  6. Yes I am drinking plenty of floats just sipping all day long.... I just noticed that some of the other slavers were walking around like nothing had been done to them and I cannot understand why was in so much pain. I've been wearing very loose clothing so it's not related to my clothes that yeah it's that one incision that's just kind a red around it Sent from my iPhone using VST

  10. Ps: next morning I saw same nurse took shower there at clinic n changed clothes. So....this same nurse was there for at least 48 hrs n went to bed with patients who had just been cut open depending on her. She was the only inurse at nite Sent from my iPhone using VST
  11. Well I did it. Had band revision to sleeve on tues. was given zero pain meds to leave with. Ortiz sed he had to fix hiatal hernia I had b4 he cud proceed. I have been in excruciating pain ever since. Plus. The nurses spoke zero English n I woke up in the nite one nite hurting n scared and found the nurse in a bed in one of the empty rooms. This seems shady to me Went back in crying n asked for pain meds. Got an anti inflammatory pill. One!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST
  12. I'd love to hear from anyone who used dr Ortiz in Tijuana. How was ur experience?
  13. Thanks for the info. Yes had thyroid checked. Just keep gaining every year. Band didn't work so revision to sleeve. Can lose it but comes right back. Thanx guys
  14. Scheduled for surgery tomorrow with Dr. Ortiz and Tijuana what scares me is that my BMI is only 3029 or 30 and I'm 5 foot seven 170 pounds. I'm afraid that I will lose too much weight and die. Please anyone who's had a low BMI have the band removed or had the vertical sleeve let me know your story in your outcome thank you so much
