lapband done in Tijuana on Dec 22 :)



Recommended Posts

I just wanted to let you guys know I went to the OCC in Tijuana and had my band placed on Dec 22. I am now back home (long day of travelling wow) and feel way better than I thought. Dr.Martinez did mine (works with Dr.Ortiz). Everything went perfectly. Very clean. Staff very good. I have no regrets whats so ever. I have a fill doctor set up for her - but plan to go back to TJ early feb for my first fill because my friend and I had so much fun there :thumbup:

Congratulations on getting your surgery and back home for Christmas. Why did you choose lapband over bypass? I'm trying to make that decision now.I'm tyring to get points of view.l

:tongue2: I chose lapband because my bmi was 32.77 and I liked that I can have the band taken out at any time if I have problems :blush:

I just read your post, congradulations! I have a referral to have the procedure done in Red Deer, Alberta. If they do not take me on this year (the wait list appears to very long), I am going to Tijuana. I am excited and look forward to changing my life. Where are you from in Canada? Who is doing your fills? I think I would even travel back to Tijuana for all my fills if I needed too.

      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.

      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!
