I have my date NOV 10th in Mexico, my mom had heres done in Mexico also, when she went down there they gave her the option of either lapband or midband. I've only been reseraching the lapband, cause that wats i wanted. can anyon tell me what the difference is? I've looked both of them up on the internet and they baiscally look like the same thing! So can anyone tell me the difference and pros and cons of each one thank you

can you list some of the names and areas of the doctors that will performs the fills? i will be forever greatful. god bless you!!!

The best way to find a dr is to go into the section here on the forum labled Fill doctors, or something like that. That's where I got Dr. Brinkley's name from. Depends on where you are located. I could probably have found one in the Richmond area but because of traffice, it's just as easy to go north as south around this area, you're still going to be tied up for a few hours. Good luck. :)Laura

If I could do things over again I would get the LapBand instead of the MidBand. I have found it very difficult to get a fill because it is not approved by the FDA. I do not want to go back to Mexico!
