I had a friend whose band sliped and the dr did a total unfil for 6 weeks and it fixed itself. Not that that is the answer but it is good you are still getting food down. Let us know what dr says

I will say that I had comfort knowing the united states was only 10 minutes away too. The OCC itself was beautiful and CLEAN! The violence in TJ is really the only detractor. I would do it again in a heart beat

also remember salt makes you retain water too. very normal to flucuate 2 to 5 lbs in a day and if you ate alot of salt it takes a couple of days to get rid of it.

Dr Q is awesome and he is really there. I had a sucessful surgery there last July and will be going back for my lower body lift. They were so helpful and wonderful down there

Just so you know it it is deductible only in the year you pay for it. If you paid with a credit card in 2009 it is deducible in 2009 but if you make payments (only the amount paid in that yr are deducible) you can continue to deduct in the yrs that you continue to pay for it. Hope this makes sense but I have alot of people come in and tell me the have $1200 i medical but only have paid $800 still owe $400 then only the $800 is deductible for that yr. If you paid with other source like Credit card and Dr was paid it is all deductible. Hope that helps...

Woo Hoo Shelby! I am so proud of you! Im running a 10K in april and it kind of scares me as all I have run is a 5K (and thats double) But I will finish it even if I have to walk some! ran 4 miles yesterday and my hips feel it today. You are such an inspiration! Keep up the hard work. I too am almost in the 130's sooooo excited!

Oh I am so excited for you! Dont worry about restriction for now, just enjoy being pregnant!!! WOO HOO!!!

Donna, That is funny you said that about planes because I flew to Hawaii and could not eat that whole week. I do not have a tight fill , so that was a rough week. The band is so funny but I will say hot drinks in the morning help with morning tightness. I do not always have it but when i do it seems to help. the Band must be a woman (he he) Cant make up her mind.

Well here is my two cents lol... I would get it done before the trip. I was back to normal 3 weeks after surgery (no more gas) I would not get a fill until after the trip so she can still enjoy all the great foods and such. This is about health, not just weight loss and my only wish was to have done it sooner. I could eat all I wanted even after my first fill. I would have done great on a vacation. 1 for the wife, he he

Cosmed will have a new building soon, with a recovery room to stay in. I used Dr Q because Dr Ortiz told me he was who he suggested. I want a person who has practiced for many years. Dr Q has practiced for over 20 yrs. I know Denise used Dr Campos and was very happy. I am sure both are great... I am waiting for new building to do the extended TT but I will be back to dr Q for sure. He was amazing with very little pain. He called me everyday for the first 3 days then 1 time a week after that for the next two weeks. He answered my emails.

Yeah That last 10 is whats killing me too. I am working out 4 times a week but a size 10 is pretty awesome and we just have to remember that. Happy Holidays to you too!

I Think it depends on your skin. I have a lot of skin hanging but with cloths I am very happy. Well worth it. I plan on a lower body lift when I get the funds. You may never look the way you want but i know how much happier and healthier I feel

I too had a Breast lift and aug with Cosmed, Dr Q is awesome!

call doc. If you cant get water down its serious! If you can do liquids I would for 72 hrs. Ugh very scary!
