Completely Confused

[Chef Russ 0]

I have a date in Mexico for LB on March 20th. I paying out of pocket. So cost is part of my decision. I've been doing a lot reading on OH and this website. Every turn I run into someone bashing one Dr or another, one procedure or another. I'm completely lost tonight. Help. I think? I I I don't know.

Hi I was banded on Feb 13th and I feel great. Another woman was banded by the same Doctor right after me and she's doing well too. It is Dr. Slimitari with Top Surgeons in Beverly Hills. I got a good cash price.

That's why you have to search diligently, Russ. Some will tell you Dr. X is a god.....then some will say he's a butcher. Keep looking, weigh the opinions, and make the decision that's best for you. Good luck!

You will always find people saying negative things and positive things about every last doctor. Do your research and make sure that the doctor is experienced and has good results. Be careful about anecdotal evidence, while helpful to an extent, it can be skewed. You will also find people that will bash anyone who even considers going to Mexico.

I had my surgery in Mexico over a year ago with Dr Corvala at Hospital Angeles . . . and as you can see from my ticker, I am doing just great. It was a wonderful experience and I couldn't be more satisfied.

I wish you the best of luck.
