I agree I've alway had a few beers after work,I work const. so that's kinda the way it is ,but being 49 yrs. old never really looking at a calorie chart etc. I'm trying to stick to about 1020 cal. per day. just looking at thechart every shows you there is not a lot of room for error (just rambleing) terryr

I paid for mine also 3/29 I'm going in 4/27 . Anyway what are your thoughts on erosion etc. Maybe the slow route is better for slipping.erosion, just thinking?terryr

Nothing new to add ,good to see you back Jack terryr

I would say if I shelled out $$$$$$$$ out of my own pocket I would be able to not drink after meals! Are self pay or insured? terryr

Banded 3/29 no big deal sleeping on my tummy(belly)terryr

i used the strips at first but then i saw they make gas x chewable tablets which have twice the chemical in them.They seemed to work much better. terryr

I was banded 3/29 and my doc. said no problem w/ req. coffee. terry

sunnysea are you getting your fill mon? that's even sooner that mine after surgery. he scheduled mine at 28 days. terry

Dr. K does not use flouro. terry

I had dr. Kirchenbaum in denver with a 3/29 surgery date. Before I left his office we scheduled a 4/27 fill date. (go figure I guess) terry

Has anyone from dr. kirchbaum with surgery in march,had a fill yet? I had surgery 3/29 with a 10 cc band. Just wondering how many cc he is doing on the first fill or if everyone is about the same or if it's a judgment call on his part. Everything sofar with him has went very smooth. terry

I had Dr. Kirchenbaum in denver do mine and I asked specificily if I could go the nite before surgery,and he said no problem. I even asked about alchohol to which he said no problem. So we found a nice microbrewery just a couple of bloks from the motel and had a nice steak (no potatoes) and a couple of martini's. Just had to get back early enough to do the laxative thing looking back I guess it was good that mine surgery was'nt until 330pm in the afternoon terryr

Bruce have you had any fills yet? terry

I was banded on 3/29 do think it would be okay to have a couple of glasses of wine or a couple of non-carborated drinks on easter? thanks terry r

Just had my surgery on the 3/29/2007. Did anyone have post op swelling that made your stomach look and feel larger than prior to surgery.

Just had my surgery on 03/29/07. Did anyone have post op swelling in your stomach that made it look and feel bigger than pre-surgery.

Hey mark and shesha how'sthings going? Had my band done thurs. by dr. K in Denver. don't seem to be in a lot of pain right now because that liquid vicodin really doe's the trick for relieving what feels like a strained muscle. Did you guy's use any liquid tylonol or chewable's? also bee drinking large amounts of water and broth.Stomach sounds very loud and churining all of the time,but I don't seel hungry so I guess that's ok.I also gained 4lbs. since the day before surgery but I think it's from the beef/chickrn broth.What other kinds of liquids did you drink for the first week? Also no bm since day before surgery,is this normal? any info would help,I thought I knew all the answers before sugery but it's different now that I khow it's inside me!!!!! Thanks terry r Also is that gurgling noise after I drink water goinh though the band,seems to take about 10/15 seconds after taking a swallow

Had my band installed by dr. K in Denver thurs. No gas pains or anything,but my stomach sounds like a freight train.I've been drinking tons of fluid actually gained 4 lbs. Am I supossed to be able to drink as much as I want? Also did anybody see how much sodium is in broth? That can't be good for you!!! any feedback would help. thanks Terry r

Getting banded 3/29 and have an all day cycle ride planned about a month later. (harley bagger). anbody did it that close to surgery terry

Looking for a motel close to Dr. K,s office in Denver. Also wondering if you WI. guy,s rented a car or if there was an airport shuttle? Surgery date is 3/29 any info would be helpful. Terrr r

Hav'nt heard from either of you two how's things going? I got a date with dr. K in denver for 3/29. I also talked to Dr. sunby"s office at deancare and they are going to do my fills,I think I will go to Denver for the first one what's the plan on your end? Terry R
