    Hey guys, my sister is freaking out :cursing: about going with me in November to Tijuana. I am scheduled in Nov with Dr. Ortiz and she having people scaring her about going to Tijuana. Please help me out with your experiences~ Carrie~

    Thank everyone for all the informatoin, good and bad. I think alot of peoples concern is the aftercare. I have found a Doctor that was actually proctored by Dr. Ortiz for my Aftercare doctor and her office seems wonderful ~ She highly recommends Dr. Ortiz if you are going to go to Mexico. I will pass the information on to my sister...Again thanks ~

    I am getting banded in November and I think I have told everyone that I know. I am sooooo excited. It is your choice and it depends if you think they will be supportive.

    Hi, I am getting banded in November and was wondering how much time I should take off from work. I know everyones body is different, but I was hoping you guys could give me advise.:smile2:

    Thanks for the advice. I have been told by a doctor that if I have the surgery on Friday. I could return to work on monday, but not so sure about that. I am an office administrator (very demanding and stressfull). I have 14 steps to climb several times a day due to my office being up stairs. This will help me make my decision.

    I am going to get banded in November but not sure which doctor to use. I have been doing alot of research on Ortiz, but have a friend that has used Joya. She says he is great and was banded almost one year ago. The more I read, talk to people, etc...I am leaning more and more on Ortiz....

    Wow finally someone who has used Dr. Joya. I have been trying to find someone for 3 days. I am planning on going in November to be banded, I might even have to go by myself and I am very SCARED! Please tell me everthing about your expierence with Dr. Joya, My mom is not to big on the Idea and I would love to be able to tell her. Also were you ok to drive back home? I would have a 2 hours trip home?:tt2:

    I would love feed back good or bad on Dr. Joya. I am wanting to get banded but want to research first. Any information from previous Banders that have used him would be GREAT ~ Thanks! Carrie
