  1. I don't know yet. I'm thinking of a personel trainer. A client of mine is going to one who helps with nutrition and resistance training. Why can't you have the band? Your anatomy too?
  2. I just wanted to tell people who are nervous about going to TJ and having a lapband, my experience. I went to Dr. Ortiz on Sept. 4 to have a lapband placed. Now, my anatomy is a little messed up. My stomach is on the wrong side. My appendix were in the middle ect. so, I had a phone consultation with him first and told him my stomach was on the wrong side. He said it didn't matter and when he got in there with the camera he would see everything and just place it . The thing is, when he got in there, he discovered my main arteries were to close to my somach and he said it would not be safe to put it on because it might rub the arteries and over time cause them to burst and I'd bleed to death in minutes. Of course this is a very unusual problem but my point is that Dr. Ortiz is very honest obviously, and good at what he does. While I was really sad I couldn't have it, I was glad he was honest. And I couldn't believe that they refunded almost all of my money. My husband said they had me in there almost 2 hours so I am very impressed that they only kept around$400. for hotel and some testing. I don't believe a doctor in the US would ever do that. Anyway I think Dr. Ortiz is a caring, honest Doctor and I'm thankful to him for not putting my life in danger.
  3. No, we haven't met but you sent me a note about getting fills around the same time. I was at the clinic on the 4th of this month, and we would be on about the same schedule had I got it. Jennifer stylin_68025
  4. I'm getting banded on Sept. 4 with Dr. Ortiz and I'd like to meet other people who will be flying in to S.D. and getting surgery about the same time, so we will need fills about the same time, and can work out a plan to meet at the airport and take the bus and subway or taxi to the office together. I just don't want to do it by myself and I don't want to pay $130 to get there or I might as well do it here, in Nebr. where I live, because it costs about the same with that transportation fee. I would rather come back to Dr. Ortiz also. Anybody interested in keeping in touch email me and let me know.
  5. I am getting banded on Sept. 4, 2006. I'd like to meet others who are doing it on the same day so we can hook up for out fills together and take the subway ect. I don't want to do it alone.
