SouthTX LapBand 0 Posted January 16, 2006 Dear Chef Lady ..... Your initial post was posted off-topic on a long contentious thread that may soon be locked, thus your questions lost, so I decided to post it here.... Hello Everyone, I'm a new member to your loop here. Haven't even started yet. I have some questions, please. How long does it take from the 1st appointment you make with the doctor to the surgery? Are we talking months here? Is it a shorter lag time with the doctors in Mexico? Has anyone heard of the digital pacemaker that they have been using instead? I understand that the pacemaker hasn't yet been approved by the FDA.... Okay --- Appointment Lag Time: If you are willing to be banded by some of the lesser-known Mexican surgeons, you can be banded by Wednesday morning, if not earlier. A cashier's check and a warm body is all they need!!! The pacemaker is available in India (per recent spam here at LBT) and elsewhere, I am sure. The pacemaker will eventually be approved here. The FDA is very cautious. Overly cautious, some feel. And a warm WELCOME to you! :welcome: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
