Shawn and Sharon, Hey guys. I so rarely get on here, so I thought I would make myself known...I am Terri...Hear me ROAR! It is so nice to know that there are others in the world with the same circumstances, and I have the luxury of two friends...one ahead of me by a few months and one behind by a few months. Cool! Anyhow, I think we should totally get together and meet for a something that will comfort us in our time of need. Or whatever. By the way, Shawn already knows, but I wore a pair of XL pants today. Like, as in regular sizes! I was so stoked! I made a point of showing my husband my tag and he was like "So?" and I said "SO?!?!, They are TINY!" and he laughed at me and said "Honey, Extra Large does not mean tiny". It is all about perspective and his high metabolism ass will never know what that is about...Ok, I am getting carried away. It is past my bedtime... See you later! Terri

I am new to this type of thing...e-mail is about as high tech as I have gotten until now, so bare with me. My name is Terri and I am in the process of planning for Lap Band surgery. I am leaning towards Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Tijuana, Mexico. I am hoping for March, unless I can get financing including trip expenses sooner. I would love any personal experience about inexpensive doc's, financing options and whatever else may be helpful to me. Thanks! ~Terri

Hi Roxy. You mentioned that you had the whole amount approved through Citerra. Would you mind sharing if you included travel expenses, the total amount financed, the terms of the loan and payment? I am at the point of chosing financing and want a low monthly payment and interest. Thanks!

Hello. I am in the market for getting the lap band at this point. This is the first I have heard of "erosion", but it is scaring me. I am going to finance this surgery...way beyond my means...but I am desperate to feel better. What are the chances of erosion? Like real stats... I am tentatively planning to use Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana....if that is of any consequence. Any insight is appreciated.
