Duodenal Switch in Mexico?

Hi all,

I've been reading your posts and have found some recommended doctors in Mexico but none of them seem to do the Duodenal Switch.

I have heard of a Dr Ungson??? Something like that, but on his forum, the last posts were in October, and I'm not sure of what year. Does anybody know of a website for him or whether or not he's still practicing?

Thanks in Advance!

Hey, I'm scheduled with Ungson for the 5th. I talked to Luz (the patient coordinator, about the reviews. They only have two reviews for all of 2009. There is another girl on the ds forum that used him in Oct? You can join the yahoo group but its not very busy. I've only heard good things and I email questions practically daily. Luz answered them within 24 hours and the last one was about technical questions and Ungson himself responded. So I'm feeling pretty good about him.

What is the cost of a DS in Mexico?

Ungson is open 13000, lap 16000. Let me know if you need luz's email. She usually responds within 24 hours. Not hard to get in touch with.

Hello Barbara, we are neighbors! :)

Dr Ungson does still practice, and I understand it is hard to get in contact with his office. He has a yahoo group, you might try there, it's fairly active.

There is also Dr Huacuz, whom I am going to April 7th.

DS in Mexico runs about $14k.
