I was Banded at Molding Clinic in Tijuana for $6500.00. It was my airfare, hotel, hospital, surgery, Dr.'s everything. My mom and daughter only had to pay for air and food. It was the best experience I have ever had. They treat you like family. They took us to meals and shopping . I was given pain meds when I needed and they came to the hotel to check on me.
I am in contact with them all the time for check in's and questions. I went back for my fill a week ago and had a ball. I am from Olympia, and you can research them at moldingclinic.com.mex. You can call and talk to them and they will answer questions. I emailed them for 4 months before I decieded. I have gone from 351 to 256 since March-05, I love them!!!!

I had that too, we call it lonely mouth syndrome. I usuall tried warm broth. I don't know what your Dr. reccomends, but it helped me.

A friend of mine is going to Wish Center and I wondered if there is any problems with this outfit. Anybody know?

I have heard of that but I haven't any information. I went to Tijuana for mine in April 05 and I am down almost 100 pounds and I still have 100 to go!!

Thanks for the info. How long has it been since you were banded? One hundred lbs is a lot.

Didn't you hesitate for a long time before going south of the border. Was everything clean and sterile? What happens if something goes wrong?

Mickey,
I was banded April 15,2005, I researched for 18 months. The Molding Clinic Surgical Center was neat and clean. They use sterile techniques,gloves, you name it. I had a nurse stay with me the night. It was better there than here!!! They treat you like a queen!! I flew back for my fill and had a ball. We went shopping and took us out to eat and we stayed in a 5 star hotel. I will return for my next fill also.

I was banded by Dr. Srikanth at the Surgical Weight Loss Clinic in Tacoma. They do fills for people banded by other doctors. The phone number is 253-472-9850.
