I want to start out by saying,"I'm not affaliated with ready4achange" , I had my surgery perfomed by Dr. Zapata, Monday, July 9th, 2007. I had a wonderful expierence, It has been 3 and a half days, I'm down 14 lbs., feeling very well.

Everything they said that was going happen, happened. They were on time to pick me up, the hospital was very modern and extremely clean, the hotel was nice and they were very professional. I would highly reccomend them.

Now there are plenty of other Drs. in Mexico, I would say to you(Do your homework), educate yourself, this site has been amazing, I have learned so much from everyones' past expiences. The friends I have made, the support on this site, Don't be afraid to post. Don't be afraid to ask questions.

I had lapband surgery for one main reason(to be healthy), I'm 33 yrs. old, a 120lbs. overweight, and tried every diet plan in America, I needed something more. Hopefully this tool will help me reach my main goal, to be a healthy Father and husband.

I'm a typical man, never thought I needed support, boy oh boy was I wrong, listening to from everyones expierence really opened my outlook on making this descision. If anyone has any Questions I will try real hard to answer all of them, for this was the best thing I have ever done. Good luck to everyone thinking about living a healthy lifestyle. Danny

Great Success to you!

Congrats! I was just banded in Mexico too and had a great experience! It is so great knowing we are starting a new way of life!

I leave next Thursday headed to Mexico...and Dr. Zapata.. I really excited..

Thanks,Cindy

That's who done mine too with Dr. Sanchez before he was brutally murdered. They were fabulous. I just love them and Alma and Evette, Janet, Judy and the whole crew. Monterrey is super.

I was just banded in June by Dr. Zapata and it was wonderful. I would use him again (hope I never have to) in a second! I used ready4achange and Alma walked me throught the whole thing. Thank goodness for her! Good luck on your weight loss. I also was banded in hopes of becoming a better mother to my daughter and to live a healthy life. 23 pounds down and I am going to get a fill on the 14th!
