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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
