HI, my name is Stacey. I just started inquiring about lap band. I'm confused why everyone is going to Mexico to have the surgery. Is it cheaper or what? I'm reading all your messages and I'm getting scared and more scared by the second. I thought this procedure was so much simpler and safer than gastric bypass but it sounds like there are just as many restrctions and discomforts as the other. any help is appreciated. thanks

Hi... just wanted to add you can get the band removed if there is complications.... AND I just got my letter from Dr. Ortiz saying they are having a $1000 discount.... Make sure you research who and whatever you chose!!!!! Good Luck

OMG.... Is this true???? No carbonated drinks ever???? Why???? This could be a deal breaker!!!!!

I have known I want to be banded for a couple of years now, but I just can't seem to get the money together without huge interest penaltys. I work with people with disabilities (which pays nothing) and I am back in school. I do not own a house nor have credit... which I have noticed people think is odd, but I pay everything in cash, so if I dont have the money to buy it I wait... ok I have a huge fear of DEBT!!! lol have a Tauras that will need a new transmition soon..... LMAO I swear that my car knows when I have a few thousand dollars saved!!! AGGGGHHHH it is just sooooo frustrating... And I am shocked that at 34, 400 lbs, Hypertension med taking rear end that all of the insurances I have had I could not get the banding done....INSURANCE SUCKS!!!! lol ok I am a little bitter...... Anywhooooo, anyone have any suggestions???????
