choosing a surgeon

I want to have lap band surgery done in Mexico because the cost is so much less and I will be private pay. how did those of you who had it done there choose your surgeon? I have been to lots of their websites and am busy reading the posts on specific surgeons but welcome all suggestions. thanks! 

I can totally relate to you wanting to have your surgery done in Mexico because the cost is so much less. That is the same reason I went south of the border!  I just did tons of research prior to choosing my surgeon. And then after talking on the phone with his staff, I knew that he was the one that I wanted. He was great and I would go back to him again in a heartbeat! He was a little pricier than others I read about but there was just something about him that stuck out. I think one thing that I liked was that he is in one of the larger, more modern cities in Mexico. I loved Monterrey. And the fact that he has taught doctors in the US how to do the surgery. He has lots of sureon friends in the US and can pretty much refer you to someone in your area that would do your fills. I don't have to have fills  because I had RNY.  But don't take my word. Do like I did and research, research, research! Good Luck! Traci Baylon
