MMCHUGH 0 Posted November 2, 2007 Hi: I have not been through the operation yet but am seriously considering it. I am bordering on obese and I am getting concerned about it. My current weight is 230lbs which I am trying to reduce but it is a struggle. My ideal weight for my height, age and build is 150lb so, I have a way to go. I need more information on this procedure and would welcome any suggestions. I do have a few questions 1. What is involved in the filling process and can it be done anywhere? 2. Has anyone had any complications with the procedure? 3. What is involved in the aftermath of the procedure....do you have to diet or does the physiology kick in that lets you know you are not hungry? 4. I am from Alberta Canada.. has anyone had this procedure done in Alberta or Canada? If so what are the costs involved. 5. Has anyone been to the Monterrey Mexico clinic...I am told that the experience is positive. Would I be better off at a Canadian clinic or a Mexican clinic? 6. Do I have the lapband for life or do I remove it at some point...if I do remove it, will I get fat again? I have done some research so far but would like my questions answered by real people and not by the clinics. I would appreciate any help you can give me. Thanks!
