:tt1: Hi! I am looking for a good surgeon in Mexico. I am interested in the "medical tourism" program. Anyone have their procedure done with Dr. Arturo Rodriguez from Monterrey, Mexico. Thanks

I had my surgery in Tijuana MX in October of this year with Dr Pedro Kuri. There are good docs and bad docs everywhere and Dr. Kuri is a GREAT doc with ALOT of experience. His team along with the facilities are excellent and I do not hesitate in recommending him. He makes it easy for you to have transportation, lodging, and testing and it's all included with his pricing. You can message me if you have any questions! Good luck on your journey.....by the way if you need more information on him he has a webpage. I believe it's lapbandsurgery.com

I was banded on 12/11/09 with Dr. Ortiz in Mexico, great expeirence, great surgeon. He is at the OCC look him up he is great.

I will be banded on March 24 with Dr. Kuri and can't wait!

I was banded Jan 7, 2010 by Dr Ortiz in Tijuana. Highly recommend him and his staff. Out of the four prior surguries I've had, this one was by far the best. I had very manageable soreness, really not painful at all except the dang gas!

PM me if you have any questions. I wouldn't hesitate to consider surgery in Mexico, many of the doctors there have been doing the surgery longer than the surgeons in the US.

I had surgery here in the states about 2yrs ago by a plastic surgeon in BH california.I had a tummy tuck At the time I was only 145lbs. But anyway I was going to have it done in in tj but with all the neg in put everyone was giving me I deciede to do it in the states. It what was so funny everything that people were saying that would happen in tj happen right here. i got an infection an all most died. So what im saying is no matter were you go this can happen. So this time im going to take my chances in mex. and did tell you that the tummy tuck also needs to be revised.

Thanks so much i just spoke with nina she a such a sweet person.

I was banded in Tijuana Mexico on 2/12/2010 by Dr. Carlos Alessandrini. A girlfriend and I went down together, with two other people who were also banded by Dr. Carlos. Everything went perfect. They gave us Aleve for pain medicine, and truth be told, I didn't even reallly need it. I was up and around 4 hours after surgery asking for water. My surgery was on a Friday and I went back to work on Tuesday without any problems. About 5 days after surgery, my left shoulder became extremely painful, but it has stopped now. I guess this is common. Dr. Carlos didn't fill my band at all, so I went for my first fill today. I can really feel the difference. I am looking forward to losing weight, and do not regret my decision at all.:cursing:
