Hi, I live in clearwater Florida and I called the fillcentersusa and they set me up with a center on 66th st in St.pete. I loved this clinic ! The doctors and nurses were sooo helpful and kind. I paid 349.00 it was so worth it. I just couldn't take time off work to go to Mexico. It is so worth it to go there. First they talk to you and answer any questions you have, they show you a lapband like the one you have in "its really cool". Then they have you lay on the ex-ray table and they show you your band on tv.that was really neet to see. Then they spray this really cold stuff on your stomach to numb it and then they stick the needle in and have you sit up and drink water while they fill your band. I didn't feel a thing, not even a prick. They put 2cc in my 4cc band. You would think I would be really resricted but I'm not, just cant eat any bread and I have to shew my food good or else i get sick. They told me if at anytime i feel the band is too tight I can come in and they will take fluid out at no cost to me. I hope this info helps you. Here is the website If you have any questions feel free to ask.
Good luck, Christine Nicholsen
