I slept all night, in the morning the doctor took me and two more patients to do the fluoroscopy. One patient was for a fill, so we had the opportunity to see how that being done is.  We were free to go home, but I stayed one more night. I wanted to see Tijuana, went shopping with my husband, came back to my room at the Clinic, took a nap and went again for a walk and to the beautiful restaurant for dinner. I smelled the food while my husband was eating. All that in less than 24 hours from my surgery. Never though it is possible.

The clinic was very nice and clean. I felt like I am at the hotel because you are able to go out for a walk and came back whenever you feel like it and all the time there is a nurse on duty and a doctor.

Next morning after getting all the information, papers and medicine from the doctor, the driver gave us a ride back to San Diego.

What a experience! We did get phone numbers, even cell number from the  doctor, for any question we might have.

My recovery was quick. I used pain medicine only for two days. I did have gases which is normal after surgery, but did not need to call doctor for any reason. I would get tired during the day after surgery. Short nap afternoon took care of that.

I did my lap-band on March 8^th. 2012 Since then I lost 91 pounds. I do weigh myself every week and noticed that one week I will not lose any weight but next week about 5 pounds. But I do know that is normal and I just stick with my eating plan, which is easy to follow. I am not hungry or feel lack of energy. In contrary, I feel great. I am able to go up and down the stairs without pain in my legs for first time in 10 years. I did made a change in my life but it was so easy, without any extra effort. Everything came so normal, I just feel like a new person. I  do walk in the morning and afternoon and that makes me very happy. Everything I do is easier now and I am looking forward to go and do some fills in a month or two, because I do want to lose all extra weight I have been caring for over 15 years. I do realize that it is a process and it will take time but I do believe this time is going to be permanent.

I cannot thank enough to everyone at Certified Bariatric Surgeons.
