I first noticed the cold weather causing restriction after being outside for 2 hours in 40 degree weather (at son's football game)....we went to lunch after & NOTHING was going down. Definately being in cold weather makes a difference!

I can't stress how important CONVENIENT after care is. You really need to get an agreement upfront with a local doctor to follow through with you. I was banded in Mexico by Dr. Sanchez in 2003 (he is now deceased). I had excellent care while in Mexico. The hospital & staff treated me as good as I would have been treated in the states.... no problem at all with Mexico or my doctor. BIG problem with follow up care. I was travelling 2 hours for fills & then my doctor (that I got the agmt with before going to Mexico) goes out of business. I couldn't get a local doctor to work with me. Honestly, I was treated like I was an idiot for going out of the country for surgery.... I just recently found a doctor willing to work with me. He only agreed because my band doctor is deceased. It has been a huge hassel...
