Does anyone have any comments about Dr. Zapata?

I am planning to use Dr. Zapata for my surgery. I will schedule next week. I have researched and researched and I have heard nothing but good things about Dr. Zapata and the hospital that he uses. His counselors Judy and Janet are wonderful and honest!!

I am also using Dr. Zapata and I am on for july 7,2007. I have heard hospital really nice and I liked Dr. Zapata's resume and experience. Anyone else know anything?

I had my surgery on June 14th, His staff was great, the hospital is wonderful. I was so pleased. Dr. Zapata speaks wonderful English, his staff does also, the floor nurses do not but they manage to understand you. I was treated better than stateside!..I am considering dental work there also. walk walk walk, that will help you feel better sooner. I layed around to much and had gas from hell! the more I moved the better I felt. good luck follow the rules . I am 21 days out and have lost 12 pounds and alot of inches.

Does anyone have any comments about Dr. Zapata?

Hey, Im going to Zapata on July 9th, all my research showed that he is top notch. Do a search on on him, he is affordable, and one of the best. His staff at ready forachange (judy or janet) have been helpful. I'll post more, when I get home. Take care Danny

He is fabulous. I went there last year July 10th and the hospital is amazing and Judy, Janet, and the whole gang are great. I've got names, numbers, email addresses if anyone needs any of them for the staff. I keep in contact with them. I think they've done over 7000 as of last year so no telling what the total is now and I love how he uses the hospital our President would go to if needed medical and not a clinic. Good luck all and tell Dr. Z and the gang Sherri Smith says hello.

Dr. Zapta and his team are the greatest, kind, compassionate, caring and you get the best of care. I had surgery last year 7/6/06, feel great and wearing a size 10, every time I put my jeans on I cannot BELIEVE IT!!

I just was banded by Dr Zapata on June 14th, he is wonderful! his staff is great, the hospital is nice the hotel was very very nice and upscale. if you have any questions you can email me direct also.

I went there 2 years ago. Judy says he is great. I had Dr. C but he is dead now. I trust anything Judy says. I had the good pleasure of actually meeting Judy. She came to get hers redone when it slipped. Her 1st one was a swedish band back when it was illegal in the USA and Doc put the Inomed on. If I would have relized just how great I was going to feel, I would have paid any price to get it done. So far with fills all I have spent 10,000. The absolute best money that could have ever been spent. The last 50 lb and I get to go back for a body tuck OH YEA

I booked my flight today and am scheduled for surgery next Thursday (19th) with Dr. Zapata in Monterey, Mexico. They didn't mention anything about a pre-op diet ... but read that most doctors stateside require it. Any suggestions? A banded friend says "eat & enjoy" but I'm scared that I need to "shrink my liver".

Yes you do need to try and not eat much to help keep your liver down. Its just easier to manerver around your stomach that way. You will do great. If you take any anti-inflammatories or blood thinners, stop them at least 1 week before you go. How much do you want to lose? I still have 50 to go. Im going to get a fill soon. Judy said to get a tweeking once a year. It's been 1.5 years and I'm on a standstill so it is time. Remember that the first 6 months it takes some fills before you start to loose. Don't get down, sit back and enjoy and before you know it you really will start loosing fast.

Good luck,

Lynn Let me know how your doing.
