  1. My mom and I are schedule for April 11th. It seems like I am just waiting around for the time to pass. We are both very excited. My mom has already lost teh weight Dr. Miranda suggested so she isn't really struggling with the pre-op diet - she jut needs to maintain the level. Me on the other hand have been doing the 12 day prior diet - to be honest it really hasn't been bad! I guess it is easier to diet when you know you have a great new tool coming that will help you keep it off this time. I don't own a scale - will need to invest in one now that the numbers will be going downward! But I have followed it to a T and I am sure I will bebelow what Dr. M. recommended. If there is anyone else schedule for the 11th - I would love to hear from you! Can't wait! Camille
  2. Thanks - good luck to you as well - I wish it were tomorrow!
  3. I have scheduled my surgery for April 11th with Dr. Ortiz and I want to lose 65 - 75 lbs. I have battled with my weight for over 20 years and have been 60+ pounds overweight for the past 10 years. Lose weight gain it all back over and over again. I am sure you can relate. I went to a info session with a doctor in the US and they indicated that the band was now being viewed as helpful for people with 50 lbs or more to lose - so interesting. That being said, My mom also only has 50 lbs to lose and she is also going down to have her surgery on the 11th. Having battled this for a lifetime - we feel like this sugery will set us free. I also went done to visit Dr. Ortiz and they did not have any issue with the fact that we did not have 100+ lbs to lose. I can't wait to start losing the weight for good!
  4. My mom and I are scheduled for April 11th. We actually went down to TJ to visit the facility and Dr. Ortiz and staff a week and a half ago - After all the research I have done in this space and looking at all the specialists who have done a large volume of lap bands - I am now convinced that we are making the right choice by choosing Dr. Ortiz. It was easy to get a cab to the facility - so I now have no worries about getting there for my fills as well. All in all I had the same worries about getting this done in Mexico - but after conducting an intensive reference check with many who have been to Dr. Ortiz as well as visiting the office, meeting the staff, seeing the facilities -my fears have been put to rest. Good luck and more to come from mom and I as we have our surgery on the 11th. Camille
