  3. Hi,

     

    I will be off to Mexico ( juarez) on June 8th. I am on your side 100% I was also turned down by insurance and looked at different options. Where in Mexico are you going? I think your going to be just fine, do your research and you will find that mexico is a very popular place for this type of surgery. I am using Dr Natera and having it down at the Star Medica hospital . I went thru Medical Tourism Company and they put me in touch with some lady who just had the surgery in april . It was great talking with her and having her answer my questions. Good luck and keep me posted

     

    MArc, Houston Tx . USA

  4. Since being denied for WLS by my insurance in early Feb. 2010, I have been in a major depression about my weight and desperate to do something about it. I scheduled a Lab Band surgery in Mexico for the end of this coming April. However, I am having a lot of mixed emotions because my husband and close friend are completly against me going out of the country for this surgery. And If I do go through with it I will be traveling alone with no support. I am so emotionally torn because I desperately want this surgery but I am very afraid of the risks of being out of the U.S. Can anyone please share your experience if you've been to Mexico for this procedure. I appreciate it very much. :smile:

    Lapband in mexico-pls lemme know ur experience

    I am 230lbs. 5'7. I have been struggling with this weight loss battle for 10 long years. I've spent so much money, time and effort to loss 20-30lbs. just to gain all the weight back in 30 days or so. I was recently denied by my insurance carrier at the beginning of Feb. I went into a major depression until I researched surgeries in Mexico. My family and friends think I've lost my mind. I have no support and my husband is totally against my decision. But I know that I have to do this for myself to end this cycle of depression and food addiction. Any encouragement would be great...Thanks:smile:
