anyone under BMI 35 banded?

[alice 0]

I can not get banded in USA because I am not 40 or over BMI. I am clinically obese, obesity runs in my family as does heart disease, diabettes, high blood pressure and osteoarthritis.

It pissed me off that I don't have the option to be banded in USA, but I could go get an elective Tummy Tuck which is more invasive surgery and you are under longer.

Actually in Mexico they have been doing the proceedures longer.

Does anyone recommend a good surgeon in Mexico?

Has anyone been banded under 35 BMI, if so can you share your results?

Thanks

I was slightly over 35 and under 40, but mine was self pay, $15,750.00, included surgeon, hospital, and all test, except psych test, another $150.00. My only "health" issue was slightly elevated cholesterol.

Lets see, lost 18 lbs, that's $883.33 per lb so far.
