Hi everyone,

I just want you to know that I have been reading all your posts for weeks now and if it weren't for the encouragement on this thread and Post Band, I don't think I would have been so pro active when I originally looked into the Lap Band in January.

Thanks for all your posts and for your help in helping me make this decision. I am being banded on April 8 and although I am scared, I am also excited.

I'll be reading and posting. Good luck and success to everyone!

Alice

Hi Alice-I just had the surgery on March 25th and am very glad I did. I went through it with flying colors and have not had a bit of problem so far. I will be getting my first fill on May 9th and will post on here how things go. Dr. Alvarez in Mexico and his staff could not have nicer. They treated me as a pampered guest and looked after my every need. They also treated my friend who traveled with me with the same respect and courtesy. Dr. Alvarez even toted my luggage into the hospital-we about fell over in shock-there is not one thing he could have done to make me feel better.
