Has anyone been banded at Bajanor who can share their experience. I was sent an article saying that having the lap band done in Mexico is dangerous, because there is no one to follow up with, they don't give you pain meds, and they say they will us the inamed, but use another one. Can anyone help alleviate some of my fears?:help:

I was banded in Mexico. I wish I could have afforded to have been banded here in the US. I was given pain meds.

Hi Liberattor, I was banded at Bajanor on May 24, 2007. I loved the staff and the doctors. The hospital is not easy to look at on the outside but the inside was immaculate and very nice. I was given pain meds and antibiotics to last a week. After that, I used Tylenol with no problems whatsoever. I would go to Bajanor again in a second. Dr. Carlos will answer all your questions. Also, if you ask, they will provide you with a list of former patients, including email and phone numbers. I called many former patients and 9 out of 10 were very happy with the care they were given. I hope this helps you with your research.

My husband and I were banded at Bajanor in April 2007. Dr. Carlos and his staff are so hospitable. The facility was very clean, but very simple. Not all the amenities we are used to having in the US. We chose the Obtech band by Johnson and Johnson. Dr. Carlos said this band was just finally approved in the US. I have not confirmed this. Does anyone know a doctor in Seattle area that will do a fill on this band? How about Canada? I'm willing to drive up to 4 hours if I have to. My husband and I have not gotten any adjustments. He is putting his weight back on, and I am at a plateau. We really need help finding someone so we can get back on the road to losing weight. Thank you
