Dr. Jose Antonio Castaneda???



Recommended Posts

I am trying to get banded before the end of the summer and am searching for a Dr. in Mexico. I was leaning towards Ortiz, but have a friend of a friend who is the niece (yes...I know how this sounds) of a surgeon in Cd. Juarez that performs Lap Bands, but I cannot find anything on him.

Does anyone know about Dr. Jose Castaneda? I've been through the border in Juarez before and would probably be more comfortable there than in TJ...but am trying to conduct as much research as possible. Any information...good or bad would be great.

Hi, I do not know this one , but i went ot one in mexicali. His name is Alberto Aceves. I could sit here and type a big long thing about how great they where but you need to make your own decision.

In my opinion though they where very caring and knew what they where doing. I had a great time and everyone was nice.

Also one more thing to concider. They say the border is getting ruff in some places but as far as i know its still safe where there.

there web page is mexicolapband.com I think they have reduced their prices also so thats a plus.

If you need to know any futher details on them please let me know I will be happy to tell you about the whole experience!! I have lost 130 pounds since last feb. I am very happy with them.

      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.
