First of all, the Mexican health system is not like the US. You take a risk by going over the boarder to have that done. I have joked with my husband about having things done over there and he says NO unless you want to do. His aunt died because of the poor service in a Mexican hospital. His dad is Mexican and is from TJ where the original poster of this thread had her surgery. My husband won't even take me to TJ because it isn't a place to go and definitely not a place to have surgery just to get it at a cheaper price.

I was banded Monday, June 2, 2008. I was discharged the next day. I did not take my blood pressure pills the morning of the surgery or the day after. Upon being discharged, the nurse told me not to take my blood pressure pills anymore because I don't have high blood pressure anymore. Has this happened to anyone? Or should I be concerned?:wink2:
