Hi I was wondering if you went through a coordinator? Or just them? Also how much was it with him? Did you find anything wrong when you went with Bajanor?

I'm also on the 23rd, Providence Saint Joseph Medical Center in Bubank, I was originally scheduled for the 29th but the surgeons office called yesterday and r/s I guess this is a food thing... I started my pre-op liquid diet today and it wasn't as bad as I expected. What's yours like? And how's that going?

The good thing I think is that we won't be home around all the leftovers to tempt us right??

I'm excited and nervous and I don't know what else

Hi StillNoRegrets83. I used a coordinator that lives here in Louisiana named Dedria. She is a past patient of his and her friend Lana (who is also from louisiana and a past patient) owns and operates the Grace Guest Recovery house where I will stay after discharge. I have several personal friends who have gone with her to have their surgery and have all had great reviews and no complications that I know of. The price is 6900 and that is at INT hospital with Dr. Ponce and staying at the Grace Recovery House. My only other expense is my flight and some cash to tip drivers and buy meds (about 30 bucks) and shopping money. :)

Bajanor... well I had my lapband placed there in 2006... so over 6 years ago. I cant necessarilly say anything "bad" about the hospital or the care I received but I will say that I was uneasy and uncomfortable and would not go there again, especially for the sleeve. The clinic type hospital was dated and just "okay" then and i recently browsed the site and it has the same photos basically as it did back then. I did not have a bad experience and I dont think my problems with lapband were due to them... just general lapband hell complications.

Let me know if I can help further. I will post details on my surgery.

Michi my pre op starts tomorrow, Friday. Its basically all liquid diet. No sugar or caffiene. Lots of yogurt, Protein Shakes, creamy Soups, sugar free pudding, sugar free Jello, sugar free popsicles. AND LOTS AND LOTS OF WATER! Im not really looking forward to it... especially since I will be cooking Thanksgiving dinner for my family the day before my surgery. Seems kinda cruel huh? LOL :) GOOD LUCK AND KEEP ME POSTED ON YOUR SURGERY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank you very much for the information Charissa. I too had a band. Mine was put in 2 years ago, and taken out a year later. I had mine done in Mexico, and would love to go back to that doctor, but my experience with the facilitator was well horrible lol. I would love to go back to that doctor, but I do not know who facilitates to him. Anyhow, thanks for the information. I am not sure of facilitators, I am just not finding many online. So thanks for the info you gave

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
