So, I am considering going to the Angeles Health hospital in Tijuana for lap band surgery. Dr Corvala is the surgeon. Any feedback would be appreciated. They will use the Allergan band and they suggest also using something called the Endo FLIP. This is being done in NY, but as far as I can tell it is new and not being done elsewhere. It is supposed to make it possible to measure your stoma size and make it easier to get/stay in the green zone. I am unsure of this new technology and wonder if anyone else has it out there. Also, if my local office doesn't install it yet, how will they be able to use it during the fill process? Any advice on either Mexico or the Endo Flip is much appreciated!
