I'm scheduled for lap band surgery on April 14 with Dr. Aceves in Mexicali. I'm really getting nervous and I'm concerned about "what if I have problems after surgery"? What were your thoughts about aftercare and problems when having surgery in Mexico?

Follow up care is just as important as the actual banding! Like others have said... get set up with a local dr now, and then RELAX!

Congrats on your upcoming surgery!

Make sure you have arrangements with a local doctor to do your fills before you do the surgery. I know of too many people who have gotten in a complicated situation because they did not.

I am considering having the lapband done - but my insurance will only cover network area doctor who is located in Lubbuck Texas - does anyone have any information or insight on the the doctors in Lubbock. I was told that if I requested an out-area network doctor - it would be diened. Need some help - I have read some neg things regarding the doctor in Lubbock - but when I met him a couple of months ago - I thought he was personable. I was given a pre-op list that contain about twenty different tests on - I completed about half. I PCP thought that he was being over cautious in regards to all the testing - since she had to write out the referals. Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide.

      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.
