I've heard numerous good accounts of a Dr Ortiz in mexico? If you look all over this board you'll find very good things about him, he's the only one I've heard anyone talk about in mexico though

Thanks alot ! I have heard good stuff about Dr Joya too in Puerto Vallarta...I a lil scared. You hear so much bad stuff about Mexico, but then again ...the people saying the bad things havent ever been to Mexico...its all so confusing.

I was banded by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana...great experience. Very clean facilities, Dr. Kuri is a real professional (this was in June 2006).

Hi I too started looking into lap band surgery 18 months ago and am self pay. I decided after countless hours of research, calling doctors, asking about complication rate etc to go to Mexico. I am going to have surgery in August. I personally know 2 people that have had surgery with Dr Aceves in Mexicali. Look around on the forum under doctors. There is a wealth of information there as well as what you should be asking before you pick a doctor.

Good luck on you journey.

      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.
