It is nice to read your story! I am scheduled to be banded on June 19th and have been very nervous about the whole TJ Mexico thing. I have been pouring through this forum for days now and am feeling more and more at ease from everyone's great stories! I have 3 kids, two of which are overweight and if all goes well for me I will seriously consider bringing them in for the surgery also if they chose to have it done. These post are great and I am getting a clearer picture of what to expect when I arrive at OCC so I want to thank everyone for being so honest and providing such detail in your stories!
