I found Dr Simpson's website but not the Restriction link...I think you have a typo...can you repost?

Hoow is your "constant nerve shoulder pain" related to the lap band? Did something happen during surgery?

Typical Healthcare in America.

Hmmm...I wish I knew if mine was going to be micro surgery...I will have to ask!!!!

Thanks for the info!

Hey...I'm an RN, too and use to work Oncology...lots of Port-a-caths...maybe we can do our own fills!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks! That info will be very helpful for me when the time comes.

I'm so glad I found this post! I am having my surgery in Mexico and was wondering about the aftercare!

I haven't told too many people, either. I just told my 28 yr old daughter today and she was fine with it until I mentioned I was going to Mexico to have it done. Then, she freaked. I assured her it was not going to be out of the surgeon's garage!! Well...now everyone that knows me through her will know...she has a big mouth. Only one co-worker knows and that's only because she, too, had the lap band performed several years ago. I haven't even told my best Friend. She will worry her head off, so I will wait until after the procedure is performed. I have not told any other family members. Its none of their business. I'm actually kind of excited being so "secretive"!
