I'm hoping someone can help me.  I'm considering going to Mexico to have lap band surgery, but strangly, the names of the doctors I received...I can't seem to find a single bit of information on either of them.  Mind you, maybe I'm just not looking in the right places, but it worries me...a LOT. Anyway, if anyone knows anything about either of these two doctors, good or bad, please please please let me know. Thanks so much!!! :) The doctors are:  Dr. Lisa Marie Pompa Gonzalez and Dr. Mario Almanza Reyes Thanks again everyone!!!

Thank you so much.  I really appreciate that.   No, I'm going through Shirley at the Emmanuel Medical Center, that is if I decide to do this.  When are you having your procedure done??

If you are set on getting a Lap-Band then make sure you have someone back home who will give you fills.  Some doctors will not do follow up for someone who had their surgery out of the country. Have you considered the VSG?  There is no follow up and the results are better than the Lap Band.

Thanks you for your note :) Yes I have a doctor back here that will do the fills.  I have considered pretty much all of the choices.  I have still not make a defenite choice yet, but I really appreciate your suggestions :)

Be sure you choose a doctor in Mexico who has done thousands of surgery.  Has patients you can call and chat with.  Has lots of excellent comments.  I would never consider going to a doctor that had no reputation.  Just like everywhere there are always a few bad apples.

You can find all you need to know about these doctors and they have many patients on the board. I chose Dr. De la garza because mine was complicated by previous surgeries and in my opinion after two surgeries with him he is the absolute best in the world and I am delighted to have found him through obesity help. One other thing.  Be careful that you are not being fooled by someone *****ceives money for referring patients.  Make sure you are talking to real patient who simply respect the doc. Wishing you the best. Cassandra
