Eve P. Posted July 16, 2006 Report Share Posted July 16, 2006 (Written at clinic on July 13th) Well here I am! Just got banded today and am taking advantage of the two computers they have here for patients use. What a beautiful clinic! Ever since I was picked up at the hotel (which is awesome by the way), it's been an outstanding experience. VERY professional, immaculate, the entire staff is terrific. The surgery was quick, about 24 minutes. The incisions are small and will heal very nicely. They use surgical glue as opposed to sutures and it is so much nicer.I've had a few uncomfortable moments, kinda like drinking something cold too fast, one woke me right up. I grab my IV pole and start walking. It really works. There are 4 other patients here right now and I've met a great couple from Florida. Both nurses.The husband got the surgery and the wife is going to be trained tomorrow for fills.If anyone is interested in a housecall,please let me know and I will get the info to you.There is a doctor here from Oregon also getting a band. ...Eve __________________ __________________ Dr. Ortiz Tijuana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
