Dr.Verboonen in TJ



Recommended Posts

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

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.

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.

      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?
