I was Banded at Molding Clinic in Tijuana for $6500.00. It was my airfare, hotel, hospital, surgery, Dr.'s everything. My mom and daughter only had to pay for air and food. It was the best experience I have ever had. They treat you like family. They took us to meals and shopping . I was given pain meds when I needed and they came to the hotel to check on me.

I am in contact with them all the time for check in's and questions. I went back for my fill a week ago and had a ball. I am from Olympia, and you can research them at moldingclinic.com.mex. You can call and talk to them and they will answer questions. I emailed them for 4 months before I decieded. I have gone from 351 to 256 since March-05, I love them!!!!

Thanks for the info. How long has it been since you were banded? One hundred lbs is a lot.

Didn't you hesitate for a long time before going south of the border. Was everything clean and sterile? What happens if something goes wrong?

Mickey,

I was banded April 15,2005, I researched for 18 months. The Molding Clinic Surgical Center was neat and clean. They use sterile techniques,gloves, you name it. I had a nurse stay with me the night. It was better there than here!!! They treat you like a queen!! I flew back for my fill and had a ball. We went shopping and took us out to eat and we stayed in a 5 star hotel. I will return for my next fill also.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
