I want to get lapband surgey, However I found out that my insurance does not cover it. I am looking at Dr.'s in Mexico, but I want to find one that is good and professional. If anyone has been banded in Mexico, please contact me! Thanks all:redface:

LOTS of people here were banded in Mexico. I think the majority of those were in TJ. There's threads on here you might do a search.... I know theres some great surgeons there.

Just make sure you have someone to do your fills if you dont plan on

I have 5 friends that have done it with Dr. Aceves. They were all VERY satisfied. One of them has even reffered 3 of his friends to go there too & they did with equally happy results. I did all of the research on him before I changed insurance. My current insurance covers it so I will be at the St. Francis Hosp. with Dr. Oh, they are a Center of Excellence.

I was banded by Dr Ariel Ortiz in Tijuana, Mexico. He's a great Doctor, very personable. His clinic is very clean and they treat you great. I recommend him highly. Now if only I had stayed on my liquid diet and lost some weight I'd be happy. I hope after my first fill on the 29th of June I'll be good to go

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
