Hi!

Been read'in so many posts, I wanted to join in with you all.

It's been six weeks since I was banded with a French Mid Lap Band. My Doctor and his team came from "Getbandednow.com" in Tijuana, Mexico. They are very kind and skilled professionals, trained in France. When I researched my Doctor's credentials, my mind was set at ease. I'm recommending them to do Lap Band Surgery for friends who's insurance does not cover weight loss issues.

At Sanoviv medical center, in Rosarito, they have never had a staff infection. Some felt it was a "lock down detox", high end spa, medical-alternative facility. There were patients (including Doctors and health care professionals), from many different countries. Functional medicine is practiced there. They use the holistic approach to health care.

The suite had a balcony view of the ocean, Egyptian cotton sheets, and marble tile in the bathroom. Organic cotton clothing was provided. There was a sense of peace everywhere, except the dining room. Why? People were begging the chefs for more food. They treat nutrition as medicine:hungry:. While most complained about their colorful salads, I was content to drink my organic apple juice-feeling the new sensations of my lap band.

My lap band package included medical testing, nutrition consults, psych consults, medical Dr. consults, allergy testing, lymphatic massages (sigh), all sorts of additional classes and bio energy testing stuff I did not understand. The place is amazing.

My husband even lost weight and he understands the nutrition and lifestyle changes we need to make.

I love Mexico! A few hours after surgery, I walked outside and sat in the sunshine. There was a slight breeze off the ocean. They even did foot massage that afternoon. Was fortunate to not have the shoulder pain from the surgery. I cannot believe how good I feel! Such clean small incisions!

Since I've dropped 25 pounds, am able to move without back pain, and with more agility. I feel optimistic. My stomach growls before each meal and I am hungry! Looking forward to my first fill.

Sure hope to learn lots, with all the support and candor on this board.

So did they do your surgery for free with this advertisement - or have you even been banded ??

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      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.
