I will be getting a band in 2011. Due to financial issues I will be having it done in Mexico since I am a self pay -- my insurance has a very direct and specific exclusion for ANY weight loss assistance, even a nutritionsit!

I am wondering if anyone who has had the band done in Mexico and then had their after-care in the Houston area could offer me some notes about their experience? If so, can you please tell me about your experience and who you used in Mexico and then in the Houston area. I think I have chosen who I want to do the procedure in Mexico (but then nothing is in stone). Also any issues you encountered both north and south of the border. I need the positive and negative.

Thanks in advance for all the help.

Merry;

I was banded on 8/24/10 by Dr. Zapata in Monterrey, Mx. I'm searching now for a Dr. to do my fills in the Houston/NW Houston area. Before I was banded I did a search and found one on I-10/Katy area, but lost the name and number.:tongue2: So I'm back to square one in my search. If you find someone, let me know, please...and I'll do the same for you...

Good Luck!
