I don't think anything is wrong with you I too have had the same thoughts as long as your not actually going up to them then I completely understand where you are coming from. This has been such a great gift to me that I just want to share it with everyone but I don't for the same reasons everyone has already mentioned. In fact the only person I have actually "shared" the secret with is my cousin (mist of my familly knows i had some kind if wls but that's about it no real details) this Easter weekend when SHE asked me about my resent weight loss and wanted to know how I was doing it. So I told her about the surgery and the cost and having to go to Mexico to get it done to save on the cost. I then simply mention to her "you know if ever you are interested or have any question feel free to ask me ill be happy to point you in the right track" her response was " I have been interested in getting the lapband but I don't think my insurance will cover it" so I explained to her that a lot of insurances are covering it including medical that brought a big smile to her with a really? After that I had to talk to her about the cons about lap band and the few pros. What I'm trying to say is even thought I wish I could share our secret with everyone, unless they ask first I'm not going to go up to them and be rude and I'm sure the OP is not going to be going up to people either Sent from my iPhone using VST

I had Dr Elias Ortiz, Dr Lopez trained Dr Ortiz I think that alone says alot about Dr Lopez, he has plenty of experience I was originally scheduled with Dr Lopez but I had to change my date and when I was available Dr lopez was not TJ

glad to help, maybe one of the mods can make this pic a sticky here so that everyone can take a copy with them even if their not going to Mi Doctor Hospital, Im sure it will come in handy that one time that one of the nurses doesnt speak english

This the only translation sheet I have it's the one they have at mi doctor hospital on top of their safe sorry for the bad pic but its laminated and if I took of the flash it was too dark. Maybe some one can copy it onto word format so it's available to print out easier Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hey I just had my surgery with Dr Elias Ortiz thru alighterme.com Janese was my coordinator I really recommend them they have a great rappor with the hospital that we didn't even have to wait to get rooms like some of the other patients that were already their waiting when we got their. I got in on a special for 4500 and that included everything except my travel to San Diego where they pick you up, Also I didn't have time to get a passport or lets say I didn't want to wait to get a passport so I and my wife just went down their with our CA ID and birth cert. and we were ok getting back into the USA to get into TJ they don't ask for anything Also if your a lower bmi u might be able to just do 1 week of pre diet and 3 days of liquids you can call Janese up directly at (714) 516-8193 or visit the website let her know Allen sent you she will take real good care of u If you want to read my whole review just clink on my profile and it will come up Sent from my iPhone using VST

Well I guess I must have a bigger/longer sleeve I finally felt the fullness every one talks about but I had 1.5 hard boiled eggs, no worries I didn't keep going till I was going to burst I stopes when I felt satisfied witch was 1.5 eggs Reason before I would eat 1 egg and wait to see if I was satisfied was that's what the doctor told me to do to wait and see if my brain process it to let me know I'm satisfied, also I think maybe the apple sauce would make it way to mushee and would instead make my food drop past my "sleeve" maybe that's way I wouldn't get the "full" feeling Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm hopping that the same happens to me. I'm just like pepper Paul because I was sleeved on the 11th also and can eat more then 4 ounces and still not be full, I had a full hard boiled egg and never felt the fullness everyone says they feel so I waited 30 mins and then had 4 more ounces of apple sauce Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thanks for asking this question, I'm exactly the same I haven't gotten the full feeling and I'm also on the puréed stage Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hey just wanted to let everyone know that if you don't like your powder Walmart, costco, and SAMs club all will refund you back your money if you don't like it. I know because I've done it I simply told them I didn't like the taste that too me it tasted nothing like it said ( not a lie too me it tasted horrible) and they gave me back my money. Now I recently i went to a vitashop and I asked the guy if I could return it if I didn't like it and he said no, BUT I could try a free sample b4 I purchased, I ended up going with my second choice Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hey I'm sure I'm not the only person that would like to here how things went please post up a review Sent from my iPhone using VST

You might be eating too fast, I was having a Protein shake last weekend and I guess I dranked it to fast because I felt dizzy and got the chills but after an hour my symptoms where gone Sent from my iPhone using VST

Here's what I found as the symptoms from another site Symptoms of stomach leak include: rapid heart rate, dizziness, shortness of breath, fever, worsening abdominal pain, left chest or shoulder pain, abdominal distention, the appearance of illness and a general feeling that something is very wrong. Unfortunately, many of the symptoms may be absent or could be from something else (e.g. bleeding). Diagnosing a leak is further complicated by the fact that there is no single, reliable test to definitely diagnose a leak. Hope that helps, and hope you just asking out of curiosity and not because you might have one Sent from my iPhone using VST

You are correct my mistake Dr Illan does work out of a full hospital and he trained under Dr Kelly witch I have only read good things about, guess I was typing on cruise control lol, I'll fix my comment, I don't want people to think he works out of a clinic Thanks for the heads up Sent from my iPhone using VST
