Congrats!!! I can't wait for that day! Keep up the good work.

Hi DRP! I had my sugergy in Mexico just about two weeks ago. It was in Monterrey at CIMA (the hospital there). The experience was great. I was picked up from the airport and brought to Four Points hotel. The next day I was picked up from there and brought to the hospital. My luggage was checked at the hotel so I didn't have to carry it around with me. Then at the hospital I was given a chance to lock up my purse in a banker bag and also lock my other clothes in a locker. They did all my blood work, EKG then I met with the doctors and taken to surgery. I was then given my own room an they were very attentive. I left the next day and stayed that night and the next in the hotel. I had a driver the whole time so I didn't have to deal with that. They sent me back to the hotel with a bag of goodies-drinks, (tea, chicken broth, mangarin orange, peach nectar, jello and water) and a cup. I also had a patient coordinator who checked on me a couple times a day to make sure I was ok. It was good! I ended up going by myself so it was nice to have her calling me. Since then I've lost almost 22lbs. No problems, but I was given all contact information so I can get back in touch with anyone if need be. The surgeon to the nutritionist. I also have a hospital here that will work with the Allergan band. I had to make sure to ask because some of the American doctors won't work with certain bands. I hope this helps! I'd be willing to answer any questions you have. ~Mandy

Hey Sam! What do you need to know? Are you planning on going to Mexico too?

Hi Bob! It was very good. Everyone was nice and supportive. I went to Monterrey with Dr. Zapata. Where are you going?

Hello everyone! I was banded in Mexico 5 days ago. My aunt was the one to tell me about this awesome site. I wanted to come on here an introduce myself and see if there is anyone else in VT that's had this done. :puke:
