Hello From Maryland!

I want to get LAP-BAND® surgey, However I found out that my insurance does not cover it. I am looking at Dr.'s in Mexico, but I want to find one that is good and professional. If anyone has been banded in Mexico, please contact me! Thanks all

LOTS of people here were banded in Mexico. I think the majority of those were in TJ. There's threads on here you might do a search.... I know theres some great surgeons there.

Hi,
Im in Va.And I was the same way as far as Ins.I went to Mexico this past Dec.Great experience. And Ive been back twice since then.

Just make sure you have someone to do your fills if you dont plan on
going back to Mx. I used a Dr. in Md for a slight unfill.


Feel free to pm me with any questions.


Jennifer

I have 5 friends that have done it with Dr. Aceves. They were all VERY satisfied. One of them has even reffered 3 of his friends to go there too & they did with equally happy results. I did all of the research on him before I changed insurance. My current insurance covers it so I will be at the St. Francis Hosp. with Dr. Oh, they are a Center of Excellence.

I was banded by Dr Ariel Ortiz in Tijuana, Mexico. He's a great Doctor, very personable. His clinic is very clean and they treat you great. I recommend him highly. Now if only I had stayed on my liquid diet and lost some weight I'd be happy. I hope after my first fill on the 29th of June I'll be good to go
