  2. Thank you so much for all the info. I am going to get the stuff you suggested. I do feel so alone and like nobody understands so it was nice to hear I am not the only one going through this.

  6. Thank you for telling me the dialation worked. It has given me great hope. I am having it done tomorrow,
  7. I I had gastric sleeve 3 months ago and not been able to tolerate foods and barely able to keep liquids down. I have been hospitalized for 6 days due to dehydration. I now found out I have a stricture and they are going to try and fix it with a endoscopic but she said mine is large and will probably require a switch to a gastric bypass. Has anyone had this happen?
  8. I am 3 months post op and have a stricture and am super scared. I am going in to have the balloon dilation tomorrow. It sounds like you had it done. Is it a serious procedure and how will I feel after. Did they tell you it might not work and you would have to have a gastric bypass?
  9. Well I changed my date and am having it on sept 29. I am leaving in a few hours to go to the Marriott and have surgery tomorrow. When are you coming in?
  10. I am going to have gastric plictation on Oct 6th in Tijuana with Dr Ortiz. Anybody else scheduled for that day or close to it??
  11. Thanks for taking the time to reply. I am going to send in my deposit today. One more question. I have surgery Tues and will spend night in hospital and wed at hotel. Will I be well enough to travel a 3 1/2 hour drive on Thurs? I will set up my account later so we can stay in touch

  13. I am scheduled to have gastric plictation with Dr Ortiz 3 weeks from now in Tijuana Mexico.I was going to do the lap band but they said most lap banders are coming back to get this done. I should skip lap band and do plictation instead. It just scares me a bit more Please REACH OUT IF YOU HAVE DONE THE PLICTATION? WENT TO TIJUIANA? AND CAN GIVE ME SOME ADVICE. ​ ​
