themaestroswife 62 Posted January 28, 2017 Hi everyone! I'm having my lap band removed on 2/13, and for some odd reason, I'm really nervous. The surgery to put it in was the easiest surgery I've ever had, but with the removal, I'm scared to death. Has anyone else gone through the lap band removal before a VSG before? If so, please share your stories with me. My VSG surgery date is 3/16 and I'm super excited for that day and every single day afterward!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

1poundatatime 174 Posted January 29, 2017 Are you in the least worried about having surgery in Mexico? Tijuana with Dr. Ariel Ortiz I was at first. Seemed like a CRAZY idea. So, I picked one of the expensive Mexico options. The OCC hospital is accredited and everything I've found on the surgeon is positive. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
themaestroswife 62 Posted January 30, 2017 Are you in the least worried about having surgery in Mexico? Tijuana with Dr. Ariel Ortiz I was at first. Seemed like a CRAZY idea. So, I picked one of the expensive Mexico options. The OCC hospital is accredited and everything I've found on the surgeon is positive. I've heard some great things and some not so great things about it. My husband had to be hospitalized in Cancun and it was some of the finest medical care that he's ever had! I'd have no problems doing it in Mexico at all! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
