Anyone know about the Bajanor Obesity Center??



Recommended Posts

I am looking into going to Dr. Mariano Covarrubias Hildago in TJ at the Bajanor Obesity Center. Has anyone heard anything good or bad about this establishment or it's doctors? I have searched and cannot find any bad news, but not whole lot of good news... just a few testimonials.

Thanks for your help..biggrin.gif

I would check into Dr Ortiz, he is supposed to be one of the best over there in TJ. Also from what I understand was one of the origiinal Drs to learn and has been the teacher for others....

I have never heard of this Dr.. You can call his office and ask for his credentials and a list of references. When choosing my Dr. in TJ, I went with one of the most expereinced and he came highly reccomended to me by a Dr. here in Calfiornia who was taught by this Dr. in TJ. I have not regretted my decision for one singlesecond. I have gotten great care from day 1

Best of luck to you on your decision :(

Thank you for the advice. I was going to go with Dr. Ortiz at first, but then I found out about this Dr. and he is about 2k cheaper. That is very appealing to me since I am of course a self-pay.

I am still thinking about Ortiz, but I might have to push back my date.

I will keep on researching.. keep your ears peeled for me.

In Mexico, cheaper doesnt always mean better. I did NOT mention my doctor in my earlier post but since you mentioned his name I will tell you Dr. Ortiz is the Dr. I used and Iam very happy with him, his staff and the aftercare I have recieved from OCC

Best of Luck on your decision

Angie - I am also considering the Bajanor facility and Dr. Covarrubias as I know three people who have gone there with good results. What did you decide to do?

Angie, I don't know anything about Banjor. Do they charge you for fills? Are all accomodations included? I too was banded by Drs. Ortiz & Martinez & so was my daughter. I would not let $2K stand in the way of what I considered top-notch care. Good luck w/your decision, please let us know how everything goes.

I haven't yet decided. I am still thinking about Bajanor. Their price is $8000 including airfare, all hospital expenses but no aftercare included. I am also thinking about Dr.Verboonen. I know about the whole medical fraud thing, but I am not really concerned with that as of yet. Their price is $9000 includes airfare for the patient and a companion, all hosp fees, hotel (but there is an extra charge for the companion to stay in the hotel $100/night) and first fill with airfare for the patient. I have heard good things about this Dr verboonen. I am really leaning towards him.

Any input on dr. verboonen?

I was a self-pay, and had my surgery done by Dr. De La Garza in Monterry, MX. I think he did a fantastic job! I had hardly any discomfort. After recovery, I felt like I didn;t even have surgery. Do your research and go with who you feel if is right.

Good luck...

RE: Dr. verboonen?

I did a search (on the top of the page) & came up w/a few comments about him. They were all positive. Maybe you should PM those people.

Best,

How much did you pay?

My daughter and I are scheduling our lap bands in November 2009 and we have been concerned with Bajanor. Thank you for the posts. I'll keep investigating. Any information would be so helpful.

Thank you

      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.
