Well,here I am. I have struggled with weight all my adult life and I am finally fed up. I need to do something and I need to do it now. I am 43 yrs old and I feel like I am 90. I am in need of any infromation anyone can give me. I have researched the Lap-Band system and I am trying to find a surgeon (probably in Mexico due to cost.) Any help is appreciated!:wink2:

sarahsmom I too have thought about this for alongtimefinally decided to so something about it,I also looked into Mexico and my husband about had a fit , but I had felt very comfortable with the dr. I would have gone to, I then started looking here in the states and heard about dr. kirshenbaum in CO. and instead am going to him I have a phone consultation with him on Jan. 8,and I have surgery on Feb 4th I am very excited about it, his cost is $9950, a little more then Mexico. I am from SW MN and was excited to see your post, I haven't many from MN.Good Luck on your decission, I to am selfpay because my ins. won't cover Weight loss.
