I'm considering Dr. Valencia from Tijuana. Does anyone have any information or experience that might help me with my decision? How can I check up on his USLA credentials? Thanks for the help!:help:

This is kind of a strange question, but, will all the water banders are required to drink, are you finding you're in the bathroom all the time? I must have a small bladder!:cry

Has anyone been to Dr. Simpson? What did you like about him? Was there anything you were unsatisfied with?

The more I read...the more confused I become. At first, I thought I would go to Dr. Simpson to get banded, then I thought I would save money and go to Dr. Ortiz-but the more I read the more conflicting advice I see. Does anyone have a summary of Lapband research? I live in Phoenix, so going to Tijuana would be fairly easy. I would love to save a few thousand dollars, but not if it's unsafe. How do you know what you're really getting in Mexico? For example: the right Lapband, real fills, etc. Gracie

I'm considering getting banded and I really appreciate your honest feedback. Gracie

Noahsmom You crack me up! That's exactly what I've been going through. Started out w/Dr. Ortiz, now I don't know who to go with! Gracie

Has anyone been to Dr. Ortiz, in Tijuana?

I haven't been banded yet, but I do have a soda machine. I can control the amount of carbonation. It's from Soda Club, you can order it online:)

Has anyone heard of Dr. Orwitz? He is in Tijuana, Mexico. I am considering having the Lap-BAND procedure done with him. He taught Dr. Simpson, who is from Phoenix.
