1jmk Posted May 18, 2008 Report Share Posted May 18, 2008 Hi there, I'm looking for anyone who will be getting banded by Dr. Ortiz on June 10th/08. I'll be travelling from Canada (Calgary, Alberta) and it would be really nice to talk to other people who will also be going through the same experience. I plan on staying at the Lucerna (I've heard a lot of good things about it). Let me know how it's going for you. Signed, Excited, and everything in between! :-h - 1jmk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really concerned with getting after care in Dallas once I get home. Thanks for replying to my post! I can SO relate to what you must be going through. Up here in Calgary, Alberta (Canada), there's only four doctor's who do fills, but from what I understand -- most of the main centres have lap band clinics/doctors who know what to do if anything happens or goes wrong. I'm not sure what Dallas has to offer, but maybe there's somewhere you could go within driving distance if something happens. Maybe someone else knows of somewhere/someone you could contact before you leave so you know more for when you get back. At any rate, take care and I hope to see you down there. - Janet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denise Hi Denise, Thanks for answering my post! I'm so excited to hear you'll be going down on the 9th as well. It sounds like our flights get in about the same time. My flight gets into San Diego at about 11:50 AM (from San Francisco). I'm glad to see you're thinking about staying at the Lucerna. The swimming pool looks really nice and from the sounds of some of the reviews I read on line -- it sounds like it's a nice place to stay. I'm SO glad to hear there's someone else going to be having it done on the same day. I plan on travelling alone to Mexico, and although I'm a big girl (48 and holding), I'm still a little apprehensive about going through surgery outside my own country, alone. Are you going to be travelling alone or will you have someone with you on the 9th? Write back when you get the chance. - Janet (1jmk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm so happy to hear you'll be going through the same thing on the 10th! That's truly exciting! I wish you the very best of luck with it and I really hope it works out for you. I don't start my pre-op diet until 12 days before my surgery (I think that's about May 30th). I'm nervous about that because I know how to gain weight REALLY WELL, and I'm not so sure how to NOT gain weight and stay the same (the clinic I'm going to sent me all kinds of horror stories about the "evils" of gaining weight before starting on my pre-op diet). In the interim, I've decided to make friends with my scale (somehow) and then not look at the screen (I can be in denial) when I'm suppose to (or some such thing)!?!! lol lol Anyway, take care and I'll talk to you later. Good luck with the pre-op diet! - Janet (1jmk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1jmk Posted May 19, 2008 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I'm also from Calgary!!!!!!!!! I'm getting banded on May 29th...Ill keep you posted. Good luck!!! Hello Calgary, I'm so glad you wrote back! May 29th is just SO exciting! Are you having the surgery up here or are you planning to fly down to Mexico? Either way, I really wish you the best and hope everything goes well, wherever you go. How is your pre-op diet plan going? Are you hungry at all and if so -- what are you doing to get through it? Write back when you get the chance. Take care and I'll be thinking of you on the 29th!!!!@ - Janet (1jmk) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I started my pre-op early because I also have a real love hate relationship with the scale. I've been drinking 1 slimfast optima chocolate in the morning, one lean cuisen for lunch and another for dinner. I have completely sworn off bread. And the thing is Im not even hungry.

sphynxmomma Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 Oh yes, I'm going down to OCC to have my surgery done...I haven't been doing the diet Dr M sent through I've been following a similar one but not as strick...I'm losing weight so I figure that will suffice. I'm already down 9 lbs of the 10 I need to lose. Thanks for the well wished. Who will be doing your fills in Calgary? Heather Hello Calgary,I'm so glad you wrote back! May 29th is just SO exciting!

2BAHottie Posted May 19, 2008 Report Share Posted May 19, 2008 I'm getting banded on June 12, pre ops on the 11th. I'm excited and can't wait but I seem to be gaining weight instead of loosing it - not good since I was told not to gain any weight under any circumstance! Good luck to all of you and I will be staying at the Lucerna until June 15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
