/surgery and meds. This is with Dr. Sanchez.

I have my first fill scheduled for 9/24 about 30 miles from home, for estimated 300. FYI Dr Sanchez will give free fills there in Mexico if your his patient.

I am glad this post came back to life. I was banded by Dr. Sanchez in October and I can also attest to the wonderful care I recieved. The hospital, staff, and care were just all top notch.

I was banded last november by dr. Sanchez, but he's from Caracas, Venezuela.

And for my surprise i meet there 3 american people from San Antonio, Texas.

We make the operation on the same day. It cost us with everything $5000 us dollar.

The hospital was high class. The treatment was good. I stay in venezuela for 4 days.

And i'm very happy with my band.

Dr. Rodolfo Sanchez performed my lap-band placement in April 2003. I could not be happier with him. I had mine done in Reynosa which is just across the border from McAllen, Texas, where I live. He has taught many of the doctors now doing the lap band surgery in Mexico and the U.S. I very highly recommend him.

Hi, Libby --- so nice to hear about your experience with Dr. Sanchez. I have been referring patients to him and he is doing my aftercare.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
