Considering lap band in Mexico



Recommended Posts

Does anyone have any experience with either Dr Kuri or Dr Rumbaut? I am self pay and can't spend too much which is why I am considering Mexico.

Does anyone know of any dr's in So Cal that will do it for $10k or less?

Thanks!

I just had the procedure in Mexacali on 12/22/08. A Dr. Aceves. Great facility, (** Nice small very professional, well equip, & spotlessly clean!) Good people, & a great experience.

Cash cost I paid 50 days ago was 7k. I think $7500 now

They will pick you up in San Diego if you fly in and return you there in 3 days.

Hope that is good info for you... Konrad

Ortiz is also a goods option. Any of the above-mentioned doctors are perfectly competent. All of the above doctors are very highly regarded and you will be in good hands.

I had mine in Tijuana as well with Dr.Ortiz's collegue Dr.Martinez - very happy with everything. Facility was cleaner than anything I have been to in the States or Canada and the staff was excellent! :smile: Feel free to ask any questions. I dont know anything about the doctors you are speaking of though sorry :S but from what I read on here they seem to be good as well

Just find someone that is FACS (Fellow of the American College of Surgeons) as their backgrounds are checked well by the American College of Surgeons.

I went to Dr. Aceves in Mexicali, a very safe town.

      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!
