hi. well i looked at lap bands for about 10 years and if you just look at the data over the long term , you will see lap band long term success is less than half. and alot of the mgb people are failed lap banders. so that should tel lyou alot. im not here to convinece you to get mgb or lap. you haver to go with your gut feeling on this. sorry for the pun. long term studies of mgb or bill roth 2 , as the technical name. are very good for mgb. 96% good. rny normally have to many complications and streching etc... mgb does not, now having said that  if you do not change your habbits you will stretch it out , and the band will not work as well. so this is a tool to help you loose weight but it does not work unless you change what and how you eat. also the mgb is reversalbe and  that was the final answer i needed to make the call on it. say in the future you get cancer and need to take in more protiens. it can be reveresed. i hope this helps. and look more at the longer term issues of both , and you will know what is best for you. good luck Will

about 9-10 k in mexico, verses 17-28k in the states. if your insurance doesnt cover it, and you cant afford a usa dr. mexico is a goos choice. i only recomend the one i used. which is limarp. i looked into mexico for about 3 years before i chose limarp. and it was a good choice for me. hope the info helps you and good luck,. Will

dr. pompa you can call me if you like and i can answer anyquestions you have. thx Will

Hi can u give me your dr's name in Mexico?  I have been debating on Lap-Band or Mini Gastric Bypass, not sure which way to go.  One thing I like about the Mini Bypass is not FILLS.!!

Also if u don't mind about how much does this surgery cost verses the Lap-Band?

Thank you for you time.  Hope all is still going good with your weight loss.
