Dwayne Bordelon

I will have Dr Ponce do it. I do not want any aftercare issues and I am concerned with what would happen if I had near or longer term complications with surgery performed in mexico.

I wished my insurance co. would cover it, but I am at a point with health concerns that makes me feel like I have to do something soon. Additionally, my daughter is pretty active with sports and I want to be able to keep up and maybe show her that her dad isn't or hasn't always been a lump of fat that complains about his back after short stents of activity.

Posted this in the general intro section: I have decided to start the process of getting the band. I have met with Dr. Ponce at the Gastric Band Institute in the past in preperation for the surgery, but ended up backing off when I considered the cost of self pay. Two years later and I am still struggling to get the weight off and I have decided the time is now. I am on bp medicine and on the verge of getting cholesterol medicine and I am quite frankly tired of that. I have always been an active person, I would even say athletic, but perhaps that is my downfall. I have always eaten big and for the last 10 years that has seriously caught up with me. I feel pretty confident I will be successful with a little help from the band. My name is Dwayne Bordelon
