Hi Everyone,

After reading many other forums from this site, I decided to go ahead and schedule my surgery date for the band...

I will be getting the band on May 5th, in Tijuana, with Dr. Huacuz. Has anyone here had their band done by him recently? Im starting to freak out a little, one reason, I'm not having it done here in the States, ( I have no insurance, and when I did, they turned me down, surprise surprise:cool:). Second, all the violence recently in Tijuana with the drug cartels and the amount of civilians getting caught in the crossfires....

I would love any feedback from anyone who was there recently and can let me know what it was like, good and bad, all welcome.

Thanks!!

Hey Tim, welcome to lapbandtalk. If you're looking for info about specific doctors, there's a section on the main page where people post thoughts and opinions about their different docs. That would probably be a good place to start. I think you're absolutely correct in being concerned about the violence, so please be careful. Good luck!

Hey, doing a search on Dr. Huacuz, too. He did my lapband 2 years ago and it was PERFECT.

I now am looking for a nose job- rhinoplasty. His office says he does these but I just don't know anyone who has had it done with him.

Do me a favor! When you go down- would you check that out? I know you are going to be busy...anxious and nervous at the same time....but just let me know if you hear anything or if anyone else is down there getting it done.

My name is Grace - he may remember me and surely the office manager knows me as we are corresponding about my upcoming plastic surgery.

Good luck!

Anyone else know of him doing plastic surgery?
