I'm home from TJ

[candy444 0]

Well I'm home from Mexico and offically banded. I was banded on Friday and got back to DFW last night. I won't be all the way home till I drive back to the little town where I live. I'm sore and brused and not sure if the rumbling in my tummy is because I need to eat something or just post surgery gas. I feel lots better than I did yesterday with all the flying and the Tijuana taxi ride (two hours at the border). My left side (port side) is swollen and brusing and I look kinda pregnant, but my twin says all the incisions look great and the rest is normal. So away I go.

HI candy,

IM THINKING OF BEING BANDED IN DEC. CAN I ASK WHY YOU WENT TO MEXICO TO HAVE THE SURGERY. I HAVE TALKED TO SEVERAL PEOPLE WHO HAVE. IS IT LESS EXPENSIVE? EASIER TO QUALIFY?

Amy,

I was a self pay and went to Mexico because it was it cost about $8,200 with airfare and hotel for myself and my twin as my companion. Here in Ft. Worth (the closest big city to me) the going rate is $15,000 cash, including a year of aftercare. My fills will cost $250 a pop, but it was still cheaper and I have time to save for fills. I have no insurance so qualifying was never an option. Good luck.
