Another quiet and happy bandster here!
I'm almost 13 years out and absolutely love my band! It's hard to see so many people suffering from complications and i worry sometimes that even after 13 great years complication-free, that something could just go wrong! Honestly my biggest worry is that if something went wrong, i would no longer qualify for a revision surgery because i am at goal.
I've had my band since March 2008. I lost the majority of my weight in the first 6-9 months (from 200lbs down to 140lbs, i'm only 5'2") and managed to stay within a maintenance range for the past 12+ years, which included 2 pregnancies and a my fair share of fluctuations along the way. In the past year i have made some more habit changes that led me to drop another 20ish pounds leaving me at about 120-125lbs at 5'2".
It makes me so happy to see some positive bandsters out there sharing their stories as there are definitely still a lot of us on this band journey. Please keep posting and i will try to do the same!

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.

I was recently banded in Tijuana at Hospital Angeles with Dr. Lopez-Corvala through World Med. The staff was so nice, attentive and helpful. The hospital was clean, safe and professional. I had an easy recovery in my private room.
Good luck!
