good luck picking the doctor that you feel is right for you. i recommend DR.HUACUZ. He has a brand new state of the art facility. I was there the day it passed inspection. very nice and clean. also the price is cheaper than most and the service is excellent. DR HUACUZ has been the best doctor i have ever had. he is really talented and goes out of his way for his patients. customer service is the key with him. call him personally. he will tell you everything on the phone. i have sent many people to him and they are all very pleased. i hope all goes well for you. check out the website online and read . good luck.

oh ya, doctor huacuz also does the tummy tucks and all the stuff you need after losing all the weight. i will have a Tummy Tuck by him next fall. im still trying to lose a few more pounds. ive lost 95lbs. i have gone up and down ten lbs a few times and have hit a wall. so , now i work out harder and try to watch the carbs... doc gives you a discount for any surgery you have after your lapband. thats cool. i looked at the new pictures of the tummy tucks he did and im amazed. i hope i will do as well. i think the tummy tuck is very affordable.

I along with a friend are getting banded with Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Tiajuana, Mexico in July. I had the chance to get a consult with the nutrutionist, surgeon, and got a facility tour including the room I'll be staying in the night of my surgery. It's a great place and as well have had nothing but good things. Dr. Ortiz has a great medical record and has had so many satisfied patients and it's even hard considering anyone else. Google him, there is tons of info. on him including who and where he proctors.

I would like to put in my 2 cents. I have just arrived home from MX and being banded. It was awsome! beyond my expectations and the care was unbelievable. would love to get this type of care at a US hospital. The hospital was Spotless, staff completely attentive to any requests and again I am excited for the journey but Dr.Aceves is awsome. He actually does his surgeries in a hospital that is privately owned. The hospital reminds you of a high class hotel. They are constantly cleaning. My DH was very impressed. I know that I will pay the extra in airfare to get fills in MX b/c my confidence is in dr. and his staff.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...
