If anyone is wanting details on my experience I am still more than happy to share everything. I did great having my band replaced there despite it being my 6th abdominal surgery and I recommend Dr. Covarrubias and Bajanor Obesity Clinic. I know some people are still curious about there and my old posts I'm sure are in archives but feel free to PM me.

I am scheduled for August 4th - 2 weeks from this Friday.

I would love to hear all of the details on your experiences.

Would you mind posting how it all went and when you went and what your success has been so far.

Also in particular, I am desperate to know if you actually got the Inamed band.

Thanks and good luck to you too madisonsmom!

One of you might consider starting a new thread that asks for Bajanor patients to respond. I know I am not the only one here that was happily banded there. You might look up my old postings and others in the archives too to help you find all the info needed.

Dr. Carlos is not one of the surgeon but his brother Dr. Miguel is and he is not Inamed certified, however, Dr. Covarrubias is and if you are getting the Inamed and even if not he will most likely be your primary surgeon. Dr. Covarrubias was my primary surgeon but Dr. Miguel assisted and I got a mid-band. Good Luck to all, April

Hey lighter! Thanks so much for all of your help and for sharing your information. My surgery was changed to August 7th, this Monday (had trouble getting flight that I needed) . I will post how everything went as soon as I can get to a computer afterwards. I fly out Monday morning at 5:45... my first time flying! I will return home on Wednesday. Hopefully I will be able to use the computer at the hotel to post.

Wish me luck and thanks for all of the good wishes!

Have a great weekend!

Charissa :)

Charissa,

I'll be thinking of you and I'm sure all will go well! Are you staying at Hotel Lucerna? They've got computers just for emailing in the front lobby.

Best Wishes, April

Hi,

I have been researching to get banded in MX and ran into a screeching halt snag due to trying to finance. Then I was told about Dr. Carlos or that particular clinic taking payments. Is this true? I really need more input and experiences before I go ahead with requesting information and starting any part of the process.

I hope you can help with this.

Thank you,

Judy

That was my surgeon too, Dr. Covarrubias. I had numerous problems, and was being treated by a GI doc here in the states. I finally went back to TJ to have him remove my band, and he LISTENED (something they don't do here in the states) and found out it was NOT my band, but my gall bladder. Removed the gall bladder, no problems since then. I"m curious why did you have to have your band replaced? Did Dr. Covarrubias do that as well? I LOOOOOOOOOVE the man! He's great.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
