Isabella asked me if I heard of Dr. Arturo Rodriguez but I have not. Has anybody on this forum used or heard of Dr. Arturo Rodriguez ?

No but i was considering him. Have you used a mexico doctor if so whom and how much? I'm considering getting the lap band in mexico due to the cheaper expenses but scared to go over there or have to pay allot of money for fills once back in MA. What is typicall for fills? How many do you get? I want this so bad! Has anyone been to mexico? can you help me out?

I was talking with a rep from his office. He seems like a very qualified doctor with a competitive surgery package. Check out his website http://www.thebariatric.com/index.html

One of the things that makes him more appealing is that they offer the surgery at both a new very nice hospital and an older more basic hospital. This allows them to charge a little less if you aren't picky about the surgery "venue".

I was also banded by Dr. Arturo Rodriguez and his staff are wonderful. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. I was also afraid of going to Mexico. I have returned several times alone since my surgery. The only regret I have about the surgery is that I waited so long before finally getting it done.

Monterrey is nothing like the border city of mexico which have given that country the bad rap.
