Hi, I am researching banding. I will be a self payer but I am seriously considering going to Mexico. Just looking for feedback from others who have gone to Mexico...and find out about how and where to get fills in B.C. Thanks

I've heard numerous good accounts of a Dr Ortiz in mexico? If you look all over this board you'll find very good things about him, he's the only one I've heard anyone talk about in mexico though

Thanks alot ! I have heard good stuff about Dr Joya too in Puerto Vallarta...I a lil scared. You hear so much bad stuff about Mexico, but then again ...the people saying the bad things havent ever been to Mexico...its all so confusing.

I was banded by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana...great experience. Very clean facilities, Dr. Kuri is a real professional (this was in June 2006).

Hi I too started looking into lap band surgery 18 months ago and am self pay. I decided after countless hours of research, calling doctors, asking about complication rate etc to go to Mexico. I am going to have surgery in August. I personally know 2 people that have had surgery with Dr Aceves in Mexicali. Look around on the forum under doctors. There is a wealth of information there as well as what you should be asking before you pick a doctor.

Good luck on you journey.
