Good luck to you. Today is my 6 month bandanniversiry...I have lost over 60 pounds and haven't felt so good in many years. I look and feel like a different person. I have 60 more pounds to loose. The band was the best think I ever did for myself and once I made the decision to get it i never looked back. At one time I was thinking gastric bypass....so glad i went for the band. It may be a bit more work but the upsides are the band is better for your body.....good luck to you and keep me posted....susan

I was banded by Dr. Corvala at Hospital Angeles. It was a great experience and I would do it again in a heartbeat. It was very professional and I felt well taken care of. Coming back on Tuesday should be fine as well.

I will send you a private message if you would like to discuss it further. Good luck!!!

Hi there, I'm in Lloydminster alberta! I was banded by Dr. Corvalla in mexico on july 10. It was and/ is a great experience. The hospital is outstanding. You wont be disapointed. Take a house coat and face cloths though, They don't offer those there?? But everything else is exceptional.

I have gone from a size 26 to a size 16 as of today! So i'm real happy.

good luck to you, your gonna love the new you

Hi

I was banded Oct 7/08 by Dr Corvala. Everything was great at the hospital, you'll be home before you know it. I went alone as well, the flight home was brutal, I live in Canada. (Chilliwack, British Columbia) I am still a little sore as I have a 18 month old boy who crawls all over me and needs his mom so I have probably overdone it it a bit. You'll be in good hands in Hospital Angeles, everyone was wonderful there!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
