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 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.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
