Has anyone out there been banded at Hospital Bajanor in TJ?? I was banded there on 12/13/2007 and just wanting to hear feedback from other patients.

thanks!

I am scheduled for March 16th, 2009. So, it is a real place? Thanks goodness! How was your experience there? Any hidden costs that I should know about? Any problems?

Hi mamahudu! Congratulations on your decision to take this journey. this is a real place. It is actually more like a clinic vs. hospital per se. My experience was ok. However, I felt that the follow up was very poor. The person that was to take us from the hotel back to the airport never showed--he had been to an all night party, when we called to see where he was he kept telling us he would be there in 20min. We finally called a taxi to get us back to the airport. Had we waited anylonger for him we would have missed our flights. I don't feel that they gave me much information to take back with me i.e. surgery reports (just a generic paper with the name and date changed) which you will need when you go for your fills. Return phone calls are slow if you get one. I finally gave up and deal with a local doctor with any questions.

I have had no problems with my band so far and I am glad that I did it. I just wish I had made a personal visit to Bajanor prior to surgery--I probably would have changed locations. I thought I had researched sufficiently prior to going--however, never learned of this website until afterwards.

Good luck to you!!

From: Mstanton161, Hi DASHLY, I was banded two days (on 9/10/09) ago at Bajanor my experience there was wonderful the staff made me feel at home I was really impressed with the whole experience. I must say that I was a bit nervous at first but after looking around and seeing how clean and equip the facility was. After talking to the staff, I knew immediately they were competent. The pain after surgery was very minimal. I actually walked from our Hotel to Mall and back with my daughter and best friend the next day. I did have alot of air in my stomach and that was bothersome but the gas-ex I brought with me gave some relief. I'm so happy I did this and would do it again in a heart beat. I can truly say that Bajanor exceeded my expectations. :tongue2: I was given a take home packet full of helpful information/tools needed to be succesful.
