Just returned from Mexico

Hi all, I just got home form Mexico today. I had Lap Band surgery with Dr. Ariel Ortiz on tuesday. It was an absolutely awesome experience. All my pre-op fears were completely unnecessary, Dr. Ortiz, Dr. Martinez and the rest of the staff are outstanding. I am 2 days out and feel so good I may even go to work tomorrow. Anyway, I would recommend Dr. Ortiz to anyone considering surgery in TJ.

AC, Congratulations!!! I have had my band for 10 months now and am very happy with the results. You probably are in the adjusting stage and the liquid diet is no fun but it's just a few weeks and it is well worth it! Good luck on your journey! Sandy lap band-dr aceves

Thanks Sandy, The liquid diet was hard for the first two days but I am starting to get into to groove. It is definetly easier to be at work or just out running around doing stuff than to be home watching tv and trying to do the liquids. I am realizing how much I must have ate out of boredom or just mindlessness! Scary really. I was also feeling hungry for the first couple of days but I think I have tightened up a little and the gas has dissipated for the most part so I am really feeling pretty good. Just can't wait to start atkins and working out again! Woohoo!

Hi and congrats !!! I was wondering if you know any information about Dr A? When I look on this board I can't seem to find where he went to school, I guess just his whole profile I am interested in. I might be looking in the wrong place but if you could give me some help I'd sure appreciate it. Thanks and enjoy your new life. Robbin
