Hi Susan, how much are you paying for you band to sleeve with Dr. Aceves. Thank You for the info.

Thank you, did Dr. Aceves do your band and sleeve. Is a revision doctor and doctor that does all three wls's.

Hi Wasabb, about how much will it cost to go from band to sleeve in mexico.

4 weeks this Friday and things are going great. No fill yet and down 26lbs already.

Hello wanita, Yes Dr. Gonzalez is in Tijuana and he is a great doctor. I got the band but I wish I had gotten the sleeve because its uncomfortable for me to drink and I don't even have a fill yet.

Hi Beebic, my experience was almost identical. How is things going with your diet? Have you stated mushies yet? What size band did Dr. Gonzalez use for you? I got the 10cm/4cc max capacity. I don't know if I need a fill, I already have restriction. I'm only one week post-op so it might be normal. Are you going back to Mexico for your fills.

Hello, I had my surgery in Mexico and flew back the next day with connection flights, total flying time all together was about 6hrs and it all went well with no problems. peaches

My gas is much better. Lastnight I got realy hungery for the first time. I have been fine today. I go back to get my fill March 6th. I still have alot of gas but it's coming out instead of getting stuck. I will be one week post-op tomorrow. Nancy were did u get banded. I went to Mexico and had a great experience. It was also my first time flying and I enjoyed that too. I'm going back for my fills. I have a doctor for fills but I liked Mexico alot so I'll be going back. It's cheaper for me to go back to mexico too. I got a round trip for under $200 and the fill doctor here charge $250 for a fill. My fill there are free for life. Can someone tell me how to put all my weight info on here. Peaches

Hi Beebic, how did surgery go. I didn't get to go until Feb 6th. Everything went well. Are you going back for fills if so maybe we could me then. I plan to go back for my first fill March 6th. Peaches t

Hello, I was also banded 2-6-09. I'm not having alot of pain but filled up with gas. If I could just get rid of this gas it would make things easier. I lost 31lbs before surgery. I'm looking forwards to my knew life. I hope things get better for the both of us.

There are so many and now that it's about to be a new year there are lots of specials. Prices starting at $5500 and up. Maybe i can find a partner to go get banded with. Peaches:confused:
