I went to mexico and had a great time. They met my plane and took me to a very nice hotel and the next day to the hospital. The hospital was VERY nice, much nicer than the ones here. I loved Dr. Zapata and I have had no problems of any kind. No trouble finding a fill doc here either. I hope every thing goes as well for you. Donna

I am scheduled to get my lap band surgery done by Dr Huacuz on March 28, 2008. I will be going down with a small group of other people also interested. When I was doing all my research I came across a patient coordinator that made all of the arrangments for me. The cost of the airfare was included, so the total cost of my package was $7500. This was a nice option for me, because I don't want the people close to me to try to talk me out of getting the lap band, but I also thought that it wuld be great to have the support of other people in the same situation.

I would strongly recommend that you check around your area for places that do fills through fluoroscopy. We only have one place in my area that does them and they will not do them on patients that were banded in Mexico. I guess I would rather go to Mexico to have my fills done under fluoroscopy for $150 than have to have multiple fills here in the states for $300 a piece. Who knows I could grow to enjoy the mini vacations too!!:tongue2:

      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.
