Oregon Rocks

I had surgery on November 21st. I get my first fill on December 19th as well. I hope everything goes smoothly for you. Good Luck!

Hello All, I would like to contact people who have had reconstructive surgery at the Ariel Center in Mexico. THANK YOU

I am day 3 post op as well. No nausea, but my incisions are itching as well. Sorry about the dog episode. It made me cringe just reading it. Take Care.

Here is my blog that I started as a personal diary of my journey thus far. I started it in August when I scheduled my surgery for NOVEMBER 21st, http://bandwagonadventures.blogspot.com/

I sent you a friend request. I am excited for us both!!!! I live in Oregon. Where do you live?

Banded on November 21st. They found a hernia during the procedure and repaired it. I am feeling really good. Today is my last day of Clear liquids. I am looking forward to full liquids tomorrow. Since I won't be eating on Thanksgiving, I am certain to take lots of pictures of our family. I am so excited about my future. I had surgery with Dr. Ortiz in Mexico, and it was a great experience.

Good Luck. I am having surgery on Thursday.

Hi, I live near Portland, Oregon. My surgery is November 21st. Any other Oregonians needing a buddy?

I am going shopping for my post-op items. Once I am off Clear liquids, what should I buy? (My surgery is scheduled for November 21st and I am trying to plan ahead.) Thanks!

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I am so happy that you are doing well. Keep up the good work! On to a healthier you.

I haven't had surgery yet. I am scheduled for the 21st. I just wanted to get my pantry stocked as much as I can before having surgery.

I am set for the 21st as well. Good Luck to a new beginning.

I hope your surgery went well. What was you liver shrinking diet? Take Care.

My husband lived in Grants Pass. We both attended Southern Oregon in Ashland. Have you already had surgery? My surgery is in 13 days. Take Care.

Can you please list the Protein drink brand you use and how many protein grams it has. THANKS!

My 15 day pre-op diet includes 3 Protein shakes a day as well as; • You may have unlimited green vegetables either raw or steamed (no sauce or butter) and unlimited salad greens (no colors other than green). In addition, you may add fresh tomatoes or mushrooms. • For salad dressing, you may use any spray dressing such as Wish Bone Salad Spritzer, balsamic vinegar or lemon juice. • If hungry, you may substitute a serving of salad with one serving of vegetable or minestrone Soup (1/2 of can). • ·You may have non caloric drinks: example – diet soda (but no more then 2 per day), Crystal Light, Diet Snapple, zero calorie Vitamin Water, tea, coffee, etc. • ·As a snack, you are allowed sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles. • ·If you suffer from PCOS of hypothyroidism, please continue with your prescribed medication. Altering your medication can make it more difficult to lose the necessary weight.

I can't believe how many people are certain that I will be kidnapped or killed in Mexico... Can you please address the process of transportation to and from the airport as well as your stay at the Marriott. Anything you can comment on about your over all safety in general would be appreciated.

I cannot thank you enough for taking the time to go into such detail. I am so happy for you and the success you have had so far. You will do great!!!

We will have the same bandiversarry!!! I am November 21st as well. Good Luck!!!!

Congratulations on your upcoming surgery. Mine is November 21st. Good Luck!
