I wish my mom had helped me out with my weight when I was 13 instead of telling me to stop eating! Go for it girls! -

Amen to that sister! I banded on 2/18 and let me tell you, the hospital here in the states gave me too many pain meds after knee surgery 5 1/2 years ago and I respiratory arrested and went into ICU! At OCC, Dr. Ortiz's staff made sure I was comfortable and here I am! alive, well and sooooooooo very happy! I agree, if you were going to have heart bypass would you go to someone that did 1 or 2 month or 6-8 a day! Well, you picked the surgeon who does 6-8 a day! He has it down to a science and it was wonderful! Woo Hoo! Have a ball and enjoy the attention! =D> -
You can do it! Stay on the forum because I was banded on 2/18 and let me tell you, i get strength everyday from something I read on the forum! You can do it! It will be one week tomorrow for me and I am doing great! Go for it!

just banded on 2/18 and was told no stomach exercises for 3 months and no real exercise except walking for 3 weeks. I do not think swimming with the glue on the stitches would be good right now but i walked a mile 4 days after surgery! Good luck! >

I was banded on 2/18 and my cars look like the very first photo where you can hardly see them and it has not even been a week! I have very little bruising and you can not see the port! Promise! I may post pics of the day after surgery of my "scars!"

Why surgery in Mexico? A response...
JilliePooh replied to Lainie's topic in Weight Loss Surgery Testimonials
I agree with lanie! I was "overdosed" on pain meds given by my doc in an American hospital right here in my home town and respiratory arrested! I was banded on 2/18 and felt the care I was given was better than what I had here in America! I too am having to justify to friends why mexico and I say "Would you want a doctor who does 2 heart bypasses a month to do yours or one that does 6 a day?" Well, they always say "6 a day" and I say "that is why I went to dr. ortiz!" He does 6 a day and has it down to a fine science that works! So we will all have to show "them" that TJ was the right choice! Keep your chin up! -
I was in Tj and banded on 2/18! great experience! I want to head to Tj for a fill too! Loved it there and in the OCC clinic! Great people! =D>

I was banded by Dr. Ortiz on 2/18! I am home in Texas feeling great! I too went out the day I came out of the clinic and went shopping! Bought 2 pair of awesome handmade cowboy boots! I was feeling sassy! I feel great and did have a bit of gas pain but I walked and walked and walked and it seemed to help! Go girl, you will feel great! =D>

I was banded on 2/18 and mine is still sore but not bad and just a bit bruised. My nurse friend said DO NOT SCRUB THE GLUE. LET IT COME OFF ON ITS OWN. So there! Good luck and keep in touch! -
You look fabulous! Loved the pictures and Congrats! I get banded on 2/18!
