Macysgranny! Wow! You have done fantastic! Way to go! QuasiTova: Oh, Oh, I understand why you have to wait until November...but boy I would be impatient! I was impatient (inside) having to wait 3 weeks! I just can't wait! Good luck!

Hi Ben! Lucky you! You are just a few days away! While you are at the surgery center, I will be getting my blood drawn for my surgery the next week! Good luck and keep in touch and let us know how you do! Karen

You might want to check on fill centers USA, to see if there are any close to you. There are very few doctors who will fill patients banded in Mexico. You also could try called lapband solutions and see if they have a referral name for you. Good luck!

Their entire staff is awesome!! I thought fills were easy, I don't remember them hurting at all.

I'm in Keller also. I started with AIGB(lapband solutions) but they had my insurance info wrong. Because I had already had a band, they wanted me to have a consult with my doctor first. When at that appt, I talked to the insurance lady, so agreed about my insurance, that "fast tracked me"!! Good luck!!

O2BSlim! I am being banded my Dr. Ferrara on Oct 23rd!! I am so excited! Have you had your pre-op yet? Karen

I told Lisa we need to shoot for something then if it will work out!!!!!!!!! tmarie, I had my band removed Nov. 18th because of erosion.... so I am now bandless Donali - you inspire me, I have to tell you I have really gone through a grief period and have withdrawn from all of my support groups because I feel as I dont' belong there...
