I had mine placed 8 weeks after having my c section. I haven't had any problems with it. It is probably the best thing I have ever done for myself. I was self pay and went to Dr Ortiz in Mexico. He is great!

Hello all... So far so good with post band surgery. Dr. Ortiz was very professional and polite. He made me feel very at ease. Now I am just doing the 21 days of liquids as he prescribed. I am not having too hard of a time. I will let you know more the closer I get to the 21st day. I am glad everyone made it through surgery. I am just counting down towards the my first fill. I am so ready for this weight to disappear. Jen

I am also getting banded on the 27th by Dr Ortiz in Mexico. I am nervous but hard charging towards my goal. I just had a baby by c section on Dec 15th 2008 via c section. I plann on eating some of my favorites before I have to start all liquids. I also plan on eating some of my favorite candy between now and then. That sounds terrible I guess...But that is my plan.
