Need your help

I've decided instead of waiting almost 8 months and fighting with the insurance company I'm going to go to Mexico for my lap band. They can do it as early as this month. What I was wondering is I've narrowed it down to 2 doctors, Dr. Sanchez and Dr. Ortiz, do you all have any opinions either way on either one or heard anything or know of anything I should know in making my final decision. Again, Thank you for all of your help. I would have never have gotten this far with a decision without everyone's help.

Thank you all very much,

Sherri:help:

I was not banded in Mexico but many here were. Do a search for those MDs and you'll find lots of information.

Hi,

I had mine done by Dr Sanchez and I just loved him. The hospital was so great and the guest house is very nice...boring..but nice. ALso there is a DR that lives in the guesthouse..so I felt good knowing if problems came up..he was there. Mario the driver took us to a flea market and then to the mall....Ill put my 2 cents in for him.

Good luck

I went to Ortiz and I have nothing bad to say about my experience. Feel free to PM me if you have any questions or need support!

GOOD LUCK!
