Well, I did it I was banded yesterday.(april 21) Dr. Rod is great and he knows his stuff. He also has a smile that lights the room. The hospital stuff are very caring and willing to help in any way. Barbara ( my pateint avocate) is wonderful!!!! She is so full of knowledge and easy to talk to. She really took the edge off. There is nothing wrong with Acuna. We shopped,ate at Crosby's (superfood and super staff.) We have really enjoyed our trip. Acuna was the way to go for me. We head home tomarrow and I am starting my new life!!

Welcome to bandland Dianna! I also had surgery in Mexico - Monterrey with Rumbaut. I hope you're feeling well and will continue to post on LBT. I see that you're from Texas, is that right? Where about in Texas? The reason I ask is that there are groups of people that get together fairly frequently and it's a lot of fun and a great support system.

Next time tell us a little bit about you - I'm curious about why and how you chose Mexico and Dr. Rod - is that for Rodriguez? Are you a self pay and if so how much did the band cost you? Mine cost $10,600 for the whole package.

Keep in touch.

Thanks Donna. I chose Dr. Rodriguez because I could drive there.I was looking in to Dr. Rumbaut but, then I lucked in to Dr. Rod. The cost was 6800.00 and we spent about 300. on gas and eating. I took my kids also, it was great. I chose to go to Mexico becuase our insurance doesn't pay for weight loss surgery.I live about half way between Dallas and Whitcha Falls.

Hi Dianna:

I am seriously thinking of having Dr Rod do a band on me, but had a question. I live in Ft Worth, and was wondering if you have found a doctor around here that is willing to do fills? If so, how much are they charging?

Barbara said something about Red River Radiology in Paris, but wondered if you found somewhere closer to DFW?

Thanks!

Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Acuna is whom I've chosen, just need to figure out local fill options!
