I did recieve

I was banded on May 17, 2006. I am Diabetic and developed an infection because my blood sugar levels were too high after surgery. I have no regular Dr. and Dr. Jimenez was to provide aftercare for me. It usually took 3 or 4 emails to him to get a response. I ended up after 2 weeks just going to a hospital on my own and getting medications and figured out how to adjust my diabetes medication on my own with VERY little help from him. I'm not impressed with Dr. Miranda either. Communication with here was lacking as well. I send an email to ask a question but don't get timely replies, to me that is bad aftercare service. Two weeks ago I sent an email asking for a referral to a Dr. in Mexico City for my first fill. No answer. Last week I sent another request, this time to Sandy in the office and not through the OCC web site. No answer. Earlier this week I sent the same request for information to Dr. Miranda. No answer. My surgery went fine. They provided all the help and did everything they said they would do, but the aftercare is terribly lacking in quality. They say that they provide aftercare for 1 year after surgery... They have my money for the surgery but they need to focus more on improving their service to patients after they surgery is completed. - Still waiting for an answer in Mexico City Ernest

I was banded by Dr. Ortiz on May 17th. Since then I have had a lot of gas. The airplane ride was very embarrasing. Burping and farting pretty consisitently for the first week after surgery. Now maybe 3 or 4 times a day. How long will this last?
