Hello all. I want the lapband,but like many of you, my insurance will not cover it, and I can't afford the $20,000 in the USA. I have concerns about surgery in Mexico. Any thoughts from anyone on Dr Ortiz, Mexican surgery, or even being in Mexico in todays world would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, and good luck to all you bandsters!
