Hi Everyone,

I found this board quite by accident but I have to tell this is great.

I'm 3 weeks post-op from getting banded in Monterrey, Mexico.

I was kinda scared at first but I had a very good experience. I know that I would not be able to get my insurance company to cover it so I headed south of the boarder.

I really need to find a fill doctor who will do Mexican patients also if anyone has any sound advice as to living with the pouch it would be greatly appericiated. Tonight was my firat try at soft foods. I have followed the liquid diet to the tee and was a little scared. I'm one of the lucky one who had no side affects from the surgery. It almost seems to easy.

Welcome to the forum!! How about those Packers last night??? Woooohoooo! My doctor is with Brookfield Surgical Associates, and there are three of them that do the lapbands (Engstrand, Burhop and Chiang). I couldn't tell you whether or not they would do fills for you, but here's the number and you can check it out. 262-786-3722. The bariatric manager is Megan, and her assistant is Darlene. They are both wonderful to work with. Good luck!
