I went to mexico and had a great time. They met my plane and took me to a very nice hotel and the next day to the hospital. The hospital was VERY nice, much nicer than the ones here. I loved Dr. Zapata and I have had no problems of any kind. No trouble finding a fill doc here either. I hope every thing goes as well for you. Donna

I am scheduled to get my lap band surgery done by Dr Huacuz on March 28, 2008. I will be going down with a small group of other people also interested. When I was doing all my research I came across a patient coordinator that made all of the arrangments for me. The cost of the airfare was included, so the total cost of my package was $7500. This was a nice option for me, because I don't want the people close to me to try to talk me out of getting the lap band, but I also thought that it wuld be great to have the support of other people in the same situation.

I would strongly recommend that you check around your area for places that do fills through fluoroscopy. We only have one place in my area that does them and they will not do them on patients that were banded in Mexico. I guess I would rather go to Mexico to have my fills done under fluoroscopy for $150 than have to have multiple fills here in the states for $300 a piece. Who knows I could grow to enjoy the mini vacations too!!:tongue2:

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
