Dr. Elias Ortiz is an excellence doctor. I underwent surgery with him on the 19th n I don't have any regrets at all. He explains everything that is needed to kno step by step. Being honest you will get better care at Mi hospital in TJ than most hospitals in the US.

I also had Dr Lopez and Dr Ortiz. Both were very good doctors and very professional. I meet both the day of surgery and they explained exactly what would happen. I felt like my care with them and Mi hospital was better than I can ever have in the States. Please don't worry! You will be in very good hands. :)

With my lapband the anaesthetist screwed up and I woke up on the operating table as they were finishing up. So painful! and I keep having dreams about it with my revision surgery in 3 weeks! So did you with Lopez wake up in a normal bed a few hours later? haha x

I woke up in recovery and then was moved to my room. It really was a nice experience with everyone. I was very happy!

Any tips to take anything with me. I am there April 12

Take Gas X strips (those helped me a lot) and a hot pad. I didn't have a hot pad but boy did I want it. Also, a small washcloth (they only had towels at the hospital).

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
