My mom had her lap band done in Mexico (Not by OCC) on November 6, 2006. She did not have a good experience and was in pain from the second the drugs wore off. I would watch her eat, and it just seemed like so much pain. I used to tell her that if being in all that pain was the cost of losing weight, count me out. Granted she lost 53 pounds, but finally had to have the band removed (after 1 year). Seems the doctor who put the band in, nicked her stomach and a hole was created.. The band was slow
