Thanks Beachgirl, I'm gonna do exactly that, I just have to fax over op reports to new fill doctor, hopefully I can see him as soon as next week. I see you were banded in Mexico too. Who was your surgeon? Do you think that us Mexico bandsters receive less on going support and therefore suffer more negative results. I have a girlfriend who was banded 1 year ago in the states and she goes to support groups and anniversary dinners and such, and she's doing great. I'm thinking of joining her group but it's participants have all been banded by the same doctors in a shared practice at NYU hospital. What do you thinik?
