Just thought I would let everyone know, A year ago today I was on Life support do to the neglegeince of a surgeon in Mexico. :think I was put in a California Hospital because Mexico did not have the facilities for the complications that went wrong.. They saved my life. I had 2 more weeks to live and they was letting me go. Thank God I did pull through only by a miracle! I have had 6 surgerys since the first Lap-band surgery. It was hell and i hope many reads what I have to say, and if any questions please feel free to contact me. I went to Mexico to have the surgery done because of financial reason. Probably like most of you, It ended up costing me over $500,000 due to stupidity. So please, do much thinking and research before making the decision. Being alive is much better, then being dead and skinny!:clap2:

I havent been on here in a while, so I just read your post. I am sorry you both had a awful experience! I really wish there is omething we all could do to stop this! I just recently went through another major surgery last month due to the molding clinic. I have had 7 surgeries since May 2005, including the banding. I hope and pray this one will be it. Goodluck! And if you have any ideas please let me know... Thanks... Happy holidays!
