Hey Guys: Well, I did it. I am now a bandster. I went to Tijuana last Friday and had my surgery. I also had my gallbladder taken out at the same time. Dr. Ortiz is GREAT and not bad on the eyes either. The whole experience was really good. I was a little scared at first because Tijuana is so different from my beautiful state of Georgia. But once I met Dr. Ortiz and his staff, all of my worries disappeared. They took really good care of me. And Mrs. Ortiz, what an angel. She's the best. Anyone who is thinking of having this surgery should contact Dr. Ortiz. I had looked into having my fills done here in Atlanta but they are tooooooo expensive. I am going to fly back to Dr. Ortiz in about 6-8 weeks for my fill. This first week has been really hard but I am feeling much better now. I am drinking chicken broth, gatorade and slim fasts. I even made some soupy instant potatoes and thought I had died and went to heaven lastnight. The worst part of this whole experience for me has been the "GAS":eek:
