Dr. Zapata in Monterrey Mexico, I am so happy, I'm going to start a new life, be a healthy Husband and father. This was a tough descision, been thinking about this for months, I am traveling alone( a little nervous), but I'm a 33 yr. old man, I need to quit whining. All those pre existing conditions that run in my family(obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure,strokes, heart disease), maybe I can beat these, I'm 305lbs. hope to get to 180lbs. and healthy. Everyone on this site has been so supportive and helpful. I say to all you bandsters and future bandsters, good luck and I wish you all the best of health.

Hi Danny, I am doing fantastic. It took me a long time to get good restriction. I am an average loser at 2 lbs per week. I am down 56 lbs with a out 46 to go. Its great being over 1/2 way to goal now. I have the right restriction so I am really losing steadily now. You will find that important.

Danny this is so exciting for you. I am not banded yet but hope to be in August. The time away from family is hard but it makes you appreciate them that much more. Good luck to you!

Val I hope you get to be banded in August, My wife is pregnant and we have a 3yr. old, I'm going to miss them so much, but in a year or two I will be healthy, instead of watching sports on tv, I'll be playing them, take care and good luck, Danny

Hey Danny,

Congrats!! I am also being banded on June 9 in Monterrey also, although I may have to change my date if I don't get my passport. I am also going by myself. I was told to be sure to ask for a wheelchair at both airports on your way back. Good Luck!!

Hello Danny,

How are you? I did have to change my date to July 17. I didn't allow enough time to get receipt of application for my passport. I am using Dr. Arturo Rodriguez. He proctors and trains many of the US doctors. I did lots of research and both names had lots of great stuff!! Are you using Rumbaut?

No Michelle I'm using Dr. Zapata, He is a Guru they tell me, I have been doing so much research, I just can't wait. Do you know anyone who has been banded? I have 2 close friends, one of them used Rhumbaut, praise everything about him, the other one used somebody in Gainesville Fl, Hipp I think, every thing seems well for him. I used ready4achange and Janet helped me out, everything seem to be on schedule. I'm a little scared doing this by myself!! How about you? I wish you the best of luck, stay in touch, Danny

Good luck with your surgery! This is a great site for infor and support. You are so right in thinking about the end results for your wife and kids. Health issues like you named is a definite reason to do something about your weight! Stay positive and take pics with you of your family. Let us know how your doing!
