Considering lap band in Mexico



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any experience with either Dr Kuri or Dr Rumbaut? I am self pay and can't spend too much which is why I am considering Mexico.

Does anyone know of any dr's in So Cal that will do it for $10k or less?

Thanks!

I just had the procedure in Mexacali on 12/22/08. A Dr. Aceves. Great facility, (** Nice small very professional, well equip, & spotlessly clean!) Good people, & a great experience.

Cash cost I paid 50 days ago was 7k. I think $7500 now

They will pick you up in San Diego if you fly in and return you there in 3 days.

Hope that is good info for you... Konrad

Ortiz is also a goods option. Any of the above-mentioned doctors are perfectly competent. All of the above doctors are very highly regarded and you will be in good hands.

I had mine in Tijuana as well with Dr.Ortiz's collegue Dr.Martinez - very happy with everything. Facility was cleaner than anything I have been to in the States or Canada and the staff was excellent! :smile: Feel free to ask any questions. I dont know anything about the doctors you are speaking of though sorry :S but from what I read on here they seem to be good as well

Just find someone that is FACS (Fellow of the American College of Surgeons) as their backgrounds are checked well by the American College of Surgeons.

I went to Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, a very safe town.

      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.
