JoPVcal 0 Posted September 12, 2008 Hi Everyone, Im new to all this. I have never posted before, but I have been reading and loging on since March. I have been researching the lapband and the only way I will be able to do afford it will be in Mexico. I am planing on seeing Dr.Sergio verboonen in TJ. I have not heard one negitive thing about him or his staff. Please let me know what the facts are. I need some reasurance. Thanks JoJo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Miss Undastood 0 Posted September 13, 2008 I am also being banded by Dr.Verboonen and Dr. jaime Ponce de leon. My surgery date is Oct 3rd. There are some negative things that I've heard about him. Appearently he was involved and charged for insurance fraud. At first,this made me a bit hesitant about going to him. But I don't think that fraud in this sense affects his ability to place the band correctly. Im still going to continue with dr. verboonen.< /p> This is the only negative thing I've ever heard about him. If u hear about anymore...please let me know. Good Luck With Your Choice.

mattinfll 1 Posted May 23, 2010 Hi there - I am thinking about Dr. verboonen too - or Dr. Ceron - any information would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

mattinfll 1 Posted May 25, 2010 I am 99% sure I am going with Dr. verboonen. His coordinator gave me a couple of recent patients to talk to, and I was satisfied. Plus, he will do the newest model of the Lap Band if you want (but costs a little more). Dr Ceron's office only seems to do the older model. Also hear Galenia hospital is spotless.
