I am one of these people who researches everything down to the very last detail, and all I ever managed find about Dr. Zapata were glowing comments. I in fact, never found a single negative comment about him anywhere, which is still true to this day.
My own experience in Mexico has confirmed this. Dr. Zapata is excellent and a first-rate professional. He is also a very kind and warm person with a wonderful bedside manner. Dr. Zapata has a tremendous amount of experience with banding, and is definitely one of the top surgeons in Mexico when it comes to this procedure. I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone.
Alma with Ready4aChange is wonderful too and she will take very good care of you while you're in Monterrey. The hospital where the surgery is done is beautiful, clean and modern.
If you do a name search for Dr. Zapata on this board you will find many other positive comments about him as well.
Good luck and feel free to post or PM me if you have any other questions! This Lab Band is a wonderful thing, and I am so glad I had this surgery. I believe you will feel the same once you start your journey.

I was banded by Dr. Zapata on April 7,2008 and Ready4achange was fabulous. Alama does take great care of you and Dr. Zapata is a wonderful, kind, gentle man. The entire experience was fabulous. I couldn't have asked for anything better. Good luck!
He is one of the four best surgeons in Mexico, my opinion only. He wasn't my surgeon but if my surgeon was not available for any reason I wouldn't think twice about going to Zapata.
I was banded by Dr. Zapata on April 5th. It was a wonderful facility, wonderful surgeon and anthesiologist. THe nurses anticipated all my needs the facility was clean and modern. I would highly recommend this group.
