It is my understanding that a lot of people that have been banded outside the US are having problems finding a Dr. to follow them with visits and adjustments.

If you live near Marshall, TX Dr. Querry will follow you and do fills for Mexican Bandsters. Someone got this crazy idea that she charged $1,000.00 per fill in the office. This is just not true. It is $100 or $150, not sure.

If you are interested in surgery, she has several self pay options if you do not have insurance.

Just thought I would post this incase someone was interested in the area.

Did you have your surgery in Mexico? I am considering it and I am scared because of all the bad things I hear about going to Mexico for surgery. The Doctor is Rudolfo Sanchez. Any comments would be great. Thanks, Becky

I did have my first lapband placed in TJ Mexico and came back to the states and had to be rushed to the hospital 5 days later. It was removed due to massive infection. 3 months later I had it replaced in Marshall, TX.

I went to mx because I was trying to save money and in the end spent more and almost lost my life.

If you decide to go to mexico, please do your research!!! If you think you want to stay in the states, I know that Capitalone will finance the band.

Good luck on your investigation.
