Dr. Miranda did say day 8 for creamy soups

Hi Stacy a little gassy and hungry. I will try a little melted cheese maybe some sour cream. Lost 5 since the surgery.

The experience from start to finish was as pleasant as a surgery could be. Since I am in the medical profession, I was scrutinizing the whole experience and I feel that it was as good if not superior to the US in terms of modern equipment, cleanliness, etc.

Hello everyone It is now 8 days post-op and hunger is starting to set in. Juices are just not doing it. Does anyone else have any reccomendations as to what to eat? cream soups are a little liquidy. Hpw about jello and chocalate pudding? Something salty? Is sour cream OK? Please advise

Hi Stacy this is Mitch I had the surgery the same day as you I was in the room next to you. I purchased the centrum liquid it is good. How are you feeling?

Day 1 post op. Feel pretty good besides a little gas pain. Left a day early doing good on the liquids .

Good evening everyone. Just had surgery approximately 4 hours ago. Felt a little pain but now it is just slight discomfort. Started walking. I am so impressed with not only the facility, but the staff as well. Dr. Ortiz had a little chat this morning, laughing and joking. He is a special person. All in all this was as pleasant experience as one could have for a surgical experience. Keep you up to date Mitch

they inject into the port which is brought up right below the surface of the skin. Probably hurts as much as a tb test. Not to worry just think of the new you and how much healthier and better you will feel

Thanks for the message It reduces the anxiety level just a bit

Do the best that you can. If we could control our weight we wouldn't need the surgery. So I'll see you there. Think positive

Hi March 16th for me 4 days and counting. Anybody else for that day

you're welcome > >

There is usually a endotracheal tube that is placed in your throat to access your airway to deliver anesthesia. I spoke with Dr.Ortiz and he told me that they are using a laryngeal mask now. It is easier and is used for short cases, The lap band has now become a short case(time under anesthesia). It still is a small tube but comes out immediately as you become responsive.

They do not keep a tube in your throat they use what is called a laryngeal mask. I will be there on the 15th as well in the AM don't be nervous if you wahnt you may e-mail me at any time

i am a PA and co- owner in a medical corporation. Will e-mail you from TJ
