Not sure yet
Have a lap band worst decision of my life had to take all liquid out always bloated even worse when i eat can fell band. What is charge to remove and do other procedure?
This company he runs kicked me out because my companion through a fit over not having control. Michele Riter is the devil and kicked me out then stated I was ama. She threatened me and stated I was trespassing. I am a law abiding citizen. I took every step of the way correctly. They gave me no post op care. But instead gave me copious amounts of pain medication then left me to walk the streets of Tijuana on my own 1 day after surgery in the dark. Whatever you do, DO NOT BOOK HERE
