Tiffany i'm considering WLS with Dr. A. Ortiz. Did you use a scheduling agency? Fees for surgery? Your feedback would be appreciated.

Not sure what the statistics are' date=' but I know quite a few that had/have problems with their band two or three years in, after initially doing great with it. I was successful with my band for about 2 years, but it came with many restrictions in foods I could tolerate without getting stuck. One day my band acted up and closed shut for no reason and I've had problems ever since. Having the band unflled over a year ago did not help much, most days I still had problems getting liquids down - but at the same time managed to pick up weight again - thanks to slider foods :ph34r:[/quote']

Slider foods....uggghhhh I'm in the same boat as you. Band in 2007 lost 100 lbs, slip in 2011 and gained 100lbs. My sleeve date is November 14th and I'm very excited but somewhat disappointed with the thought of starting over. I followed my band diet religiously. I was happy with the results then the problems started. I'm looking forward to this journey but the lingering disappointment still lingers on.....

I am scheduled for Nov. 23 with Dr. Rodriguez in Juarez. I begin my preop diet on Monday. I am optimistic and a little apprehensive but really looking forward to getting the whole process started.

I know ... pretty frustrating and dissapointing to start all over, but at least we're heading in the right direction again and this time with a much better tool ;-)

Hi

Can you tell me how is Doctor is he?

I'm doing research for that doctor

Can you call me 818)9673700 my name is Nune. How much you paying?

I went to Dr. Alvarez, had my surgery 3 months ago today. He is an awesome surgeon, he takes very good care of his patients. He is more money, but worth every dime.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
