Hi all. I am from Texas and we love our food! Same story as everyone else. loose and gain more. At first I was thinking of the band but have heard of alot of trouble about erosion and I wasnt to thrilled about having a needle stuck in my side for fills. In my research I found the vsg. I have been researching this for about 2 years and think it is perfect for me. I told my brother about it (hes a pretty big fellow) and he also was interested. So now my bro and I will be going to Dr. Joya in PV Aug 26. My wonderful husband will also be going with us ...as a baby sitter. We told everyone that  we were going to start a new diet in August. ( I have grand kids comming for 3 weeks now...love those kids!!) We just didnt want to here about Surgery in Mexico and how bad it is. (I dont think these people have ever even crossed the border.) We cross about twice a year for dentist work and to pick up my husbands meds. oooohhhh and the guacamole and margaretas are the best!! We always have a good time. I am hoping PV will be even better.
