Hi, I was banded in Mexico just before Christmas 2007. What an experience. I was hoping to get a band near home but not possible so after a great deal of research I chose Dr. Mascareno from Get Banded Now provides Lap Band Bariatric Surgery, Weight Loss Surgery and Gastric Bypass Surgery. Wonderful time as far as surgeries go. I talked with the Dr. and his patient helper Matthew for a long time before deciding to go for it. I felt safe and that I had made a good decision. I talked to a number of his patients and got a very positive report. I know that it could all have been phony but some of his patients were not the kind of people that would tell stories. Anyway after talking to them I took a trip to meet the Drs. and see the clinic. After visiting and snooping around for two days I decided to follow thru and get my band. So happy I did . I have lost weight already and am getting ready to get my first fill. I feel better and sleep better too. I am very active and love the out of doors. I fish and hike and now I am going to be able to do more of it without getting pooped out!! I am looking forward to this journey and hope to learn lots of tips here. BB
