I just wanted to let you guys know I went to the OCC in Tijuana and had my band placed on Dec 22. I am now back home (long day of travelling wow) and feel way better than I thought. Dr.Martinez did mine (works with Dr.Ortiz). Everything went perfectly. Very clean. Staff very good. I have no regrets whats so ever. I have a fill doctor set up for her - but plan to go back to TJ early feb for my first fill because my friend and I had so much fun there :thumbup:

Congratulations on getting your surgery and back home for Christmas. Why did you choose lapband over bypass? I'm trying to make that decision now.I'm tyring to get points of view.l

:tongue2: I chose lapband because my bmi was 32.77 and I liked that I can have the band taken out at any time if I have problems

I just read your post, congradulations! I have a referral to have the procedure done in Red Deer, Alberta. If they do not take me on this year (the wait list appears to very long), I am going to Tijuana. I am excited and look forward to changing my life. Where are you from in Canada? Who is doing your fills? I think I would even travel back to Tijuana for all my fills if I needed too.
