I was banded on June 5 in Tijuana,Mexico by Dr. Ariel Ortiz.Wow, what a wonderful experience. Everyone there was more than helpful on my 3000 mile journey,what a long plane ride. I just cant wait until I can have something of substance instead of protein water.My port site is still sore,but no gas,thank goodness.:smile2:

Congratulations!!! I'm so glad you had such a good experience. How are you feeling? I hope you're recovery is going well. I live in Richmond and will be seeing Dr. Brengman with Richmond Surgical Group. I've read some very good testimonials here about Dr. Ortiz though.

I'm glad to hear you're doing well. I keep reading about people having lingering pain at the port site, so at least that sounds pretty normal. Hopefully, it means it's anchored well. It's nice to get another good reference for Dr. Brengman. Thanks!
