Any info on Dr. Zapata?



Recommended Posts

My sister and I are scheduled for surgery with Dr. Miguel Zapata on May 24 in Monterrey Mexico through Ready4Achange.com. I "lurk" on many bandster websites to take in as much info as I can. But the only person that I can find on any site that has had Dr. Zapata as a surgeon is kswan.

When we contacted Ready4Achange, Judy (patient facilitator) asked if we would be interested in using Dr. Zapata vs Dr. Sanchez. Judy has said nothing but great things about him and that we are all going to love him. I just wish I could find some more postings by others who had been banded by him. We are using all the Sanchez facilities (guesthouse, alma, hospital...etc.) so that is all the same.

We are both very excited about this process, both "patients" are in great spirits. We only need to lose 50 - 75 pounds each, but we have struggled for decades with this extra weight. Like most we have gained and lost this same 50-75 pounds dozens and dozens of times. Obesity, heart problem, diabetes, knee replacements, high blood pressure and more are all family markers that added to this decision.

I appreciate all the info that I get on this site. It offers a wealth of information and of course "opinions"!! If any of you have any info on Dr. Zapata, been banded by him or just want to offer advise that would be great!! I have been tasked with searching all the websites and boards for all the related info - this has been quite the learning experience!!

Thanks!

I had him and he is wonderful. Do you not have his website. Pm me if you have any questions. I can get you 1000.00 off the price I think. I got it for 3 of my best friends. I can call Judy and ask. I have pics of my whole experience there and it was wonderful. I wouldn't change a thing. He is the most kind, caring, personable surgeon and staff and he's done more than anyone over there. 7000. PM me and I will send you some info.

I lost 80 pounds and it has been one year this month. I've sent 7 people to him and 6 are at goal already and one is in within 30 pounds. We loved him. Alma is the tops and Evette is absolutely gorgeous and banded. Janet and Judy are great too. You will love the guesthouse and the hospital. PM me with any questions.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.
