I have been looking into banding for so long and now it seems like I need to either do it, or get over it. I am about 100 lbs. overweight and am so discouraged as I feel like I have tried everything. This just seems so drastic. Worse yet, my husband was also very over weight, but has lost about 105 lbs. in the last year with diet and exercise. I think he does not understand why that has not worked for me. Feeling selfish about spending the money too. I am just wondering if anyone else can either talk me out of going to Mexico for the band or tell me that it is worth it. I have been overweight for about 13 years, and obses for about 7 of those. I still remember fit and slim and that idea is really hard to give up. HELP! Stop the insanity, I think I once heard someone say.:mad:

I am in the same boat, however, I have made the decision to start the journey. I will be banded in Utah if it is approved by my insurance. After joining this site and attending a seminar I am ready. It has to be your decision though. My husband is also heavy and will wait to see how I do on the band and then he may do it. I do not know about banding in Mexico. One thing to consider is at my seminar they said people contact their office who have went to Mexico and other countries for fills and they will not do it for liability reasons. This may be something to consider. Good luck on your journeys.

Hestie,

I was gonna say the same thing.

Fills.

Brooke, you should have a fill doctor lined up here in the US before going to mex.

I had two fills in my 8 month journey.
