Mexican doctors were doing the procedures before our doctors here. Dr. Ariel Ortiz in Tijuana is the one that brought the procedure to Mexico and he is the best! He proctored American doctors who went to Mexico to learn with Him at his hospital. He can set you up with doctors he has taught here in the US like my doctor Lee Grossbard in Tampa, FL! Look into that!

SkinnyCubanChick replied to minxymonsta's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Gas x strips did not work for me. The gas x chewable worked very well along with Tums! -

What's your daily caloric intake? -
How long are you considered "healing"?
SkinnyCubanChick replied to Brittb1987's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Everyone is different! I am almost 4 weeks post op and my port site is still sore at the end of the day! -
No because I always knew I'd gain it all back like many a time before!

I was at the market a but ago and all the "healthy" processed meals are loaded with sodium and things we are not supposed to eat after banding. What surprised me the most was that Kashi is one of the worst culprits. Anyway we should not be able to eat that much food at a time. Remember 1/4 cup 3 x a day!

No artificial sweeteners...suggestions?
SkinnyCubanChick replied to tjmiller's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
There is too much sugar in apple and cranberry juice. Try the diet ocean spray cranberry and unsweetened apple juice. You don't need the calories! -
Checking into hospital right now.

Very hungry all the time!!
SkinnyCubanChick replied to mommaband3's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Yup! Bandster He'll! I got used to fighting it in 6 weeks. Mind over matter until I get to the fill that takes me into the green zone! Don't worry many have been there and many more will come. Don't feel bad it's normal! -
Skin prepping?
SkinnyCubanChick replied to jewel2013's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Stomach, neck and upper arms are a problem for me! Let me know if the Mederma works! Please!!! -
How soon did you start running?
SkinnyCubanChick replied to Brittb1987's topic in Fitness & Exercise
I was banded on 12/14 and I still cannot run. I saw the doctor Monday and he said to exercise but wait at least two more weeks to run because the intraabdominal stitches take longer to heal. -
My biggest regret
SkinnyCubanChick replied to mkb805's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Sweetheart, take the good advice and discard the rest! Please see your doctor as soon as possible! I haven't had a fill yet and could not deal with one right now! It is known that people can and will resort slider foods because that's all that can be tolerated. Stop the sliders and call your doctor and nutritionist! Do not be overwhelmed and do not regret the band until you find out what's going on! -

I was banded on 12/14 by Dr Grossbard in Tampa. He is a business partner of Dr. Aguila! Dr. Aguila is now in Dr Grossbard's office also. -
