  3. No I dont take offense at all-I have been waiting on my insurance to go thru with Dr Spiegel and it never did(after 7 months) so as time was going on I was getting annoyed so I have done research to know this is for me but you are totally right with the Dr Kuri part-I just did research online and such within 2 days,He had such a quick opening it is amazing.Thing is is I cant imagine why this cant be the right thing-Ive spent the last 15 yrs of my life very overweight and feel as if Ive just been existing not truely living-I used to go scuba diving every year or 2 with my friend in couzamel,go rock climbing etc....Now I get winded going up and down my home stair case!!!OMG!!!!Im 36 years old-this IS NOT going to be my life.Lapband is the thing for me-it has to be.I am 5'3 and 210 pounds-yipes!
  4. mine was completely leery-he doesnt feel confident in the Mexico factor but he supports and trusts me-he always backs me 150% in everything-sadly he will be leaving to go out of town on a business trip 2 days after I get home but hopefully when he returns in 2 weeks I will look and feel different I am being Banded on Wednesday by Dr Kuri in Tijuana I am praying to be 127 by xmas!!!I am 210 now
  5. well my surgery is wednesday-cant i take gasx or something for this?I CAN NOT be on a flight with these issues-lol.

  7. OMG these people work quick!!!I am having it done wednesday with dr kuri in tijuana!!Im scared but excited-had to rush around for a flight-I also have to go alone which is scary but hopefully I wont be too alone.Wish me luck and if anyone is in the area and wants to comfort me Im all for it:p

  9. thanks so much for the info-are you on aol?id looove to be able to IM you
  10. am seriously thinking of having it done by this doctor http://beliteweight.com and wondered if anyone else had used him-he is half the cost of having it done here and since I will have to pay for this myself 9k sounds ALOT better than 18k.
