Welcome : Davethesailor and TheCascadian:clap2: and eny one that I missed
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Hows every one doing ? I'm doing good, and my cold is 99% gone. Last night I had some sharp pain in my port hole that woke me up at 1:00am. I got up and moved around a little then went back to bed, I think it was gas build up, because after a few good farts :guess it was gone and I went back to sleep..(It felt like a red hot poker) Has eny body had this happen to them? Other then that my scare are getting healed great and the belly hair is coming back nicely:rolleyes:

Hello Minimee, My name is Ted you sent me a post a week or so ago and I sent you a long mail back , but I'm thinking you did not get it , so here is a shorter one. I was banded 1/31/07 by Dr. Kuri, he was great and so was his team:clap2: . Today is 2/12/07 and my scares are 99% healed..No real pain there was a little gas pain now and then but you have to walk ASAP, and that to shall pass:guess .You and your daughter are going to the right place, and have one of the best Dr.s around..Good Luck to you both, say Hi for me:) Ted ( rsbg1 )

:phanvan hey guys, how long does port pain last. Mine just started yesterday , ( if I get up fast or sit too fast or walk too long) but not very much, but it lets me know its there sometimes. My scars are healing just great, almost no red to them, not bad for 9 days out.

WoW that was cool...

Let me tell you Jack ! you didn't miss a thing!!!! Nobody told me they were going to do that to me (and others ) during the banding.. and when I got back to my room I asked to have it removed, it seemed that the only English the nurse knew was sorry as she RIPED that thing out
:think:faint: -
I was banded last week in TJ Mexico (Wed), by Dr. Kuri $8,000 and free fills pick up and drop off at airport, Hotel for 1 to more nights ( for two) and my wife was able to stay at NO charge with me at the hospital..Oh the hospital in brand new too...I would do it all over again in a hart beat...I was thinking about 1st going to Thailand is about the same coast but thinking of that 15hr. plane ride back didn't sound fun..

JBT, Some Dr's will do the banding with out shaving, I just shaved to play it safe. One guy that had a different Dr. then me, didn't have his done and he had a lot of hair..

Hey Mike, and who ever wants to know,
I just found out how to do the ticker:clap2:...First go to tickerfactory.com and fill out the info the when your done, don't click on HTML box's just right click on the actual ticker that you did and hit copy. Go back here to LBT and go to edit signature page then right click in the message box and click post. This worked for me as you can see......:biggrin1:

Hey Terry R ,
I just had my banding last Wed. in Mexico, my wife came along with me and I thought it was very nice to have her there. We had a great time together, we went shopping and had a great Mexican dinner before the surgery..So yes, take her !! Its nice to have someone there if you can.
P.S at the hospital in TJ Mexico there was no extra charge for my wife to stay(two nights), or at the hotel they put us up at the day after surgery..

Hi Maxdog, I'm no expert, but from what my Dr. said, and what I have heard , it sounds like you do need a fill...I just got my band last Wed. and my Dr. was telling me about fills and when to get them. He said 4 to 6 weeks after banding or longer for some people, but he also said that there are times and for some people, it is closer to the 4wks because of just your prob..Good Luck , Ted

Chris NJ, Are you self pay ? I was self pay and went to Mexico where I did not have to do all that mumbo jumbo before my band. I just went a day before surgery for blood work and a check up. I think that how the Dr's here in the USA make more money.
