This is my first time posting anything. I have been doing research on the lap band for about a month and totally confused on which doctor you can trust. I am definetly going to have the surgery in Mexico because it fits into my budget. Wondering if anyone has heard of Dr. Nelson Rodriguez Huerta. He is in Guadalajara and performs the surgery at San Jose Hospital. Is it normal for them to ask for money before the surgery? If anyone could help me??
