1200 Calorie Diet- OMG! TORTURE!
lauraleigh replied to Candace2314's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
i have had the plication done in January but i had to be on a low carb/high Protein preop before hand..I thought i was going to die..the carb monster was rearing its ugly head at me constantly and i constatly had to ignore it...believe it or not the longer you go with out the junky carbs the easier it gets and pretty soon you don't want any of that junk stuff.and better yet when you start losing the weight and the inches its way easy to stop eating junk and replace it with the good stuff. -

Cell phone coverage in TJ, Mexico?
lauraleigh replied to oliviam's topic in Gastric Plication Surgery Forum
I just had plication surgery there and yes there is cell phone coverage but its very very expensive.Its cheaper to call from the phones in the room or to get the number in your room and get family to call you there -
