NO, he was recommending something else but he does other weight loss surgeries other then the band that the doctors in Mexico ONLY do.....I realize some of you are angry about what I said but I am only educating the ones that think Mexico is the ONLY place to go, as I did. Most people can see that I am only trying to help and why people are angry about it??? Maybe you all can afford to travel to Mexico for fills? Why would you do that if you can travel within our Country and have recourse if anything is to happen to you? In Mexico you have NO Rights!!! It is also difficult to find a fill doctor when having surgery in Mexico. They don't want the liability..... And yes, why would a doctor perform a lapband procedure on someone 168? Wake Up People!!!

my doc. in Mexico has done 5,000. I would still recommend a doctor in the States.

I am addicted to Chai Tea which has tons of sugar!! But the problem is now they sell it at their store and I make them at home. Very bad!!!

I am starting to wonder if the band is a phycological tool????? If we do all these things without the band won't we still be losing weight???

I went to Mexico for my surgery because everyone I contacted in the States said I didn't qualify at my BMI (under 30). I have had a problem with my weight for my entire life and have struggled my entire life. After discussing with Coordinator (Salesperson) on the phone I decided I would go for it! I had it done in Mexico in March of 2006 and went back for a fill the next month and he put in 5 cc's. Still nothing! Went to new Doc in April and had another cc and then recently another 3/4 cc. Since, I have found a great Doc. in my area that will do my fills, expensive though because I had my surgery in Mexico. I did find out that he will do surgeries under 30 BMI and get ready for this, is cheaper than Mexico!!! Who wouldathunk!!! Cheaper and of course if he does it, he includes the fills in his price, still cheaper than Mexico!!! I found out the Doc. in Mexico put in the wrong band in me and put my port to close under my skin so it's bulging out of my stomach. That will look really attractive once I start losing. My new Doc. is telling me how I have to change this and that and exercise etc.......I told him I can do this and lose weight without the band!! He told me he would have never put a band in me and would have done another surgery. Just remember in Mexico, that is all they do is put in bands. They don't care about your welfare or if you need this or that, they just want to get the money from you and what recourse do you have? NONE!! Talk to me before you go to Mexico and I will tell you who to go to....... March 2006 168 pounds 11 cm band April put in 5 cc's no loss April put in 1 cc's no loss May put in 3/4 cc lost 4 pounds with lots of diet and exercise!!!!
