Hi! Thought I'd join the March bandsters and give it a try. I had my surgery March 26, 2008, in Mazatlan, MX. I live in Eastern WA State and manage my brother's (and two other provider's) medical practice here. I am the mom of 4 grown children (2boys, 2 girls) and Grandma to 4 (5 in Sept!) sweet grandkids! I spent the week following my surgery at my brother's condo in Mazatlan, so that was a big help in recuperating. Doing ok at this point. Just started mushies so that helps some. Looking for a good place in WA State (especially Eastern WA) to get my fills done. Any suggestions? Starting weight: 260 lbs. Surgery weight: 252 lbs. Current weight: 242 lbs.

My daughter and brother both had lapband surgery in Monterrey with the Dr. you mentioned there. They both had a wonderful experience. Neither are spanish speaking. They said the hospital and facility they stayed at for a few days after were nicer then most US hospitals they have seen. Most Drs in Mexico have been doing the lapband much longer than the US docs.
