Hi i am new to the board, I am thinking about Lap band surgery, as with the rest of you I am obese, and doctors are telling me close to having Diabetes, so I really need to stop and think about my options.
Is Dr ortiz the only one who performs these surguries, I dont think i could afford to go to Mexico and have the surgery,
also is it worse then having a hysterectomy, I had one back in 99, and cut me from navel to well you know and stapled. I went back to work in 2 weeks my choice since i was told to stay off for 6 weeks, but financially I couldnt. altho i did NO lifting at my job, thought it would be ok, and it was I had no problems.
My pain threshold is pretty high.. where do they cut you at?
if anyone could answer these questions would be awesome!
thanks for your time.
