  1. ONE DAY I'LL GET A FILL WITH DR CURRY. HE'S TAKEN TIME TO ANSWER QUESTIONS ON ANOTHER BOARD FOR A FEW YEARS NOW. I KNOW HE'S IN OHIO BUT NOT SURE WHERE http://www.thebanddoctor.com/default
  2. JMO: I THINK ONCE YOU HIT A BMI AROUND 26 OR SO, IT'S HARDER FOR ANYONE
  3. HI MINNIE AND WELCOME YOU'LL HAVE TO TRY AND MAKE ONE OF OUR WASHINGTON GET TOGETHERS GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR UP COMING SURGERY
  4. I HAVE TO AGREE. ASK MY FRIEND THAT LOST HER BAND LAST MONTH. SHE WANTED THAT BAND TIGHT, SHE GOT IT WITH ONE FILL. ROME WASN'T BUILT IN A DAY, IT TAKES TIME TO FIND THE RIGHT SPOT. THERE ARE DAYS WHEN I THINK WELL MAYBE JUST A SLIGHT MORE, MAYBE, NO!!! I WANT TO EAT LIKE A NORMAL PERSON. NOT DRINK PROTEIN SHAKES AND PB MY WAY THROUGH THIS LIFE AND RISK LOSING THIS TOOL I'M IN THIS FOR THE LONG HAUL
  5. THE DAY AFTER SURGERY SANDY AND I HIT THE BAR FOR A FEW DRINKIES, CLEAR LIQUIDS . I'VE HAD FILLS WITH AND WITHOUT BEING NUMB, NOT SURE WHICH I LIKE BETTER.
  6. THERE WAS A GENTLEMAN "WE" TALKED WITH THAT LIVES AT THE HOTEL FOR WORK. HE SAID DRINK ONLY THE BOTTLED WATER AS THE TAP WATER WILL MORE THEN KEEP YOU REGULAR. I BOUGHT SEVERAL BOTTLES OF WATER AT THE AIRPORT ONCE WE LANDED. I USED THE BOTTLED WATER AT THE HOTEL TO BRUSH MY TEETH WITH. WHEN IT SAYS BOTTLE IN MEXICO, THAT WAS ENOUGH FOR ME TO STAY AWAY LOL THE BOTTLED WATER AT THE OCC WAS COSTCO WATER, BOTTLED IN THE US GOOD LUCK AND CONGRATULATIONS
  7. I'M WITH YOU RACHELLE, MY PORT WAS SORE FOR SEVERAL MONTHS, THEN JUST TENDER FOR ABOUT 8 MONTH.
  8. JUST AIRFARE AND MAYBE A MEAL. THEY HAVE PEOPLE THAT WILL PICK YOU UP AT THE AIRPORT AND GET YOU BACK IN TIME FOR YOUR FLIGHT HOME. I TOOK MONEY ALONG FOR TIPPING. IF YOU HAVE A FRIEND/HUBBY COME, THEY JUST STAY IN YOUR HOTEL ROOM THE WHOLE TIME. EVEN THE NIGHT YOU STAY OVER AT THE OCC AFTER SURGERY
  9. AT FIRST STRESS DID ME IN ALSO. IT'S ALOT BETTER NOW. SOMETIMES JUST A DRINKIE DRINK OR WINE CAN HELP ME RELAX JUST ENOUGH
  10. WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN FILLS IN THE STATES AND TJ? I'VE SEEN NONE MYSELF BE CAREFUL KELLY, THE GAL THAT WAS BANDED WITH ME LOST HER BAND, SLIPPED, LAST MONTH FROM BEING TO TIGHT. HER FIRST FILL BEING IN TJ WAS TO MUCH AND SHE TRIED TO LIVE WITH IT LIKE THAT, NOT GOOD
  11. IF THINGS ARE COMING UP, GO BACK ON LIQUIDS, YOU NEED TO LET YOUR ESOPHAGUS HEAL
  12. THAT'S AWESOME!!! I WISH MY INSURANCE COVERED LAPBAND
  13. HI BECKI, I'D BE UP FOR IT BUT I WON'T BE AROUND TILL AROUND THE END OF THE MONTH. FROM THEN ON I'M PRETTY CLEAR
  14. HANG IN THERE JUDY JUST FIGURE OUT A WAY TO SAVE MAYBE A FEW DOLLARS HERE AND THERE, STASH IT AWAY TILL YOU'VE GOT ENOUGH TOGETHER WE'RE ALL IN THIS FOR THE LONG HAUL NOW
  15. ADD MORE PROTEIN TO YOUR DIET TO TRY AND GET YOUR ENERGY LEVEL BACK UP. KEEP A LIGHT EXERCISE PROGRAM GOING AND DRINK LOTS OF WATER MAKE A FILL APPOINTMENT NOW SO ONCE YOU HIT YOUR 6 WEEKS YOU'LL GET RIGHT IN
  16. JANA, CONTACT DR ORTIZ OFFICE, YOU WON'T BE UNHAPPY. AND YES, HE DOES DO A PRE OP WORK UP PS A FRIEND HAD GONE A FEW YEARS BACK TO DR KURI. ALL THOUGH SHE LIKED HIS OFFICE AND HAD A GOOD EXPERINCE, SHE SAID HIS FILLS LOOK AND FEEL MORE LIKE "CATTLE CALLS"
  17. PB MEANS PRODUCTIVE BURP, ALONG THE LINES OF THROWING UP BUT IT'S REALLY NOT THROWING UP. FOOD NEVER MAKES IT FAR ENOUGH DOWN TO BE CALLED THROWING UP. SOMEONE ELSE MIGHT EXPLAIN IT BETTER FOR YOU IT'S HARD TO FINALLY TAKE THAT LAST STEP, CALLING AND CONFIRMING A DATE BUT IT'S ONE OF THE BEST THINGS I'VE EVER DONE GOING TO THE OCC WAS ANOTHER.
  18. I'VE ONLY KNOWN ONE PERSON PERSONALLY THAT BECAME PREGORS AFTER HAVING THE BAND. SHE GOT AN UNFILL AND EVERYTHING WAS FINE. ONCE SHE DELIVERED AND STOPPED BREAST FEEDING SHE STARTED GETTING FILLS AGAIN. GOOD LUCK TO YOUR FRIEND ON HER DECISION MAKING
  19. HAVING THE BAND "INSTALLED" WAS MY FIRST TIME IN A HOSPITAL TYPE SETTING ALSO I'M ALSO 47, A VERY YOUNG 47 LOL I'M TRYING TO GET EVERYTHING I WANT DONE BEFORE I TURN 50. ONCE THAT BAND WAS IN, I'VE GOT A WHOLE NEW OUTLOOK ON LIFE KEEP US POSTED ON HOW YOUR DOING AND NO MORE WHINING ABOUT THAT BEAUTIFUL ISLAND YOU LIVE ON
  20. WHO DID YOU END UP GOING TO FOR YOUR FILL?
