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.

I am a self pay and will be going to Mexico in January. I am having a hard time trying to decide which doctor to use. 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:

Hello, i'm fairly new to this thread and i'm getting banded by dr. G in january. They have a special for 6,500. Anyone going to dr. G in january that is traveling alone and want a companion to travel with. I'm in dallas area. Can't wait to get my band. I have heard al0t of good things about dr. G and also talked with dr.v. Looking for lap band buddy to confided in. Peaches

Hi, I'm just looking for all the info I can get. Did you go alone. How much did you pay and what was all included. Thanks for the info.

How much is his self pay price?

Hello, i'm getting banded this thursday, just wanted to wish you luck.

Tlc edge is now covering pre-op diet. The only thing you have to take care of is the physic eval.

Thank you so much for the support and prayers. My boyfriend applied for a VA loan 3 weeks ago and didn't tell me. They emailed him asking for his bank info. I pray he is approved. I can wait. I had my surgery on June 30th and doing well. Still have a little swelling but not much discomfort at this point. I went for my follow-up appt yesterday and I am down 13 lbs. I am so happy I did this and you will be too. I will pray for you and hope that you find the way to get it done. The best investment you could ever make is the one you make in yourself. I wish you all the best and please keep in touch. Sincerely, Stephanie

thank you for the info. I just read your message and you now have you lap band, congradulations. I hope things are going well for you. I just started a 401k two years ago so I don't have much there yet but I pray I can come up with a way to get a lap band before the year is up.
