Home and banded!

Well, I'm back in the states and banded. I had my surgery 2 days ago(8/19) with Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana. There were 5 of us that day, although one lady was actually getting a hernia fixed and a new band placed. Everyone was extremely nice and professional and although there was a small language barrier with a few nurses, everything went wonderfully. I can't say enough about Dr.Ortiz and the others. I have never been given a Dr.'s home and cell phone number with adamant directions to call if anything bothered me or seemed wrong. I work in health care here in the states and I have to say that they exceeded my expectations. Now if only my pain would go away! It's not too bad, just limiting, and I can't wait to become healed so I can really start working this band!:Bunny:Bunny:Bunny Ness

Hello,

I'm 12 days post-op and believe me, it gets better everyday. I have very little pain anymore, just with certain movements. So, rest and take care.
