I was also banded by Dr. Arturo Rodriguez and his staff are wonderful. I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience. I was also afraid of going to mexico. I have returned several times alone since my surgery. The only regret I have about the surgery is that I waited so long before finally getting it done.
Monterrey is nothing like the border city of mexico which have given that country the bad rap.
