Well let me start by saying hi to all, i will be getting lapband surgery in Mexico in August but I am really weary anyone know of good places?? Anyone had it done in Mexico??

Hi,

I had my lapband placed in TJ, Mexico by Dr. Arturo Martinez who is part of the Obesity Control Center. The head surgeon is Dr. Ariel Ortiz, both are great doctors. The clinic is great! I go there for my fills and they are very caring and responsive to all my questions and needs. All the same people are still working there and they remember me everytime I come in. I would have it done there again in a heartbeat! Good Luck!

I had my band placed and removed in Mexico by Dr. Pompa. Both were good experiences. All the staff was nice. I would not hesistate to go back when I have my revision surgery.

I was banded by Dr. Ortiz (Obesity Control Center) in Tijuana 9/2006 and I loved them so much my fiance was banded by him May of this year. I can't say enough good things about Dr. Ortiz and would recommend them in a heartbeat!

I may have to look into mexico or something!! What are the costs?? I

I had my surgery done by Dr. Zapata in Monterrey, Mexico. I highly recommend him - the experience was amazing from the time they picked me up at the airport til the time they took me back 3 days later. I even called him after I got home with a question and he called me back within 5 minutes!!!

Well, I had my surgery in Mexico. It was performed and Hospital Angeles and the experience was great! It is located in Tijuana and everything was top rate! NO complaints at all!!:biggrin:
