Guest rcampas Posted February 22, 2005 well i had my lapband done on feb. 17, 2005 at the molding clinic in Tijuana, it was the best expereince one could have. i am from california and i was very nervous about the procedure being done so far from home, but when the patient cooridnator(andres betencourt) made contact with me he made me feel like he knew me for years. i asked for references and they were given to me with no hesitation. the molding clinic is a very ,very clean hospital, and the doctors are very profesional and have an excellant bedside manner. dr. huacuz is the surgeon at the molding clinic. they actually have a team of doctors that work on each patient, everyone of them with their own specialty. my surgery was about 60-mins. long and i had no problems, i was up walking six hours after my surgery. the staff also made my husband feel very welcome at the moldin clinic, and let him stay in the room with me for my one overnight stay. i then recovered in a five star hotel in tijuana, who what have thought they had those? they really do. the next after noon,my husband and i went shoping for about three hours, i was a bit tired after that. they also have a nutrition doctor, dr. cesar romero that came to our hotel to speak with my husband and i regarding my nutrition journey with the band, he was very pleasant and explained things very thourough. i am home now and the only problem i had was the gas pain, which every doctor has to use to get to your stomach with the laperoscopy tools. i would reccomened the molding clinic to anyone interested in the lap-band with great confidience that you will be very happy with their service. i encourage you to visit thier websit - www.moldingclinic.com.mx Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
