I was banded by him in July. He and his staff are FABULOUS!! I felt like I had the best care. They took great care of me. I did lots of research and found him to be one of the best. I HIGHLY recommend him. Please feel free to ask any questions.

I was also banded by Dr Lopez Corvala. I am not impressed with his follow up care but he is a very competent surgeon and did a good job in that regard.

Yes, he was my band surgeon and has done my follow ups and fills. I have nothing but good things to say about Dr. Huacuz. He is always available for questions and is very thorough.

<p><p>Anyone hear of Dr. Corvala in TJ? He practices out of the Angeles hopital. My friend and I are thinking of visiting the facility and having a consult with him Sept. 22. I am thinking we should visit Dr. Ortiz too. We are from L.A. so the trip isn't too bad. Any thoughts?</p></p> Dr. Carvala is touted by beliteweight

I was banded by Dr. Corvala on Sept. 19 and am very pleased, not only with him, but the Hospital Angeles and their wonderful staff. I don't speak much spanish, but the staff and I always were able to communicate or they would go get someone on the staff who could speak English very well. The hospital is magnificent! Very clean and shiny! Dr. Corvala was very patient with my questions and has checked on me once since I came home and had another of his staff call me too. Call the hospital and asks for the Tijuana Bariatric Group, or go through BeLiteWeight.com and they will set up everything, including transportation from the airport. Dr. Corvala "installed" the new J and J band too, which I requested and was cheaper. I'm very happy!

Doctor Gonzalez is an excellent surgeon with an excellent track record and great follow-up and aftercare. I recommend him without reservations.

Is there anyone else who has had experience with Dr. Zapata, a doctor in Monterrey? I need a revision and need some help choosing who to go to . The doctor who did the original surgery is no longer doing them.

I am scheduled to have surgery with Dr. Jose Rodriguez whose information can be found at www.joseband.com.

As others have suggested, I conducted research online and have found several positive things about him. His infection rate is published on his webpage as 2% and I also took the liberty of contacting several of his referrals. One referral included a professor at the Univ of Houston.

Does anyone have any personal experience with Dr. Aceves in MexiCali? I am thinking about going to him for one to avoid the TJ experience. I am from Los Angeles and will be driving and I dread driving in TJ. Also I have heard that he is good but I do not have any first hand accounts!

Thanks,

Heidi

Hi Heidi,

I used Dr. Aceves, and am totally happy with him and his staff, the hospital he used, everything! I knew people who went before me and have sent several since I was done. I would be glad to answer any questions you have.

WasABubbleButt was also an Aceves patient, and is a frequent poster on the board, and has recently reached goal in less than a year!!

I HIGHLY recomment Dr. A---feel free to PM me if you like concerning this!

I have been leaning toward going to Dr. Rumbaut in Monterrey. His staff has called me and they seem very helpful in answering any and all questions I have. I have saved a little over half of the $$$ and hopefully I will be ready to go ina month or two. Does anyone have anything to say about this Doc? His credentials look really good.

:help:

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
