I used dr j rodriguez (joseband.com) and was very happy. I have had some complications which are normal and just my body but I am doing better. The doctor has been super easy to reach and he calls to check on me. He alos only costs 7300. think about it. It is in Acuna, across from del rio.

Heck no! You will be weak and will not know how everythng is going until that evening (if done in Mexico) . Also the person who comes with you can go walking with you to get the gas out and get you ice chips if needed and help with the fun of going to the restroom (squatting). Dont try to do this on your own , plan this out talk to/ confide in someone and take them with. It is worth it. My banding partner took the family best friend as his wife couldnt come. seemed weird but it worked for them! Think out all you options!

I was only on liquids, unjury with jello making it water in my mouth before I swallowed, nothing that tasted great and all of a sudden I was throwing up the water. It just wouldnt get through. I had no clue what could have made it better. My dr said it was probably the liquid tylenol and the antibiotic that irritated my stomach and this was the result. Imagine I am breast feeding a 3 month old and had stopped taking the pain meds to continue to feed him. It has been crazy!

I know when I drink too fast it feel like a golfball is stuck! Just take your time. Do you use a lot of salad dressing to help it slide down? Or mayo to help the chicken slide down. that was some advice I was given- you want it moist and of course chew chew chew!

Just had mine and as I noted I had the exit so swollen from irritation that I couldnt get anything don and had to be readmitted. I am now on clear liquids for 10 days and hating life! I knew this could happen but people rarely talk about it here and believe me I was scared. I really have begun to doubt what I have done as I am so weak. Good side- I have lost 28lbs, bad part - in ten days! I feel like a holocaust victim! Yes I am a drama queen but you arent going through this. Oh and the vomitting business post op hurts like hell. I was so scared my band was going to slip!

I am about 1 1/2 weeks out and no stomach for me. My back is killing me. I have to sleep on my side and I have done as the others- put a pillow under one side of me to give me the feeling of sleep on mytummy! Get good pillows and take with you to the hospital.

well friends my old user name was juliyisra, but I am not home so I had to write. I had my surgery June 16th in acuna with Dr. jrodriguez. Everything was going great until the following tuesday night. I began to feel the golfball feeling and finally wednesday morning I began to vomit what looked like coffee grinds. I proceed to call the dr. and he ordered no food or liquids for the next 8 hrs and gaviscon. Thank god someone else had written about this so I wasn't so lost about what was happening. as soon as I was able to have ice- the vomiiting began again. Then it turned into blood and continued until I finally said we are going back to mexico. I am grateful we picked a place close to home as I was planning on going to TJ with Kuri. He said I had irritated the xit so much it was swollen shut and the proceed to admit me back into the hospital and medicate me until the following afternoon. I have been home since friday night and was told by the dr only clear liquids for 10 days,i have been freaking out. I have lost 28lbs and been drinking the premix isoure along with my water!!! Has this happened to anyone? The ladies at the hospital said I am one of the very rare and few cases this has happened to. Tell me if this is something you al have seen or heard about. :phanvan :help:
