Hi!

Been read'in so many posts, I wanted to join in with you all.

It's been six weeks since I was banded with a French Mid Lap Band. My Doctor and his team came from "Getbandednow.com" in Tijuana, Mexico. They are very kind and skilled professionals, trained in France. When I researched my Doctor's credentials, my mind was set at ease. I'm recommending them to do Lap Band Surgery for friends who's insurance does not cover weight loss issues.

At Sanoviv medical center, in Rosarito, they have never had a staff infection. Some felt it was a "lock down detox", high end spa, medical-alternative facility. There were patients (including Doctors and health care professionals), from many different countries. Functional medicine is practiced there. They use the holistic approach to health care.

The suite had a balcony view of the ocean, Egyptian cotton sheets, and marble tile in the bathroom. Organic cotton clothing was provided. There was a sense of peace everywhere, except the dining room. Why? People were begging the chefs for more food. They treat nutrition as medicine:hungry:. While most complained about their colorful salads, I was content to drink my organic apple juice-feeling the new sensations of my lap band.

My lap band package included medical testing, nutrition consults, psych consults, medical Dr. consults, allergy testing, lymphatic massages (sigh), all sorts of additional classes and bio energy testing stuff I did not understand. The place is amazing.

My husband even lost weight and he understands the nutrition and lifestyle changes we need to make.

I love Mexico! A few hours after surgery, I walked outside and sat in the sunshine. There was a slight breeze off the ocean. They even did foot massage that afternoon. Was fortunate to not have the shoulder pain from the surgery. I cannot believe how good I feel! Such clean small incisions!

Since I've dropped 25 pounds, am able to move without back pain, and with more agility. I feel optimistic. My stomach growls before each meal and I am hungry! Looking forward to my first fill.

Sure hope to learn lots, with all the support and candor on this board.
