bayareanan 24 Posted October 6, 2011 I have had a band for 12 months and started at 340. I am only down to 298 now, despite my hard work. I am moving forward and getting the sleeve becuase I am tired of living at this weight. I am going to Dr Ortiz in Tijuana in about 6 weeks. I live in Central California and my insurance will only pay for half of the cost here. Paying cash in Mexico is still cheaper and with a lot less hoops to jump through.

Please be careful on going to Mexico--- have you really researched this doctor? I have had a band for 12 months and started at 340. I am only down to 298 now, despite my hard work.
