Hi, looking for people who would want to provide a testimonial of their lap band experience in Mexico, prefer experience with either of the below. Hospital Angeles, Tijuana or Ciudad Juarez and Doctor or By Banded by Dr. Lopez Corvala in Tijuana or by Dr. Jose G. Rodriguez Villarreal in Juarez Desire around a 200 word testimony with a short audio recording (can be done on the phone of the same). Also, before & after pics. I have a budget of $100 per testimony, with limit of five. If you want a higher compensation just mention it, and if I don't find my first five in $100 I will try to meet your expectations. Plan to use these testimonial for a website. Thanks  john.hamilton67[at-the-rate-sign]yahoo.com

The entire staff at www.obesitygoodbye.com is very friendly and caring. You feel this from the minute you walk in the door. A majority of the staff speaks english and there is not a language barrier. Dr. Verboonen himself is very well spoken and knowledgeable of his profession. Aftercare is well documented as Dr. Rios, Dr. Fryare or Betty will call and check on you. All practice good bedside manner. Julio, the driver, was very accommodating and helpful. I strongly recommend this surgeon. The prices may change, so don’t quote me, but I would say around $7500 - 8000. For a round trip ticket to San Diego, it is about $300 where they pick you up and take you to Tijuana .  The hotel is usually included in the price.  One day and overnight in the clinic (as they call it, it is more like a private hospital) then 2 days in a very, very nice 4 star hotel.  You can have someone go with you and stay in the same room. There are 2 beds.

 You do not have to go back to for the fills.  The difficulty in having surgery in is finding someone to do the fills in the .  Many doctors will not do them mainly because of the competition factor.  There is Fill Center , $299, which was formed mainly for outside bandsters but some use fluro and some don’t and some charge an extra $150 for flouro.  For a round trip ticket to San Diego , it is about $300.  They pick you up and take you to Tijuana, add $150 for the fill in and as you see either way the price is about the same.  You will want to check on who can do fills in your area.

 One of the people on my friends list went to the same doctor but was not as satisfied with her experience.  If you go to the “south of the border” forum, click on a Dr.’s name it will bring you to the Dr.’s site.  There you will find the OH members that used him and you can send messages to them and also read how their experiences were.

I took chicken broth, single-serving jello, apple juice, bottled water, and tea with so I did not have to buy anything.
