thanks for the welcome,have a great time this weekend with your girlfriends. I'm getting nervous and am eating like there is no tomorrow. I really have to figure out a better way to control my nerves. I will start my pre-op diet on the 5th.

awesome!! I'm glad your doing great! So all the things you were feeling were just normal then? We have to drive from Canada because I didn't get my passport in time, so I have a really long drive I hope I'm not too uncomfortable. We are the same weight and I hope to be 125 by next year.

hi, just sent in my deposit for my surgery on April 12th, so I guess I'm one of the april bandsters. I booked with Dr ortiz.

Hi skinnyjeans, I'm going for surgery on april 12 th, do you still regret getting this done

I've been researching the lap band for a few months and know I need to do something about my weight, so I finally convinced my hubby and went ahead and started figuring out a date that would work for me. So I booked with Dr. Rodrigeuz in Del Rio, then I got a call from a different patiant co. and she was telling me the lap band isn't the way to go that i wouldn't be able to drink alcohol or eat spicy food, which I will never give up!! So she suggested the mini gastric sleeve, it really bugs me that I would have 60 % of my stomach removed and besides I cannot afford the price difference. So then I phone Dr Rodrigeuz in Monterrey and spoke to him directly, I liked this, no middle man to deal with. He suggested the band would be the best. Any comments on the lap band or Dr Rodriguez?

can anyone tell me who their patient facilitor was for Dr ortiz, I was assigned a PF named Renae and he is really slow at reponding.

thanks ReneBean, all you need to drive across the border is a phota ID and a birth certificate.

hi, I was considering either Dr Ortiz or Dr Kuri, if you are there La Madam what complications did you have with dr Ortiz thanks

hi everyone, well what a gong show these last few days were. Sent away for my passpost a few weeks ago because you cannot board a plane going to the states without a passport (this started Jan1/07) so I phone to see how much longer and low and behold they are experiencing a large volume of applications and it will take up to 4 months!!!!! what a joke!!! So I'm bound and determined to get this done by summer so we are going to drive from Red Deer, Alberta, to San Diego with my husband, mom and 4 children. Pretty sure this will be a trip to remember!! Because we are driving I decided to go with Dr.Kuri in Tijuana, this is alittle closer then driving to Del rio where I was researching Dr. Jose Rodriguez. Anyone have any comment about Dr.Kuri.
