Got my Gastric Band Jan 23

I got my band done Jan 23, 2011, i when to Hospital Angeles in Tijuana, Mexico and all i can said the place is unbelievable clean, upscale, nice, safe, modern and all the above. I havent visit many hospital like that in Los Angeles. About the service and caring was the best i ever had at any hospital. I cant even explained how well i was treated and care for in Mexico.

The Hospital is only 5mins once you cross the san diego border. The reason why i choose that place is because my insurance collapse and i didnt have any coverage and everyplace i called was charging 15k+ Just too much for me. In Mexico i pay 5k and didnt have to get a loan at a interested of 13% like i was talk about in Los Angeles.

I am back home after surgery and feeling good. I am excited about this new lifestyle.

weight 200lbs

Heights 5'5

I am aiming to lose 70 lbs. i had try everything in the past and tired of diets and starving myself. The highest i ever weighted was 215. I dont want to go back there.

Doctor said it will take about 8/9 months for me to lose all my desired weight. I am very happy about the decision i made.

Who was your doctor? I know Dr. Kuri operates out of Angeles Hospital but charges $6500. 5K sounds a lot better. Hope all is well.

Congrats! That is great!

Congratulations! I was banded on the 25th. I wish you the best with your journey.

I have my surgery by Feb. 16th w.Doctor Francisco Gonzalez in Tijuana also. Clinicacosmeticadecirugua.com I went there last week for my first interview and it was ok. How u hear about my doctor before? Who recommend ur one?

Yay congrats!!! I was so close to going to Mexico to do the SILS with Dr Rumbaut, but things changed for me with my insurance . I'm pleased to hear you are doing well and are home safe. I will be joining you among other bandster here two days from now. Please keep us updated of your progress.
