13 days post banding and down 21lbs. Feeling great. Had minor discomfort from the CO2 gas but now past that.Had my banding done in Mexico by a wonderful surgeon and could not have asked for a better experiance than what I had. Looking forward to a healthy and happy life. Have not taken any of my diabetic medications since I returned home. Had been on meds for 4 years prior.:tongue2:

I am going to Puerto Vallerta Mexico to have procedure done on Sept. 1st and will go to Paris Texas for my fills.Not sure where Hurst Texas is but have a list of places that do fills for lap bands done in Mexico and most are in Texas. Will email to you if you want. Most charge $350.00 for the fill. Hope this helps. Rose
