Hello I'm glad I saw youre post. I'm sorry I can't help with your question but maybe you can help me. I'm gonna have my surgery also in Mexico but I haven't made up my mind who to go with. Right now I'm set on Dr. Alberto Aceves. Who did your surgery and do you recommend them. Your the first person in my area that I have found that went to Mexico and self paid. You help will really help me.

Carrie,

I just left Dr. Rickford's office in DC at Providence Hospital. He did the fill under flouroscopy. I too am a Mexico patient. Banded 12/2005. I was self pay at the time; however, we now have health insurance and his office billed Blue Cross/Blue Shield on my behalf.

BTW I live right down the street from you in Hanover, MD just across the streeet from Arundel Mills Mall.

Lisa

Hello Lisa thanks for the feedback. My I ask how was your experience in Mexico and Dr. Rodrigues. Also do you know if the Doctor at Providence would take self pay for the fills. I was born at Providence it's right up the street from me.

I don't see any reason why Dr. Rickford wouldn't allow you to self pay. It just means he gets his money faster.

My experience with Dr. Rodriguez was fine; however, you should be aware that Acuna is not a "rich" town. Police walking the streets with automatic type rifles. Very scary. After my surgery they came into the hospital looking for someone.

Dr. Rodriguez was perfect. His staff was perfec.t Haven't had an ounce of trouble with my band.

You can also consider Susan Brinkley for fills.

Dr. Rickford at Providence was great. Glad to have met him.

Hi Fellow Marylander's,

I live close to you (Lisa & Carrie) as well. I am in Pasadena.

I am scheduled to be banded by Dr. Rodriguez in Mexico July 14th. My mother-in-law and my aunt were both banded by Dr. R in Monterrey. They both loved him, and have had no problems.

My surgery will be done at the new hospital in Reynosa. Only about an hour from the Harlingen, TX airport.

Take care & would love to keep in touch,
Jane

I am being banded July 9th by Dr. Greene. I will be getting fills with him, but not sure if they will all be paid for by insurance. Any suggestions for other docs is greatly appreciated!!! TIA ;-)
