I am not banded either, hopefully 4/18. Changing eating habits is a very difficult thing and I think we are all aware of this. But everyday is a day where there is an opportunity to change things. Don't be so hard on yourself, you can do this!
I am currently doing research on banding in Mexico because I want to be banded soon. I was raised in Mexico but I live in the States. I speak Spanish fluently and I know the system well, having said that.......I googled the Dr.s who do the surgery at Bajanor and I don't feel that confident going there. I have a friend in Tijuana who has 2 friends who had the surgery in TJ and they are doing great. The Dr. was Ortiz. I have been looking into Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. I haven't had much feedback though.
