Hello I am new.

I have been researching this procedure for years, but as many other BC canadians have noted it is not covered by medical here. I have been twice to Dr. Lueng in Surrey but confess he did not inspire much confidence in me. As a paying customer I do have choices so am looking at US and Mexico. I would like to hear from others who have gone to us or mexico please. I find it helpful to have surgery done by those who have more experiance. Also as I am short (5ft) I want someone who is able to do the laposcopy in a short and fat space (so to speak).

congrats on your decision....I am also short...5 feet 2 inches...I was also a self pay..$15,000.00..best money I have ever spent...I was banded on 4/6/07 and I have lost 72 lbs...I had my surgery in Texas, where I live......Wonderful dotor...I couldn't ask for any better care...

I was told that because I am short that it would be more difficult to do surgery - did you experiance this issue?
