Dr. Elias Ortiz is an excellence doctor. I underwent surgery with him on the 19th n I don't have any regrets at all. He explains everything that is needed to kno step by step. Being honest you will get better care at Mi hospital in TJ than most hospitals in the US.

I also had Dr Lopez and Dr Ortiz. Both were very good doctors and very professional. I meet both the day of surgery and they explained exactly what would happen. I felt like my care with them and Mi hospital was better than I can ever have in the States. Please don't worry! You will be in very good hands. :)

With my lapband the anaesthetist screwed up and I woke up on the operating table as they were finishing up. So painful! and I keep having dreams about it with my revision surgery in 3 weeks! So did you with Lopez wake up in a normal bed a few hours later? haha x

I woke up in recovery and then was moved to my room. It really was a nice experience with everyone. I was very happy!

Any tips to take anything with me. I am there April 12

Take Gas X strips (those helped me a lot) and a hot pad. I didn't have a hot pad but boy did I want it. Also, a small washcloth (they only had towels at the hospital).

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

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
