I was banded in Mexico. I had no problems getting a doctor here to do follow up care and fills. Dr. Zapata and his staff were great. I would do it again in a minute. Donna

Welcome to the site. Sorry you are still hungry, but it will get better. Donna

I can eat anything I want as long as i chew it well. With the band i just do not eat nearly as much. I am not that hungry. Donna

open mouth--insert chocolate--that was always my motto---alas no more. Donna

I am a very........HAPPY....camper. I love my band and the way i feel. I look a little better every day.There is just no fun in being fat. It is a lot of work to drag it all around and i will gladly leave it behind!!! Donna

Congrats to both of you on your dates!!! Donna

I would go in a minute. I love to travel and the band would not stop me. Have a great trip. Donna

I have had very few of the different problems you hear about. I do not even know what sliming is. All i really had was gas pain in the shoulder after surgery and pain in chest if i eat to fast. No big deal and i feel great and i am starting to look as good as i feel.Would do it again in a minute. Donna

I went to Mexico and things went very well.Total cost with airfare was 8000. web site is Ready4AChange Beautiful hospital and hotel.Dr. Zapata is great. Donna

People have to want to change. Some people are more afraid of change than they are of staying the same. I would tell her about this site and then leave it alone. Donna

Thank you so much! Donna

Did your doctor say that was ok??? You need time to heal so it is important to follow the schedule the doctor gives you. Good luck. Donna

Sorry you have to go so far. What a bummer. I am lucky , my fill doc is five minutes away. Donna

Thats great Shelby! Glad you are doing so well.I love my band and this site. Donna
