I want to get lapband surgey, However I found out that my insurance does not cover it. I am looking at Dr.'s in Mexico, but I want to find one that is good and professional. If anyone has been banded in Mexico, please contact me! Thanks all:redface:

LOTS of people here were banded in Mexico. I think the majority of those were in TJ. There's threads on here you might do a search.... I know theres some great surgeons there.

Just make sure you have someone to do your fills if you dont plan on

going back to Mx. I used a Dr. in Md for a slight unfill.

Feel free to pm me with any questions.

I have 5 friends that have done it with Dr. Aceves. They were all VERY satisfied. One of them has even reffered 3 of his friends to go there too & they did with equally happy results. I did all of the research on him before I changed insurance. My current insurance covers it so I will be at the St. Francis Hosp. with Dr. Oh, they are a Center of Excellence.

I was banded by Dr Ariel Ortiz in Tijuana, Mexico. He's a great Doctor, very personable. His clinic is very clean and they treat you great. I recommend him highly. Now if only I had stayed on my liquid diet and lost some weight I'd be happy. I hope after my first fill on the 29th of June I'll be good to go

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
