Hi Tina:) I'm from Texas too (Houston!!!) I had my surgery in Monterry, Mexico with Dr Arturo Rodriguez, he and his staff we're awesome!!!! I have to admit I was a little hesitant to have my procedure done in Mexico especially since I had never been ,but Dr R and his sataff make you feel right at home and they take care of you from start to finish...They even take you walking around the mall to ensure you are ready to go home!!! Let me know if you need more information I would be more than happy to get it for you. :eek:

mary thank you for the support and if you don't mind me asking is it 19lbs pounds total that you have lost in nearly one year?I realize that everyone's body is different but how can someone at or around the same weight and age as me lose 20-30 lbs in less time ? Thanks again for your support. erika:)

:cry Hi...Good Morning I'm a new comer to all of this. I was banded on 6/30/06 approx.10 wks ago and I have only lost 8lbs. I had my first fill on 8/24/06 3.5cc(everything was in tact)and do not feel any restriction- can anyone tell me why I'm losing at such a slow pace? Is this normal...I'm eating right(small portions),don't have thyroids,stay away from soft drinks, and I walk 1.5-2 miles every other day- any suggestions? 26yrs old Starting weight 207lbs Now-199lbs Very Confused....HELP:confused:
