New here! hello

I am new to this board.

I am researching lapbanding in Mexico, and hope to get it done soon.

Can you share your experience, if you had it done in Mexico,

Heidi

I was sent a PM by someone asking me to respond to your post.

I had mine done in MX and then my revision to a sleeve.  I really wouldn't suggest a band in Mexico until you verify that you'll have follow up care when you get home unless you want to keep traveling to MX for aftercare.

Sleeves have better weight loss, fewer long term complications, and NO maintenance.

For surgeons in MX some are fantastic and some are butchers, just like in the US.  You have to do a lot of research.

Make sure they are a full fellow of FACS, avoid dangerous cities such as Tijuana and Juarez, don't go to someone that nobody has ever heard of, make sure they are board certified in surgery, avoid clinics and opt for hospitals, etc.

If you look at my profile you will see a long list of how to research Mexican band surgeons and another on how to research a Mexican sleeve surgeon.

Good luck to you!

Please read this blog before considering it!  Many American doctors won't do fills/unfills for those who were banded in Mexico.
