I am having lap band surgery on 3/25. I live in CT but am having it in Mexico where my niece did 9 years ago. It was a very successful experience for her but I am starting to get a little freaked out because I am reading about everything that could go wrong. I am also getting a lot of heat from my family about going to Mexico but cost was a factor because this is self-pay. I am just getting very confused and nervous for the first time. I have been researching this so much I feel like I could perform the surgery myself but I guess between reading about what could go wrong and the pressure from my family, it is really bringing me down. Any advice anyone can give or any positive experiences that people have had going out of the country for this procedure would be helpful. I am also concerned about having a problem after the surgery, having to have it taken care of here, etc. My mind is just all over the place. Any help would be appreciated --
