I have struggled with weight most of my adult life and have tried everything. A close friend of mine had her lap band surgery in February and has lost 35 pounds. She looks amazing so I asked her to take me to her doctor. Her doctor practices in Mexico and I was very skeptical at first. I have had 3 appointments with Dr Adame and I felt comfortable enought to go through with the surgical procedure. My procedure was performed on October 25,2011. I was home the next day and other than feeling a little tired and hungry I am doing very well.
