  1. Hi Barbie

    I don't know if you have made a decision yet but Im still going to use Dr Almanza. I have been researching for 6 months and have spoken to at least 20 people who have used him and were very happy with his work. I have not found ONE bad thing about him. His association with Dr Betencourt is why everyone is soo leary of him.

    I do not have alot of money to do this so that has been a part of my decision too. But if I really felt that there was something to worry about I would not go to him. Have you talked to anyone who has had him?? There are 3 people that were on this same thread that have used him within the last month and they have been totally picked on for doing so. Do a PM to DAMMFAM and SININTO (sp) they have all used him. They have personal experience. Good luck with your research. Bernadette

    Heliogast band

    Is there anyone out there that has this band??? I would love to get some info.
  4. Sure...if I needed to. Although I had a reduction done 2 years ago so I guess I had the opposite problem. If I had been flat chested I would have had implants done.

    Betrayal is a BITCH

    I just love Karma!!!!!!! I wanted soo badly to something evil to him, but in the end she did it for me. I always say what goes around comes around, his just came around quickly. Oh and Tina I did not mean to imply that you should just leave him. I would give it a try, you will know if it is worth the effort or not. When I found out about the 2nd affair something snapped in me and I was DONE. I wish you lots of luck and many HUGS!! Bernadette

    Betrayal is a BITCH

    Mum, Im sorry for all that you are going thru right now. I had a very similar experience, we had been married 13 years and I found out that he had been having an affair with my NIECE. It was awful but I was determined to put it behind us and make our marriage work. It did work for awhile but 2 years later hea had another affair with someone different. This time he leftme for her and ended up marrying her (after her divorce was final) Well to make a long story a little shorter after just a couple years of marriage she cheated on him with his best friend!!! Once a cheater always a cheater.
  9. Good luck to all of you being banded tomarrow!!! Mine is not until March but already Im getting excited.
  10. Hi this is my first post on here and I still have not had the band yet but will be in March or April. I have to pay for it out of pocket so Im going to Mexico to have it done. Do any of you have any suggestions for low cost Good care Doctors? My sister used Dr. Kuri and was very satisfied with him. Thanks for any advice.
  11. I checked the prices a little more and talked to a couple of the patient coordinators and they said the price is US $ and that there was no extra for the exchange rate. Iam to make a deposit and then bring the rest in a cashiers check. Im a little confused as to why you had to pay more??
  12. Mansaw, You said your final cost was $8975 I need to rethink how much I can spend. I did not take into account the currency exchange rate. Slimcola, thanks for the input too I have heard nothing but good from OCC. You were banded on my birthday...Good luck on your journey.
  13. So you just had it done too? It sounds like you are pleased so far. I just want to get it done and get to loosing the weight. Thanks for your reply.
  14. Mansaw...you said it cost you more because of the exchange rate?? I did not consider that. I don't want to go over $7500. I was just going to wire the money to them, when I decide who.
  15. I just checked out the great lakes weight loss center and they are $10700 that is out of my price range by $3000. That is the main reason Im going to Mexico I can't afford it in the US. I live in the Seattle area and it is $15000 here.
  16. So you went to Mexico too? I have been studying this for almost a year now and I have not seen any reaso not to go there. I looked at his website and he is a little more expensive than Dr Kuri is. My sister was very pleased with him. It looks like you just had yours done, what do you think so far?? Is it worth it to you? Im really getting excited to have it done. I have done so many diets in my life that I just want something permanent. Thanks for your reply. Bernadette
