I had my surgery in Tijuana MX in October of this year with Dr Pedro Kuri. There are good docs and bad docs everywhere and Dr. Kuri is a GREAT doc with ALOT of experience. His team along with the facilities are excellent and I do not hesitate in recommending him. He makes it easy for you to have transportation, lodging, and testing and it's all included with his pricing. You can message me if you have any questions! Good luck on your journey.....by the way if you need more information on him he has a webpage. I believe it's lapbandsurgery.com

I was banded Jan 7, 2010 by Dr Ortiz in Tijuana. Highly recommend him and his staff. Out of the four prior surguries I've had, this one was by far the best. I had very manageable soreness, really not painful at all except the dang gas!

PM me if you have any questions. I wouldn't hesitate to consider surgery in Mexico, many of the doctors there have been doing the surgery longer than the surgeons in the US.

I had surgery here in the states about 2yrs ago by a plastic surgeon in BH california.I had a Tummy Tuck At the time I was only 145lbs. But anyway I was going to have it done in in tj but with all the neg in put everyone was giving me I deciede to do it in the states. It what was so funny everything that people were saying that would happen in tj happen right here. i got an infection an all most died. So what im saying is no matter were you go this can happen. So this time im going to take my chances in mex. and did tell you that the tummy tuck also needs to be revised.

I was banded in Tijuana Mexico on 2/12/2010 by Dr. Carlos Alessandrini. A girlfriend and I went down together, with two other people who were also banded by Dr. Carlos. Everything went perfect. They gave us Aleve for pain medicine, and truth be told, I didn't even reallly need it. I was up and around 4 hours after surgery asking for Water. My surgery was on a Friday and I went back to work on Tuesday without any problems. About 5 days after surgery, my left shoulder became extremely painful, but it has stopped now. I guess this is common. Dr. Carlos didn't fill my band at all, so I went for my first fill today. I can really feel the difference. I am looking forward to losing weight, and do not regret my decision at all.:cursing:

      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.
