Hi,

I had my lapband placed in TJ, Mexico by Dr. Arturo Martinez who is part of the Obesity Control Center. The head surgeon is Dr. Ariel Ortiz, both are great doctors. The clinic is great! I go there for my fills and they are very caring and responsive to all my questions and needs. All the same people are still working there and they remember me everytime I come in. I would have it done there again in a heartbeat! Good Luck!

I had my band placed and removed in Mexico by Dr. Pompa. Both were good experiences. All the staff was nice. I would not hesistate to go back when I have my revision surgery.

I was banded by Dr. Ortiz (Obesity Control Center) in Tijuana 9/2006 and I loved them so much my fiance was banded by him May of this year. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Ortiz and would recommend them in a heartbeat!

I had my surgery done by Dr. Zapata in Monterrey, Mexico. I highly recommend him - the experience was amazing from the time they picked me up at the airport til the time they took me back 3 days later. I even called him after I got home with a question and he called me back within 5 minutes!!!

      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?
