Pascale

Pascale, in Ottawa

50 yrs. 186 lbs., BMI 32

Banding scheduled next Tuesday in Mexico

I am going to Angeles Health International (in Tijuana) in one week to be banded. My surgeon will be Dr. Lopez-Corvala. I made them put it in the contract that only he would be performing surgery in case he would have a "team" and let someone learn on me.

I am so nervous I'm making myself sick. I am quite anxious about being in pain and travelling all the way from San Diego to Ottawa so soon after surgery:frown:

I'll be alone because no one I know wants me to do this and they're hoping I"ll change my mind. Does anyone have any reassuring words for me.

Does anyone know of where I can get follow-up care?

If there is anyone from Canada that is interested in my experience I would be glad to help. I will give details both good and bad. I'm particularly sensitive to pain so you'll get a good idea about the post surgery experience.
