Hello all, I was just banded in Tijuana by Dr. Corvala. I was banded March 27th and returned home today, March 29th. I havent weighed myself yet. My hospital stay was great. I couldn't ask for a better trip. I unknowingly also had a hiatal hernia that they repaired during surgery. I was so glad that they went ahead with the band even with the hernia, and they fixed the hernia too. I traveled to Mexico alone and was a little scared at first, but as soon as I was picked up from the airport my mind was put at ease and everything taken care of.
