I went to mexico and had a great time. They met my plane and took me to a very nice hotel and the next day to the hospital. The hospital was VERY nice, much nicer than the ones here. I loved Dr. Zapata and I have had no problems of any kind. No trouble finding a fill doc here either. I hope every thing goes as well for you. Donna

donna how many fills have you had so far

I am scheduled to get my LAP-BAND^® surgery done by Dr Huacuz on March 28, 2008. I will be going down with a small group of other people also interested. When I was doing all my research I came across a patient coordinator that made all of the arrangments for me. The cost of the airfare was included, so the total cost of my package was $7500. This was a nice option for me, because I don't want the people close to me to try to talk me out of getting the LAP-BAND^®, but I also thought that it wuld be great to have the support of other people in the same situation.

I would strongly recommend that you check around your area for places that do fills through fluoroscopy. We only have one place in my area that does them and they will not do them on patients that were banded in Mexico. I guess I would rather go to Mexico to have my fills done under fluoroscopy for $150 than have to have multiple fills here in the states for $300 a piece. Who knows I could grow to enjoy the mini vacations too!!
