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.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
