  1. Hi good for you, I am 60 and have to have the band removed, but they will not do both here in Canada, I want both done I am thinking of going to Mexico, I do not want to have the band removed and gain weight I have to wait 18 months before they will look at doing the bypass, I am sick to my stomach as I want something done right away. I think you made the right decision and you will have a great journey, I wish I was in your position. You will be ok and do great Let me know how your journey goes. Thinking of you Pat

    Lap Band Removal

    Thank you so much Allielee I paid 20,000.00 in 2005 now they have to remove which our health care pays for but then for our health care to pay for the revision I have to wait 18 months and I am about to do that, I do not want to under go two surgeries which is why I am thinking of going to Mexico all for maybe 8,000.00. I am looking for reviews of people who went to Mexico I am in good health all way around so I feel I can make this trip. Thank you for your story. Pat
  4. Hi where did you have it done, I am Canada so it works here differently so I am thinking of going to Mexico to have the band removed and gastric done in one scoop here once the band is out due to corrosion I have to wait 18 months and I do not want to do that. I do not want to fight with myself and gain back weight. any information I can get from anyone I am all for it. Thank you Pat
  5. Hi where is Dr. Ortiz and what are you having done? thank you I am thinking of going to Mexico
  6. Hi everyone I have to have my lapband removed I had it put in 2005 I was told that it is corroded now I have to have it removed. It takes 3 months to get that booked, and if I want to have revision surgery I have to wait 18 months, I do not want to wait that and gain back the weight. This has had be so upset I am thinking of going to Mexico. IN Mecico they can remove and do the gastric all at once. Has anyone had this done if so how are you and also is this a good idea to have both done at the same time. I would love to hear anyone story. Thank you
