Good Luck to those going to Mexico for surgery. I can't stress this enough to have aftercare set up BEFORE getting the lapband. Find a US doc that will take care of you if you are going outside the US for surgery. Very important.

Do you have a local aftercare LapBand surgeon lined up? Please read my post, "BEFORE GOING TO MEXICO" for further information.

I kind of agree with you about going to Mexico. I found Dr. Horgan in Chicago who is 15k that includes 1 yr of follow up care. A 375.00 fee to the shrink doc is not included. I think for the extra money and not having to take time away from the family I will go stay in Chicago.

But to each his own.

Cheers!

ChicagoBoy... by the time I add up all my surgeries, $15,000 might be a good deal. Be good to yourself, it's worth it.
