Hi thinking about getting Lap-band surgery, but my insurance does not cover any type weight loss surgery. So thinking about going to Mexico. I would like to hear from people who have been there and how it went for them. Thinking of using Dr. Ortiz.

Also any suggestions for getting financial help?

Thanks for your time and help.

Hey Naronlj

Hey i got mine done in mexico and the people was really nice my doctor was Dr. Rodolfo Netera (I think) he was amazing. As far as money I saved and paid with cash. The place was so super clean and so super nice. I love mexico for the price and I heard alot of good news about Dr. Ortiz

Hope this helps

I think many American surgeons have brochures that offer financing but am not positive, of course. Just make sure, wherever you get the band, that you can either go back there frequently (esp for the 6 months to a year) for fills, aftercare etc....or find a surgeon or fill center near you. (realize many surgeons will NOT touch someone else's patient regardless of where they had the surgery...or they will take the patient on but charge really high fees) So plan ahead for fills while you're investigating!
