That is just terrible for Laura. I also went to Tijuana for my lapband surgery and it was an amazing experience! I went to Dr. Ortiz and have no regrets what so ever. I think there is always a risk with any doctor in any country Unfortunately she chose one of the bad ones :thumbup: Hope she is ok!

Thanks for all the advice! I hope it doesn't last too long :thumbup: I put some heat on it lastnight and it seems a bit better this morning! It is day 5....just anticipating getting to have fluids...2 more days!!!!! AHHHHHHHHHHHH Kirafiki...I had a VERY similar situation with a friend who actually came with me for support....all she did was EAT EAT EAT! LMAO....I was thinking...not that I want you to not eat but a little control would be appreciated!:ohmy: The gas x seems to do nothing and walking around doesn't do much either...I will just wait patiently for it to pass. As for the coughing up blood...honey I would get to a doctor immediately because that doesn't sound normal! Hope everything is ok. How did everyone get the neat BMI calculators? I want one!!!:thumbup:

Well what can I say but ouch! I was banded on Feb. 2nd which was an AMAZING experience at the Obesity Control Centre in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz. My inscisions look amazing but the gas left in me is terrible! It has moved to my shoulders and it is almost unbearable....mind you not sure what is worse...not eating the yummy food I am cooking for the family or the gas! All in all I am sure it will get better and hopefully sooner than later!!! Day 4 and I want to eat...UGG
