    Hi Stacy a little gassy and hungry. I will try a little melted cheese maybe some sour cream. Lost 5 since the surgery.

    The experience from start to finish was as pleasant as a surgery could be. Since I am in the medical profession, I was scrutinizing the whole experience and I feel that it was as good if not superior to the US in terms of modern equipment, cleanliness, etc.

    Hello everyone It is now 8 days post-op and hunger is starting to set in. Juices are just not doing it. Does anyone else have any reccomendations as to what to eat? cream soups are a little liquidy. Hpw about jello and chocalate pudding? Something salty? Is sour cream OK? Please advise

    Good evening everyone. Just had surgery approximately 4 hours ago. Felt a little pain but now it is just slight discomfort. Started walking. I am so impressed with not only the facility, but the staff as well. Dr. Ortiz had a little chat this morning, laughing and joking. He is a special person. All in all this was as pleasant experience as one could have for a surgical experience. Keep you up to date Mitch

    they inject into the port which is brought up right below the surface of the skin. Probably hurts as much as a tb test. Not to worry just think of the new you and how much healthier and better you will feel

    Do the best that you can. If we could control our weight we wouldn't need the surgery. So I'll see you there. Think positive

    There is usually a endotracheal tube that is placed in your throat to access your airway to deliver anesthesia. I spoke with Dr.Ortiz and he told me that they are using a laryngeal mask now. It is easier and is used for short cases, The lap band has now become a short case(time under anesthesia). It still is a small tube but comes out immediately as you become responsive.

    They do not keep a tube in your throat they use what is called a laryngeal mask. I will be there on the 15th as well in the AM don't be nervous if you wahnt you may e-mail me at any time

  17. Bronxdaddyo
    yes i am i am also a bit nervous as I am in the medical field and reviewing dvd's of the procedure. In this case ignorance is bliss. I wish that I didn't know so much o

    Hi Marsha I am scheduled for Mar.16 I live in Indio How is your diet going I have lost 8 and will need another 7 in 1 week probably will do the 3 shakes daily
  19. Bronxdaddyo
    Have you started the pre-op diet or tried? I have been gaining weight a little, trying to eat things that I think I will never be able to eat again. A little silly huh
  20. Bronxdaddyo
    Anyone on March 15 or 16. By the time I have mine done on the 16th you all we be experienced pros, losing lots of weight.
  21. Bronxdaddyo
    As the day approaches, is anyone else getting that feeling that you need to eat things that you will never be able to again? It's kind of silly but the feeling is still there

    Hi March 16th for me anxious to get going can't wait.
  23. Bronxdaddyo
    I can't give you much post-op advice but I hope that you could give me some pre-op thoughts (lap band set for 3/07.) I am in the medical field so the medical justifications are easy to comprehend, however we use food as a crutch(love.depression,anger,joy) etc. The procedure doesn't take care of that. That's why I'm waiting till March so I may really consider my personal reasons for overeating and try to make positive changes. How has it been going for you
