I haven't seen him yet. We're still waiting for the fluoroscope to be repaired. He needs it to look at my throat. Barbara now has me set up for the July fill trip. Hopefully, it'll be fixed by then. Meanwhile, I've lost 57 pounds. That's a half pound short of halfway there for me.

Actually, I'm being too hard on myself. There are a number of reasons for motility, and I have been relatively careful about the amount of food I eat.

The surgeon still hasn't seen me, but he believes this is a form of esophageal motility disorder caused by irritation from over-flilling the pouch (eating too much for a bandster). I think it may have occurred when I was still learning portioning.

Just to keep you all informed, I didn't go to see the doctor for my fill because his fluoroscope broke. We'll be rescheduling. My family doctor didn't know much about it. I'm anxious, though. Half the time, it feels like someone has their finger on my Adam's apple.

Gina, Are you experiencing it, too?

We'll be there again Thursday, June 7. :clap2:

I'm still having the problem. I'll be going to my family doctor next week for other things and will ask him about it. But he doesn't do banding, and he may not know anything about it. However, I'm going to my surgeon for a fill next weekend. I'll let you know what he says when I get back.

Yes, but do they do fills for people banded in Mexico? Do the use fluoro? Do they do the standing method? So many questions!

Right on! For $130, you can get chauffer driven to the appointment by someone who is extremely knowledgeable of banding, join with other bandsters and get some shopping done, not to mention the best fill around, with fluoro and using the standing method. I wish I lived in S.A.!

Ha! That still sounds like you're talking about your parents. I understand, though. I sure would like it if you could come, though. Maybe in June, you could tell her you're doing homework with a friend.

Don't forget. It's tomorrow!

I think I'll be bringing the hippie bus, Furthermore, to this month's meeting. We'll give a tour. The meeting will be tomorrow, Thursday, May 3, from 6:30 to 8:30 p.m., at Jason's Deli. That's in the shopping center on the northeast corner of Loop 288 and I-35e, across from the mall, to the left of Burger King. The address is 2219 S. Loop 288, Denton, TX. Google it. Hope to see you there.
