Has anyone else considered Mexico for surgery?

My friend and I have been researching WLS for about a year now. The insurance coverage that we have will under no cir****tance cover WLS. We are considering going to Mexico, to a Dr. Zorrilla. Has anyone else had surgery performed by him? Has anyone else had surgery in Mexico? Any type of info would be appreciated.

Hi Susan, if you go to the calif board and ask about this there has been someone that was a friend of Connie Sue that came from out of state and had the (rny) think done in Mexicio. someone will know someone that can help you. Raoulene

Susan, This is my first time on this web site so I hope I am doing this right. I usually browse but I saw your post and had to reply. Any way I had RNY W/ Fobi pouch done by Dr. Zorrilla on Feb. 11, 2004. I have lost 114lbs so far and have been doing great since. He is a wonderful Dr. and I have nothing but wonderful things to say about him and the hospital staff. He was recomended to me by 2 of my cousins 1 who had the surgery herself 2 yrs ago and my other cousin is her brother *****comended Dr. Zorrilla to her not because he had the surgery but because he is a Dr. as well and knows Dr. Zorrilla. they both live in Monterrey Mex. As soon as I knew my insurace wouldnt pay I was making travel plans. Plus I visited that part of mexico frequently because my family is from thier. Please feel free to e mail me to ask any questions you might have. [email protected]

I had my surgery last year in Monterrey by Dr Roberto Rumbaut-very happy. Check out my profile. Heather post lap rny jan 27,2004 253/140 5'8"
