Hi Tagyurit, I just got back home an hour ago. Yeah, the surgery was great. I actually fell asleep after I got my IV's and took the little ativan tablet. The tablet sent me under and I never knew I had the surgery until I awoke from this "little nap." How weird, wonderful was that! They just dragged this 200+ pound body onto the operation table and away they went. I met "undecided" there and some new friends. Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you that I'm a trader. While in the waiting room I converted to Plication instead of lap-band. I'm not having any more children and I don't want the fills that take months to become effective. Dr. Ortiz said 30% of the patients change their mind once they get to TJ. TJ was safe, went shopping, drank broth. Yeah Dr. Ortiz, Pharmer

Me too me too!! I'm so excited to find you all. I'm LDS and getting banded in TJ with Dr. Ortiz on 1/25/11. Kim--maybe we'll run into each other! Are you from Utah? I'm scared about the Mexico thing too. How did you decide on Dr. Ortiz. I hope we can all stay in touch! Hi cantdecide, It's so good to hear from you. Yes, we will be in TJ together. My surgery is 1/24/11 and I will stay overnight. contact me at happybirthday@comcast.net . I would love to hear from you.

Hi Lavender and tagyourit, Im Kim and am LDS~love that part. I will be banded 1/24/11 in TJ Mex with Dr Ortiz ~hate the TJ part. Will I get murdered in TJ? Probably not, but.............. I wish my insurance will pay for part of the band at least. Any pointers?

I am planning to visit Dr Ortiz in January 2011. Have you heard anything negative other than the routine avoid Mexico? I am pretty impressed with what I hear.
