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

      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.
