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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
