CINDY BATES

Went to Monterrey Mexico. Dr. Arturo Rodriguez. $7900.00 per person TOTAL. They pick you up from the airport, take you to a very nice Courtyard Marriot, call you to make sure that you got settled in and discuss the procedure with you. The next morning at around 9:00 am someone from Dr. Rodriguez office will greet you in the lobby of the Hotel and from there you'll go to the clinic. Once we arrived at the VERY CLEAN clinic, One by one they went down and had the 45 minute surgery and then back to recovery for an hour. There was some pain involved with this procedure. I believe that most of the pain was from the gas that was trapped in their body from anesthia. The first night was a little uncomfortable for the girls, but not too bad. They have you up and walking very quickly. The next morning after surgery you will be discharged and the ride is there to take you back to your Hotel to rest for a few hours and then ITS OFF TO THE MALL!! A very sweet girl from the Dr's. office will again be waiting for you in the lobby to escort you to the mall. We walked around for about an hour and got the Jello, Broth and apple juice that was needed for the new lap band. What a GREAT EXPERIENCE! My daughters are very happy with the results. They finally feel full after a very tiny meal. This surgery is absolutely amazing and I would recomend this procedure for anyone that has already gone through puberty. HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!
