Need your help

I've decided instead of waiting almost 8 months and fighting with the insurance company I'm going to go to Mexico for my lap band. They can do it as early as this month. What I was wondering is I've narrowed it down to 2 doctors, Dr. Sanchez and Dr. Ortiz, do you all have any opinions either way on either one or heard anything or know of anything I should know in making my final decision. Again, Thank you for all of your help. I would have never have gotten this far with a decision without everyone's help.

Thank you all very much,

I was not banded in Mexico but many here were. Do a search for those MDs and you'll find lots of information.

Hi,

I had mine done by Dr Sanchez and I just loved him. The hospital was so great and the guest house is very nice...boring..but nice. ALso there is a DR that lives in the guesthouse..so I felt good knowing if problems came up..he was there. Mario the driver took us to a flea market and then to the mall....Ill put my 2 cents in for him.

Good luck

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
