Hey all, i'v been "lurking" for a couple of days just trying to learn as much as i can about lap banding, i'm scheduled for surgery on January 16th in Monterrey with Dr. Rumbaut. I'm so excited! :biggrin1:

Good luck to you!!

Wish you all the best, I am certain everything will be great. You have a lot to look forward to. Do everything they tell you to do.

:eek:

Welcome Pinky

Great to have you hear at LBD...it is a really supportive community I have been a member now since may and it has helped me through alot to know that i am not alone...I look forward to hearing of your progress.

:eek:

Thanks for the support, i'm not telling anybody but my parents that i'm getting the lap band, so it'll be nice to have a place where i can talk about it... or vent about it. Hopefully all goes well though and i don't need to vent too much. I'm determined to make this work.

I went to Monterrey Mexico on Nov 10 06 . Do u speak spanish? I brought a friend that did, it helps. What hospital is the surgery at? Mine was OCA hospital . My doc was DeLa Garza. It's a great city enjoy your last supper at a restaurant they have some nice ones there.

Hi, yup, i speak spanish. I actually live in Mexico near the texas border. My surgery is at the Obesity Surgery Center of Monterrey.

Was it nice? I've never been to Monterrey, usually when i travel it's to the US so i've never been further into Mexico. I hear it's pretty americanized though.
