Do not do it you will regret it. It is painful this is the wrong forum to be asking they only are lab band cheerleaders and do not respect others opinions here you will regret it and it I cannot get a dr to confirm it but I am guessing the damage done by the band is going to cost me more than the original 17500 the surgery cost me you can email me privately and I will gladly send you my phone number and I will talk to you.

I am 19 months post op. It hurts like heck I paid cash for my surgery with absolutely no support from the drs. I paid for an american surgery instead of going to mexico I want it removed they are not even telling me if they will and how much more they are going to charge for it. Does anyone know where I can get this done? I would prefer to go to mexico as I have already spent more money than I should have. I am down 13lbs in 19 months 325 to 312 as of this morning Please help if I can keep one person from making the mistake I made please let me know I will gladly give you all details. If you must do it at least go to mexico and save 10 grand.

I cannot figure out how to delete my posts otherweise I would it is too bad people have called me a liar and I could not just post my opinions ATTENTION MODERATOR If you see this please delete my account

I am deleting this. I do not remember the brand I think it is a large 10 cc band during my free year of fills I had 4 I think I no longer get free fills I had my surgery by Dr. Montgomery at Northwest Medical Weight Loss surgery in everett wa in late december 06. I think my band has 7.5cc in it now hurts like hell in my throat I do not care if any of you believe me. You may all go screw yourselves

i am sorry you think it is not right i am just offering up my experience as a bad one just as many others offer positive ones

my only other issue is people suspecting my motives. I will tell you any details you wantjust ask.

i think i have a large band 10cc? it has 7 in it i have to pay for fills so have not been recently too much pain to get one anyway

Do not do it.

It is meant to help others who have not had surgery yet. FYI I managed tio lose 50 lbs presurgery. Now that I have had to eat not much and endure the pain anytime I try I eat worse and tend to stick to low pain things. I am allowed my opinion as you are if you like the band and I do not. that is ok Should not people have the all the information possible then make there own choice that is the only reason I bothered to post this to try and help others I wish someone had done this for me preop. ASnd all you who keep saying do you exercise I walk on my lunchebreak just to get away from worl. And I work as a mechanic so my work is very physical.

I am not advocating mexican surgeries the reasons you mentioned is why i DECIDED TO GO WITH AN AMERICAN DR. I DID RESEARCH AND THEY CLAIM TO BE BEST IN MY AREA. I am only stating my opinions as you are. I am trying to help others from making the same mistakes I have made. It is ok for you to have your opinions just as it is ok for me to have mine. NO DOUBT YOU ARE WRONG BECAUSE THE MEXICANS KNOW THAT AND INCLUDE FLIGHTS HOTEL STAYS AND EVEN FOLLOW UP FLIGHTS FOR FILLS. If you disagree with me that is fine but do not state your OPinion as some high and mighty because it is just yopur opinion.
