Any reason why you can't get your passport?? I wouldn't chose a Dr based on the need to get a passport... I loved Dr Joya and his team .. I went out of my way to get a passport so that I could go and get surgery in Puerto Vallarta :)

it took my sister 6 months for her passport to come in and i just dont have that much time. I am sheduled for RNY here in the US that my insurance is gonna pay for. but i really want the lap band and they dont pay for that. but my RNY is a week away. So i want to have somthing in Mexico set in stone before i cancel my RNY....Dr. Lopez was just the first Dr. i heard of down there til i came across ya'lls web site

Call the passport office and ask for current waiting time. It was crazy for awhile because everyone was going to get passports when it became manditory to fly The wait is 2 weeks here... or 4 days if you put a rush on it (I'm in Canada right now)

You only need a passport to fly in to mexico.  You can fly into San Deigo and drive to TJ.  Try Betancourt medical they arrange everything from.  the plane ticket to the hotel ( or you can stay at the condo)  Betancourtmedical.com  When I was banded the plane ticket and hotel was included in the price.  The set everything up.  I was flown to San Deigo where the driver was waiting for me and took me to TJ Mexico.  We went stright to do my labs and I got settled in.  Everyone was great

DISCLAIMER:  DYSLEXIA = ALL CAPS TELL ME AGAIN I HAVE A LAUGH OR CRAP BAND BUT I HAVE STILL LOST JUST AS MUCH AS YOU, SO KISS MY CHOKE CHAIN!!!!!!!Banded march 07 Bonified BANDit for life Start 286-Now 173-Goal 150                            Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

I'm seeing Dr. Lopez this Monday the 15th of October and am so glad I chose him.  Everything will be positive I have no doubts about my choice of the lap band and going with him.
