wow..I am scanning the forums and like all of you who have had this procedure, when you first heard about it and thought it may be for you....that is where I am. I have questions. 1. What does your BMI have to be to be a candidate. 2. What is a "fill" I am assuming that they blow up the band or something like that 3 Are the vast majority of you happy you did it and would you do it all over again if you had a choice?? 4 how hard is the recovery?? I have 2 little ones and cannot be down long. 5 Any canucks out there specifically in the Vancouver area that would know about local doctors? I am so happy for all of you that have found a solution "finally" I know what we have all been through. I am a 38 year old wife and mom of 2 in vancouver canada and it is very nice to meet all of you.

Hi new member from Langley canada...hi all. How did you arrive at the decision to go to mexico?? I am aware that there are some local surgeons so what was the benifit??? It sounds like you have done your homework. Thanks for the info in advance..I heard about this procedure 2 hours ago so excuse my "newbie-ness".
