Surgery yesterday

[JudyDF 0]

Well my daughter had her surgery yesterday with Dr Ortiz in Mexico and everything went wonderfully! I am so relieved. Even though we both did a lot of research I had my misgivings about her going to Mexico.. but after her insurance denied her (no weight loss surgery clause in her policy) she really did not have a choice. Can't wait until she is home safe and sound!

That's great! :tongue2: Luckily I was covered by insurance but if I wasn't I would have chosen Dr. Ortiz also. I still like going to his site and looking at blogs.

So great!! I did my surgery in Mexico too (with Dr. Rumbaut). I had a great experience, and this is one of the best things I've ever done for myself! Hope your daughter is feeling great and will be home safely soon. :tongue2:

I went to Dr. Ortiz and had an awesome experience. The only thing that sucks is the 3 week liquid diet, killer. lol I just want to eat a solid meal. I was banded there 2 weeks ago May 26th

I know I was surprised 3 weeks of liquid. I had the same surgery March 30 but in New Jersey one week of Clear Liquids, then pureed foods one week then mushies. I know I will not want to be around her after the first week. I know I wanted to rip my husbands head off when he asked me what was wrong! lol
