  1. US / Mexico

    Am beginning to explore going to Mexico for the procedure. A bandster mentioned that her surgery cost $8500. I am paying $13,000 here in Covington. That is $4500.00 difference. Even with travel I could save $3500.
     
    Exploring that parmeter.
     
    The other issue is band success. I know that the success of the band is dependent on not stretching your stomach and not trying to subvert the process. But as one member of the banding group stated, "if I could control my eating I wouldn't be in this mess". Well I must echo that thought. If I could control volumes, which is required for banding success, would I need a band?
     
    Just a thought, no answers.
