  15. 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

  17. 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
  18. 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
  19. I'm scheduled for surgery tomorrow at Dr. Ortiz in Tijuana my BMI is only 29 on 57 170 pounds. I am so terrified that was such a low BMI that I will lose too much weight and maybe die of starvation. Please if you are low BMI sleeve patient let me know how your surgery went and if you were able to maintain a healthy weight thank you so much
  20. I am scheduled for surgery on Tuesday. I'm having it done in Tijuana with Dr. Ortiz I am very nervous because I am 5'7" tall I weigh 170 pounds and my BMI is only 29. Most of my extra weight is all around my middle. I'm terrified of losing too much weight and dying I don't want to get too skinny. Is there anyone who's had the surgery with the seminar BMI as me? If so please let me know what happened with you and your situation. Thanks everyone
  21. I'm scheduled for the sleeve on April 10th. My bmi is only 28 but I'm approved in Mexico because I got the band there, which is not working n makes it very painful to eat. My fear is that because my BMI is so low that I will lose too much weight and become frail and sickly. Is there anyone out there whose BMI was similar to mine they can give me your results and how you doing? I'm having my surgery done at the obesity control center in Mexico the same place the lap band was placed. I spoke with one of the surgeons today who informed me that the only reason with my low. BMI that I am a candidate for the sleeve is because I have the band and it's not working. Again I am just afraid of losing too much weight and becoming sick does anyone have a similar experience?

Is there anyone out there whose BMI was similar to mine they can give me your results and how you doing? I too often have a feeling of sadness over not being able to eat like a horse. As I am an emotional eater and food makes me feel better. Are any of you doing your surgeries in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz?
