Dr. Ortiz banded me on March 7th I had a great experience and felt safe the whole time! I am 11 days post op and doing well and am happy I did it! Wish I would have done it sooner. The Mexican Lapband Dr's have more experience then the US Docs when it comes to the Lapband and a I know that they teach Seminars in the US to the our US Dr's. I would rather have a dr who has done a over 5,000 lapbands then a dr. who has done only 200 or so. It is a personal choice but I was happy with Dr. Ortiz and the after care was wonderful!

I am 10 days postop and wish I would have done it back in 2008 when I first researched it! I regret putting it off....I was scared and dealing with emotional issues of not eating and what it would do to me mentally??? Does that sould weird??? Don't put it off! You can do it!

Im 10 days post op and everyday is getting better! My Dr. told me I could have popsicles and they are great... I'm still feeling some discomfort in my port area and it is alittle difficult to bend over still...I'm hoping that this is normal? Im new to this site.
