I was banded in Tijuana, Mexico by Dr. Lopez Corvala. It was a good experience. The hospital was immaculate and the care was excellent. I have no regrets. My only suggestion is to do it directly through the hospital. The scheduling services charge about $500 more than the actual surgeon does. They make a commission on providing you with a service you really don't need. I was provided with transportation to and from the hospital and airport and was treated better than any hospital here in the states has. If you need any further info feel free to let me know. Good luck with whatever choice you make.

Hey there fellow June bandsters. I too was banded on June 29th, 2009. I was banded by Dr. Lopez Corvala in Tijuana, Mexico. Everything has been going great except for the horrible gas pains and the excruciating pain at the port site. Anyone here know when this will go away? The pain at port that is. I've also been doing the Gas-X with no relief and I'm going to try the Phazyme. As for the pain at the port....:smile2: don't know what to do about that. Any suggestions?
