My 2 daughters and my sister got lap band in the same day. ITS GREAT!!



Recommended Posts

Went to Monterrey Mexico. Dr. Arturo Rodriguez. $7900.00 per person TOTAL. They pick you up from the airport, take you to a very nice Courtyard Marriot, call you to make sure that you got settled in and discuss the procedure with you. The next morning at around 9:00 am someone from Dr. Rodriguez office will greet you in the lobby of the Hotel and from there you'll go to the clinic. Once we arrived at the VERY CLEAN clinic, One by one they went down and had the 45 minute surgery and then back to recovery for an hour. There was some pain involved with this procedure. I believe that most of the pain was from the gas that was trapped in their body from anesthia. The first night was a little uncomfortable for the girls, but not too bad. They have you up and walking very quickly. The next morning after surgery you will be discharged and the ride is there to take you back to your Hotel to rest for a few hours and then ITS OFF TO THE MALL!! A very sweet girl from the Dr's. office will again be waiting for you in the lobby to escort you to the mall. We walked around for about an hour and got the Jello, broth and apple juice that was needed for the new lap band. What a GREAT EXPERIENCE! My daughters are very happy with the results. They finally feel full after a very tiny meal. This surgery is absolutely amazing and I would recomend this procedure for anyone that has already gone through puberty. HAVE A BLESSED DAY!!

      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.

        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!
