Surgery in Mexico

[Jessistt 1]

My surgery was preformed by a wonderful man by the name of Dr. Joya in PV Mexico...him and his team could not have performed a better surgery and the hospital was out of this world! Three of my girlfriends also had this done by him and none have had any problems...I think you could have problems no matter where you get it done if you don't follow the rules set out for you to succeed!

Good luck in your research!

Has anyone gone to Cancun, Dr. Fernando Ceron?

I am 6 years out of surgery, feeling great, no band problems at all. Dr Aceves in Mexicali, did my surgery, as well as banding a sister in law, 2 nieces and 2 friends, all are doing well.

That said---the time was different in border towns 6 years ago----not sure what my take on it would be now.

Also, the issue of US Dr.'s not wanting to deal with you---line it up ahead of time. People this is YOUR life---you can set those things up prior to surgery! I did, and I still see a Dr in Colorado who has no issue with me being banded in Mexico. He has done all my fills, my unfills for unrelated surgeries, he has no issue, but I made the appointment with him before I ever had surgery and was straight up with him, I needed the surgery but could not afford him cash pay.

A couple of years ago I had some dental work done, I have had issues with it ever since----a partial holding 2 lower teeth was made. At a very expensive rate it seemed. Shortly after getting it, the dentist had a nervous breakdown, and is no longer practicing. I cannot find a dentist around willing to work with what I have, they want to make an all new partial. It is fine, just needs adjusted where it is hitting too hard, but it is not theirs so they will not work with me. Not one dentist, I have contacted several, and met face to face with 3.

So it is a Dr. issue often times, not a country issue, you might find the same problem if you are banded by an american Dr. in California and find yourself relocated to Illinois or something.
