Obviously you are misinformed or have no idea what you are talking about. There ARE 2 Dr. Francisco Contreras's but they are NOT related to each other and they do NOT even know each other. The other Dr. Contreras is a cancer doc with a good reputation as a good dr. I know these things because I am a previous lapband patient o fDr. Contreras and I asked him about the other dr once. Dr. Contreras is one of the best doctors I've ever had and due to a car accident, I've had MANY dr.'s and many surgeries over the years. So shut your pie hole until you can talk about something you are educated in!

Hi: I was banded in July, would be interested in the group. Let me know....

GIVE IT UP!!! The insurance companies will only jack you around as long as they can. You can fly to Mexico, pay $6500, and be done with it. My band was done in July with Dr. Contreras in Tijuana. I could not get insurance to pay for it and the US Dr's wanted my first born child!! Wishing you best of luck....
