Dr. Miguel Zapata & Ready 4 A Change



Recommended Posts

Hi Charliemac,

I was banded by Dr. Zapata last August.

I am one of these people who researches everything down to the very last detail, and all I ever managed find about Dr. Zapata were glowing comments. I in fact, never found a single negative comment about him anywhere, which is still true to this day.

My own experience in Mexico has confirmed this. Dr. Zapata is excellent and a first-rate professional. He is also a very kind and warm person with a wonderful bedside manner. Dr. Zapata has a tremendous amount of experience with banding, and is definitely one of the top surgeons in Mexico when it comes to this procedure. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.

alma with Ready4Achange is wonderful too and she will take very good care of you while you're in Monterrey. The hospital where the surgery is done is beautiful, clean and modern.

If you do a name search for Dr. Zapata on this board you will find many other positive comments about him as well.

Good luck and feel free to post or PM me if you have any other questions! This Lab Band is a wonderful thing, and I am so glad I had this surgery. I believe you will feel the same once you start your journey.

I was banded by Dr. Zapata on April 7,2008 and Ready4Achange was fabulous. Alama does take great care of you and Dr. Zapata is a wonderful, kind, gentle man. The entire experience was fabulous. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Good luck!

He is one of the four best surgeons in Mexico, my opinion only. He wasn't my surgeon but if my surgeon was not available for any reason I wouldn't think twice about going to Zapata.

He is an excellent choice.

Hello,

I think I will be using Dr Zapata--how long did it take you to get back to a normal schedule after surgery?

      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.
