Dr. Ortiz just banded me 4 days ago and I feel great. I am so glad I chose him as my surgeon. The whole experience was great. Even my skeptical husband was very impressed. I am a nurse, so believe me I was checking everything out! Everyone speaks good english too. Dr. Ortiz doesn't really even have a spanish accent!! I would highly recommend going to Mexico. He also has a book on Amazon.com call Lap-Band for Life. Reading that gives you a little insight on the whole experience. Hope this helps.:)

Hehehe, I pointed that out to him too :success1: He said he can have one when he needs to and proceeded to show me he was right!

Great staff, great place.

      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.
