My wife and I are in serious contemplation about getting banded. I am a pastor and my wife is a teacher. We have been amazed at the perceived quality of care by Dr. Ortiz in Mexico and the price. It is half the cost of a self-pay at our closest surgical clinic offering this surgery! We both have Blue Cross, but neither of our carriers covers weight-related surgeries or procedures. We are wondering a couple of things: 1) If you and your spouse did it at the same time, what was it like? 2) What is the worst thing that you have heard in terms of a complication? 3) What have you heard about excess skin and/or liposuction needs once the majority of excess weight was shed? Anyone else from Central Mississippi here? Thanks!

Mississippi couple contemplating using Dr. Ortiz. Would like to use Oxford, but the cost is half and for two people, it is like getting a surgery free. In the process of looking at the follow-up piece, though. Hope your New Year is great!
