New too

Hi there. I had my lap-band in may of this year.

I went to mexico to have mine done. the facility and ppl there were fantastic, and i paid a fraction of what it would cost here in Manitoba Canada.

If there are other ppl from Manitoba here, i'd love to chat, and perhaps we can support one another.

I started out weighting 396lbs...and well on my way to being hospitalized and in a wheelchair. Im 38...i still have my whole life ahead of me and i wanted it back. for years i had been looking for something physical to help me. I had lost all control over my binge eating. Food is my enemy.

Since i started this journey, i lost 50 lbs...sad to say ive gained 10 back. I have been waiting to get my first fill, next week. However i was informed today that the Dr is no longr taking new patients. So ive begun a search. So far ive turned up nothing. I have contacted the facility in mexico to get thier assistance. Im hoping they have a solutioin that doesn't involve a flight back to them. Although, at this point, im willing to do just about anything to ensure my sucess. And i will succeed.

Even withthis snaffoo, i still would recomend to anyone to resarch the mexican surgeons and concider going there. to be honest, thier hospital, made ours look bad, in my opinion...but don't tell any hospital staff here,lol.
