I live in Southern Arizona, about 40 miles from the border with Sonora, Mexico. I am looking for any recommendations for Mexican doctors and hospitals that carry out the lap-band procedure in Sonora, Mexico.

:help:

Heather Crawford.

She was there when her friend passed away after doctor Aceves operated on her, so she knows how things happened better than you.

I haven't trashed any doctor, lied, or said half thruths. I have no reason to. Yet somehow this issue has hit on a very sensitive chord with you. I'm sorry, had I known this would happen, I would have never posted the information I found when looking for my options. I would never have expected this reaction from you. You are so pasionate about research and are always instructing us future band patients to be extremely thorough when looking into possible surgeons. That's all I did, and now you are almost crucifying me. I didn't lie or trash anyone, I'm sorry. You have even said you have special contacts that give you information on many doctors in Mexico. Why was I so wrong in posting information I found? I didn't add or take away from it. Just pointed towards it for other people researching, just like you do, but somehow when someone other than you does it, it's wrong, lies and trash.

So go ahead and reply in your usual manner, you'll have the last word because after this experience I won't give you the pleasure of replying to you again. I have better things to do.

I wish all other persons reading and posting the best of luck and as redundant as it may seem: do your research, just be careful who you contradict because there seems to be a double standard here.

Jimmyjoe, don't apologize for posting this information. That's what these boards are for. Potential patients have a right to know.

Wasa is crucifying you because you posted this person's experience, that's all. It does not help her Quest here. She has her own agenda. Now she claims to have a health history of this person, even more than the person's friends and family! She will now proceed to accuse you of using a fake ID...oh, I see she already has.

I didn't lie or trash anyone, I'm sorry. You have even said you have special contacts that give you information on many doctors in Mexico.

She doesn't have any special contacts other than the people she works for. She has been asked to share her contacts with us here or provide documentation to validate her statements and she never has.

You were not wrong. Wasa is wrong here. For the rest of us, our hearts and prayers go out to the friends and family of this person. Revision surgery is a very technically challenging procedure and should only be done by surgeons with a great deal of experience and expertise in this field. Mainly because of the abundance of scar tissue and risk of bowel perforation, which is what happened in this case.

So go ahead and reply in your usual manner, you'll have the last word because after this experience I won't give you the pleasure of replying to you again. I have better things to do.

Don't let wasa chase you away. Stay here and share with the rest of us. We appreciate it and can help each other. Also, don’t give up the idea of having surgery or even going to Mexico. Just do extra research and you will find a good surgeon. Many of us have.

Hey JimmieJoe,

I was wondering ig you talked to the girl that posted that?Or Did you happen to call Dr.Aceves office to see if they would tell you anything about it?

I am not speaking for WAS but I would suspect the reason it may hit a chord with her is because we as baned patients hold our surgeons in very high regard, they are like our family . And if we FEEL someone is saying wrong information then that is like attacking our own family . In situations like this where someones life is in danger people need to make sure FACTS are put out there before things are put out for everyone to read when in this day and age some people will read what ever they want into posts.

People will take what they read on here as "gospel" . So if it hit a Chord For Was I suspect it was because she feels about her doc the way most of us do . Especially if we had a good experience.

The fact of the matter is docs mess up more often then people realize.

US Docs mexico docs. Does that mean they are bad ? NO it means they are HUMAN. SO just because this doc had a death doesnt mean he's a BAD DOCTOR . People need to get off that trip ! Just because this doc lives, works and was born in Mexico does not mean he's a BAD DOCTOR.

What makes a doctor bad is repeat mistakes, high infection rates, high slip rates, high erosion rates.
