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

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
