Hi to all, I enjoy reading your posts and learning so much about the RNY surgery. I just thought I would post something in regards to the lap band for a change in case anyone is thinking about this surgery and not sure! As some of you may know I had lap band surgery a year and a half ago. I went south of the border too and have never regretted this. Great experience would do it all over again. I have had 3 fills 2 in the US and 1 back in Mexico, just had to go back and see Dr. Aceves. I have lost 112 lbs : cool: just 20 lbs shy of my goal weight. It has not been easy but I have been very persistant. If anyone conisders weight loss surgery the easy way out they are seriously mistaken. I have worked my butt off for every lbs I have lost. I have had to face issues my good friend (food) was helping me avoid, I have had to make mental as well as physical changes. I truly believe this surgery not only helped me lose the lbs but also make positive changes in my life. Does the band work? You bet! Sandy lap band - Dr. Aceves 292/180/160

thanks so much for your post!!!! I actually have been talking (emailing) Nina today about scheduling my Lap Band surgery with Dr. Aceves. I went back and forth about which Dr to go with (Aceves or Ortiz) but I've been so impressed with Nina and haven't read anything negative about Dr. Aceves so I thinking I've decided to go with Dr Aceves. Thanks again for your post. It's so great to see such positive remarks about Lap Band. I knew that Gastric Bypass wasn't for me and I'm so happy to have found this alternative! Hopefully I'll have stats like you soon! Thanks again!
