Hello

I am interested in going to Hermosillo, MX to get the MGB surgery, the price is lower than Dr Rutledge price.

I have anyone gotten the MGB done in Mexico?
If so, Can you tell me your experiences, both good and bad.
I want to know only about that MGB.

Thank you very much.

Hi,

I know Dr. Rutledge has gone international with the MGB.  If that facility is recommended, than go for it.  I know that many folks go down to Costa Rica for plastic surgery to an awesome facility down there.  I suggest you go to the website and contact Dr. Rutledge and his staff to discuss this further (http://clos.net).  Good luck!

Hello,

Thanks for your response.

I would love to go to Dr. Rutledge but I don't know if i can pay for it.
I have great credit but due to our wonderful economy i am not sure that financing is possible.
If I am able to financed it, I don't know if i can effort the monthly punishments.

Do you know any about the financial part? Do you know someone who can help me in that area?

My situation is that i got the lap band May 2007, the surgeon and the hospital was a wonderful experience. When I got home, i have been living a nightmare ever since. No support group, no one to talk to about my series of events, no eating direction and doctors that was on my referred list that did not want to see me because I got my lap band done in Mexico. 

My lap band has been giving problems and I feel that i have to get it out but my primary dr. feels that i should not just take it out and do nothing because of all the popular obesity curses that i have to medicate.  I agree but I am still paying on my lap band and i am afraid about the NO support system when after the new surgery. 

At the end of it all, i am afraid of dieing  young from my one of my multiple health problem. My father die August 2009 to heart failure, he was 59 weighting near 400lbs.

Sorry for the long story, just want to be real.

I understand.  I still think you should connect with his staff.  They can maybe direct you to a support group.  They also would be able to tell you if this hospital in Mexico is part of their network.  Your health is truly important.  It's hard for me to believe that there isn't a single support group in your city but there wasn't any in my tiny town so I started my own.  So glad I did.  Keep in touch ok?

Hi there!
I just had a MGB in Juarez Mexico with Dr. Jose Rodriquez. My experience was that the hospital Start Medica was clean the doctors attentive and spoke good english. On the other hand the nurses and assistants did not and I had a difficult time communicating with them. I went alone, having traveled alone and having had (failed) lap band surgery in the US before thinking I would be okay. I felt isolated and alone. Bring someone with you if you can. They could have stayed right in my rooom which was large, had a pull out bed and comfortable recliner and nice bathroom facilities. Unless of course you speak spanish. I also found the trip exhausting from Florida I flew to El Paso and drove over the border but had connecting flight in Atlanta. On the way back I (thankfully) had arranged wheel chair assistance with the airlines which worked out beautifully since I would have been too weak and too slow to switch flights getting from terminal to terminal. The airline even upgraded my seats. Make sure you set that up for yourself if you are flying. I am recovering well at home and would be happy to answer any questions you have. I wish you blessed success! (PS I could not afford the rates in the US either and Mexico was much more reasonable and affordable)

Hello,

Thank you for your response.
I am living with the failed lapband too.
How much does he charge for to remove it and do the MGB?
And what financial company was that available  for you to use?

Aloha,

Dr. Ungson in Hermosillo is great.  The staff is caring and kind, the hospital superb.  I had my surgery in October 2007 and would do it again in a heartbest.
