I have heard good AND bad things about this place. There are lots of threads on this site about Molding Clinic. Do a search here, ull find tons and tons of stuff. I did one on them here when I was starting my search for a doctor too. I believe there are quite a few people here who have used them. Maybe they will post for u too. :)

I used Molding Clinic when I had my band done in March. I had a very positive experience. I went down at the end of April and had my fill also. They did a great job and everyone there at the clinic are very professional. The facilities are clean and I would recommend them to anyone. Please feel free to email me if you have any questions.

See you soon.

I have heard bad things about them; the surgeon took his instruments out of what looked like a tackle box; they dumped this person at the border and have since been unavailable to answer any questions. I advised her to go to the er as due to the risk of infection

IMO it's just not worth the risk...

I was just banded on 11/29 at the Molding Clinic. It was a very positive experience. Everything was spotless, and Celina and the doctors were great. We were booked into a five star hotel, and Celina called me at least once daily. I would recommend this experience for anyone. My husband is VERY picky and a bit neurotic about doctors, and even he was impressed with how everything turned out. It has only been six days, but I feel great. I saw my personal doctor on Friday, and he was impressed with my incisions and the discharge orders.Feel free to send me a private email if you have any specific questions.:D

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
