I did not have insurance or a job and saw a special about how cheap it was in Mexico and how common it is for americans to go there for lapbands, plastic surgery, and dental surgery to save lots of $$$$. If I hadnt gone to mexico i would still be wishing i could get it done

I went to Mexico for mine and they told me that I would return to my hotel a few hours after the surgery. but that did not happen I tried to stand up and was in so much pain that I had to stay overnight and had a hard time getting up the next day and had to lay down in the shower and was in quite a bit of pain for about a week and after that nothing unless i eat too much or too fast--that makes me feel like i am having a heart attack. I did not think it was worse than getting a c section though. But yes the pain is definately worth the thirty pounds ive lost so far

well i have a fill dr in kansas i will get my first one soon!! Thx though

I wanted the sleeve but couldnt afford it but there were two people there who got sleeves the same day i got my band by dr pompa and they seemed like they were in less pain then i was on day 2----Good Luck

I was banded by Dr Pompa on 5/12/08 and besides not being able to call my drs office with questions am good-this website has helped me so -and the coordinators have been helpful too!!

I was banded on 5-12-08 by Dr Pompa -my family did not want me to go because i am a single mother of a 2 year old girl. i did not do my research on her before i went--i did it after i got back and was terrified!--but thankfully the people that say the bad things have no experience with her and i do and am 100% fine. And would recommend her ive lost 20 lbs so far and feel as normal as anyone else on here
