  1. My story is pretty simple, had the band about 4-5 years ago, cost me a small fortune. Worked great for a couple of years and then loss all sense of restriction. I was either to tight or too loose. Drove me crazy. So now I have decided to go to ole Mexico for a revision. I am hoping its a great experience, though I expect pain pain pain, from what I read. Im also kinda wusey, so we will see. Anyway I am going to Mi hospital with Dr.Valenueza. Has anyone gone through and told that they wouldn't do the surgery? and also has anyone regretted getting the band out and going sleeve? I am also one of many that fear death. I have a young family and love them dearly, would hate to leave them early. Anyway, hope to hear form those who did a revision and can settle my nerves, or not, maybe you want to warn me to "stop the insanity" Thanks
  2. I hope your surgery goes well. My date is July 14. I'm starting to get a little nervous about complications, etc. Where are you having yours done. I quoted the above
  3. yeah from Canada, I am going to Tijuan because of the wait lists. Plus you look at the doctors here that do the surgery, maybe one every 3 days where in Mexico, they do 3-4 a day. These guys are experts at their craft. that's all they do I was told. I would rather bank on someon ethat does many rather than one that does a few.
  4. My surgery date is July 14 in Tijuana. Anyone else going there by chance? Im excited but very scared too.
  5. Hi everyone, first off I have a money question for Fearnot. Can you pm me how much its going to cost you in Montana. I have mine scheduled in Mexico and it freaks me out a lil. Montana is really not far for me as I am from Canada and close to Montana.

  8. My date is July 14, 2014. Really excited and nervous. Anyone else on this date. My surgery is in Tj, Mexico with Dr Vanezeula
  9. Sorry I put it in Title but then put Mexico in actually message. I am going to Tijuana
  10. I go on 14th of July to Dr. Valenzuela and I am nervous. Hopefully it will be better than band, too many ways to cheat the band and never got restriction again after year one. Though great tool for the first year.

  13. I recently went to the doctor and he told me I had elevated levels in my parathyroid. Anyone have issues with this and is this common with Lapland? thanks for any help.

  15. Hey everyone. My main and major problem is I am stuck on eating sliders? lol. So I thought about doing a stay away from list of sliders. If you have any good slider foods to put on the list, please do. So here is a list I came up with: Ice cream chips juice, not a food but easily to eat dorritos ADD MORE
