Hey Pam,

Glad to see that your experience was so positive. Every time you post these kinds of messages, it really does help that person who is sitting out there trying to make up their mind. You are going to be so successful, and I am happy for you.

Hugs,

Suzanne

Hi everyone!This is my first post on the board. I had lapband surgery April 08, the band slipped, and I had it removed in an emergency surgery November 09. It was not a good experience here in Phoenix.After regaining 30 pounds, I knew I wanted to have the restriction again, but I was a cash-pay patient, and couldn't afford the cost of the revision...even at half the price.I was nervous about going to Mexicali, but I can say with confidence that I made the right decision. Dr. Aceves and Dr. Campos, their staff, the hospital, hotel and even the newer parts of Mexicali exceeded our expectations. I couldn't be happier. The nausea was the worst part for me, but that was gone in two days. It's only one week later, and I've lost 10 pounds, feel almost back to normal, and I've never had any pain to speak of...except from caffine withdrawal.While I was there, I met Sally S. from NC, Priscilla from NH, from MO and Heidi. It will be fun to follow each other's progress!Have a wonderful weekend everyone. Don't hesitate to change your life!Pam
