Hey there!! I had my surgery in Tijuana w/ Dr. Gabriel Gutierrez. I have been extremely happy with him and his staff. My mother had LB with him as well about 5 years ago and she has referred about 6 others, whom have all been successful! I have heard of Dr. Rodriguez and nothing has come back negative. Definitely check into it! Once you make the decision to be banded, your life will change forever!!! GOOD LUCK! :tt1:

Hi,

I had my surgery done in August at the Obesity Control Center in Tiajuana, Mx with Dr. Ariel Ortiz. It was an amazing experience and Dr. Ortiz is a pioneer in the field of lapband surgery. He teaches doctors in the US how to do it and has performed thousands of lapband surgeries. I go back for fills too because they do them under flouroscopy. Also, if you want more info on Dr. Ortiz, he wrote a book "Lapband for Life" that I got for about $10 on Amazon. Good Luck!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
