  1. Have you been satisfied with you weight loss to date?
  2. I too I'm in initial considerations and trying to make a decision whether to have my VS surgery done in Mexico as my insurance will not offer coverage for the surgery and I can't afford the price to have it done in the States. Could you sort of outline your process such as payment process, when you arrived what all you had to do, testing, etc, your aftercare and what and if any complications you may have had? I also heard that there is sometimes awful acid reflux associated with this procedure. I had considered the band but with the problems people have, I've sort of backed away from having that. I'm just trying to do my research and any info you can provide about surgery in Mexico would be greatly appreciated. By the way, I'm 47 years old and I'm 5"1 and I weight about 200 pounds, just a little about me.
