trying to show my weight on ticker........help??

checking ticker

well i got my second fill last thursday...under fluro, this time way too tight. after the third day of not being able to hold anything down i called the doctor (this was on a sunday) he called his nurse and they both came to the office to remove a bit of fill (about .5 of a cc) made all the difference. I lost quite a bit in those 3 days not a good way though. if anyone is interested in Costa Rica Dr. Suarez Castro is the best band Dr. here. his fees are simular to those in mexico and his after care is the best. His office calls me daily after a fill (fills are $70.00 + $50.00 for the fluro if you need it) to see how i am doing. There are other doctors here but I have seen first hand the after care or lack of i should say. If anyone would like contact numbers I will be happy to give them to you. I am so very happy to have found him. I am on my way down once again.

don't feel bad baby got back...we are the same. We started about the same time lost about the same and going to the second fill the same time. I too have been at a stand still, i can eat much more now although a lot less than before the band. I have not lost since the second week of my first fill. lost 10 pounds with the fill. I go this Friday for my second fill, this one under fluro. The doc put in 2.3 last time no fluro. Sorry i haven't written much i live in the Costa Rica jungle and my Internet (sat) goes down when we get rains, and this Si the season for it. I don't want to see you discouraged you are such an inspiration to everyone on this list me included. You have a wonderful giving way about you and I am happy you are with me in this struggle to be thin. Stay happy...and persevere... Alice

Hi could you explain a little clearer how to inset this ticker. I am prety dumb when it comes to stuff like this. thanks a buch. I have read your journal and think its fantastic, you are helping me get a grip Alice

Hi, I am from Va Bch but now reside most of the time in Costa Rica. I was banded 1/18/07 in monterry mexico. How are you doing so far? I have lost 15 lbs but now it seems slow.

:clap2: Hi all just found your site, great to be part of a group of banders. I was banded by Dr.Zapata in Monterry Mexico on January 18th 2007. So far so good. I have lost 15 lbs, probably mostly water but I'm counting!! Just wanted to say hi and kudos to all of you for taking this step to a healthier life style.
