  16. I had surgery at the Molding Clinic and I would never go any where else. Andres is such a wonderful, caring person who is always there for you. The Doctors are very professional and do an excellent job and the facility is new and very clean. Yes, it is more of an outpatient clinic but banded is an outpatient type of surgery. You will stay 1 night in the facility in a beautiful new room, 24 nursing care and then you go to a beautiful hotel not far from the facility. The care is excellent and I am planning plastic surgery there very soon for I am 70 lbs. down and only 40 more to go for plastic surgery. Andres is my new best friend. He is a loving, caring person and only has your health at heart. God Bless you all and I pray you find the right place for you and I highly recommend the Molding Clinic. Susan
  17. I too was looking about bypass about a year ago and put it off for I was too scared but happened to just by chance see something on the internet and starting researching and found out about banding. I also saw the forum and read it. I got banded on May 17, 2004 and have lost 30 lbs. and very happy. My weight at surgery was 257 lbs and close to heart attack and now 30 lbs lighter I feel great. I am turly glad I found out about the band and Thank God I got it done right away. THanks for all the info you all provide thru this forum. Susan
  18. Well I am scheduled for 5/17 with american band. Thanks for info. You helped me make up my mind. God Bless
  19. Good for you. God Bless you. I am scheduled for Monday 5/17. I know how you feel. Excited & scared.
  20. Thank you for the reply. I had asked the same question of the facility about wanting American band in US and they said I would not have a problem getting in filled in US but i really saw it you way about not wanting to fill in US. This makes me not wanting to go thru with the MX Dr's because of this but I can not afford US DR's and I do not have the money for US Doctors. I do appreciate any feedback for I am still researching. :cool: :cool: :cool: Susan
  21. I have been reseaching MX for surgery and need to decide on band type. I had been told Swedish band is best but I thought it would be better to get American appr. band but again I see there are or have been problems with American appr. band. Can anyone help? Also, has anyone been to MX for surgery? I have to pay and have been trying to find the best and affordable.
