Ditto princess!

Look up Dr. McKeen. I'll try getting some more info for you. Look up Angeleyes on this forum maybe she can help with the details...She's in Utah and just got banded by him there.

So It's a "He" Iv'e thought of alot of names for bands... fickleThat can be a good thing...Keeps you on guard Welcome to Atlanta...Is it 4 hours away(time zone)?

Happy Birthday Marie!

Val, that's a great atitude! I'm in the egg salad, mushy chilli stage. I seem to fall back on SF jello and cottage cheese...Best of luck!

cause I'm in a jury trial and will be there for about a week longer. Of course I can't talk about it. I am the plaintif and have been waiting for this trial for a long time. Anyway....I've been in court from 8-5 then home with the kids and my duties...... Other then that, I'm very restricted still. I have protien shakes and vits in the morning, water....water...water, soup for lunch and dinner, had three bites of tuna today and got the hiccups!!. Loving the restriction I've lost 8 lbs. since rebanding. Miss you guys DBV

sure...my motto, anything that can go through a straw. Please follow your doctors orders!

I've had 2 band surgeries (faulty tubing in the first band) and another major surgery...not saying this isn't serious. It is. Postive thoughts going your way and Congratulations

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers! Indeed a smelly stituation. My ordeal involves the home we purchased 4 years ago where as the TDS, Transfer disclosure, stated we were on sewer. we're not, we have a delapated spetic leash field. (crap floatting) 2+ years ago we asked for 90K for repair to get hook up to sewer. The county came so close to red flaging our home, but we worked with the health dept. and got a temp leach line which is now in imenate repair. We had no choice but to go to court against century 21 and the sellers. We are in one week with a jury trail. On tuesday Bill will testify then me. Things have draged longer than we had hoped. Might even run through til friday. Please still keep me in your prayers! My mental health and the family's well being is suffering.

Yes! My hole was in the tubing. Dr. Sanchez replaced my band after an atempt to fix the tubing, but that didn't work. The manufacture of the band had to pay for the replacement and surgery costs. How could your doctor prove that the hole was caused by the surgeon? Time is your enemy! Get your band fixed ASAP I have 2 children and can understand your situation. Feel free to PM me.

Alexandra!! You look so much younger!!!! Donovine, I'm so happy for you! Thanks again everyone for posting your pics.

Hi Brenda, First band 8-14-03. You can search my story as my tubing had a slow leak, repaired on 2-25-05. Confirmed leak at repair site and Re-banded 3-31-05. Hi Meshawn and Leatha

Pork, dry ribs, Pork-chops!! could never with my old band or my new band. I have had the worst PB's on Pork!

bubbame, Most people like Califorinia Rolls(crab), but at the start are turned off by the seaweed; try small bites. Good Maguro should be very tender, these are good starters. dip in soy with a little of the green stuff (wasabi) mixed in for hot flavor. Caren, your martini sound delish'

Angeleyes, I've been waiting for you.... Congratulations She may have had surgery on the 6th?..

So happy for you! There's nothing like watching and living with a child that isn't totally healthy. Praise the Lord.

Wow I'm just seeing this post for the first time. I just posted my barium swallow pics a few days ago thinking It's good to show newbies what the band looks like inside, and you have. You look about as tight as I feel. Nice pics!

Welcome Home

Sweetheart, Thanks for the update. Take care of yourself as well. When Billy gets uptight, on edge and sort of shaky I hear him say "I forgot/need to take my meds". He take toprol.

My Dad was a bee keeper. When the queen swarms, we'd have to get the water hoses out. I once pulled 7 stingers out of his neck. I love honey

I've noticed in myself, that if things don't go smoothly and something upsets my groove, I get very upset. I've told myself for years that when you fix something, something eles breaks, it's just part of life. But I'm having a hard time with anxiety and overload. I don't have advice, but can understand your feelings...

Jack, I'm doing great. Thanks Nykee, some doctors to barium check right after banding, before you leave the hospital. This is the same procedure that is used when getting a fluoroscopy fill. Dr. Sanchez felt the need for this check considering all I’ve been through, with the re-banding. The last pic was done by Dr. McKeen. That is contrast showing the leak on my old tubing/band. Judy, I have No fill. I'm very tight. It's been 1 week since re-banding. I just thought these pics were interesting and for those who haven't seen a band inside.

Nice Trish I love ceramics!!! I use to throw pots, but my fav is sculputure. I came 2nd place in an art scholarship. My other favorite is wax casting jewelry. The girl who got the scholarship never finished her degree… If I had the time.......I have some fishes to do.

Oh Sweetheart, Big hugs to both of you. Gods fate you are close by.

This is my old port, see the leak?
