Recommended Posts

Hey there!!

I'm also new here. My hubby is the one who getting banded. But since I have done all the research for him (because language barrier). I almost feel like I'm the one getting it. We both feel so nervous, but very exited at the same time. He is getting banded 9/25/05 with Dr. Ortiz in Cancun. Have any of you had it done with Dr. Ortiz in Cancun? or even better, any one schedualed to have it done on this date with him in Cancun too?

I had my surgery with Dr. Ortiz in TJ

I am very happy with him and his staff and his aftercare. He has been wonderful to me and my family every step of the way in the last 17 months.

Thanks for the support. We are doing our count down (-31 days). I can't wait to see him regain his health again. I'll keep doing my research on Ortiz, up to now he looks like he's the best. I hope to chat again you with.

I wish you guys the best, you deserve it!:)

      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.
