The INAMED band is FDA approved. The other is made in SWEDEN and is a much better band and has less slippage. The doctors also get the swedish bands cheaper. If you go to Mexico you have no idea what band you're getting even if they give you literature from another box. All I am saying is that you have recourse in the States, you have little to none in Mexico.

NO, he was recommending something else but he does other weight loss surgeries other then the band that the doctors in Mexico ONLY do.....I realize some of you are angry about what I said but I am only educating the ones that think Mexico is the ONLY place to go, as I did. Most people can see that I am only trying to help and why people are angry about it??? Maybe you all can afford to travel to Mexico for fills? Why would you do that if you can travel within our Country and have recourse if anything is to happen to you? In Mexico you have NO Rights!!! It is also difficult to find a fill doctor when having surgery in Mexico. They don't want the liability..... And yes, why would a doctor perform a lapband procedure on someone 168? Wake Up People!!!

my doc. in Mexico has done 5,000. I would still recommend a doctor in the States.

I am addicted to Chai Tea which has tons of sugar!! But the problem is now they sell it at their store and I make them at home. Very bad!!!

I am starting to wonder if the band is a phycological tool????? If we do all these things without the band won't we still be losing weight???
