New to this forum. I've lurked for awhile and decided it was time I participated. I've been investigating the lap band surgery for a couple of months, now. I've decided, with the help and info from various forums, that the Lap Band is the surgery for me. I'm going to MX to have it done and it will probably be Acuna, MX with Dr. Jose Rodriguez.

Now, all that's stopping me is the financing..........but, I have just about worked that out!!!!

Glad to be part of this facinating world of bandsters and pre-bandsters. I'm also totally amazed at the info out there and the forums available. Ain't this a grand time to be alive? Ha!

Becki:D

Betty,

I live close to Austin and SA. Are you going to MX for your band? Let me know when you get your date.

Becki

Welcome Becki! Wishing you the best on your journey to be banded... you'll find lots of support here!

Nice to meet you Becky. I went to Mexico too (different surgeon) and it all turned out great. I think you'll be a happy camper when it is all said and done. Best of luck and good wishes, Teresa

Sounds like you are ready to set a date. Good luck.

Hi Becky, welcome!! :D

Welcome!!! Glad to see you here! I am anxiously awaiting becoming a bandster, too!

Thanks to all of you for the warm welcome.

I was just talking to the girl in San Antonio that helps Dr. Rodriguez's patients to and from the border and she has a trip planned in a few weeks to take some bandsters for fills........so, I asked if I could travel along so I can meet the Dr.m visit the facility, and meet some previous bansters. She said she thought that there was room for me to go along too. I am looking forward to the trip and getting first hand knowledge from the other people going. I'll let you know how it turns out. I am so looking forward to the whole experience. Can't wait to actually take the plunge!!

Again, thanks for the welcome.

Becki

PS This is for Blossom......I wanted to email you since you are in TX, too. But I was unable to. Eveidently you are not accepting emails from people on the forum.. If you would email me I'd like to discuss where and who and how far along you are on your decision to get the Band.

Becki

Welcome Beckie! You will find that this is one awesome group. The wealth of information from this group and their friendships and encouragement are priceless. Post often so we get to know you. Let us know when you get a date.

Betty
