When I was in Monterrey 2 weeks ago, they said Dr. Alejandro Cárdenas was working on a web-sight. You can see and read about him on Ready4Achange.com, proceed to the bottom of the home page and click on Dr. Alejandro Cárdenas. That's it Alice, Penni and I are going down. How bout Thanksgiving?

Did you get a fill while you were there? Congratulations on your weight loss!

Alice, I've been thinking about you. Thanks for the update, Your going back in December? Do you want a room-mate? I'm seriously thinking about having my eyes done. How many days were you there? Why didn't you get a fill before you left Monterrey, it's only 118.00 under flouro with Dr. Suesana. Can't wait to see the pictures.

Holy Smokes, Belinda On an other note...I noticed Belinda posting about Iron suppliments upsetting her stomach, I get this problem too. Sure I try to eat Iron enriched foods...I know I don't get enough. Any suggestions? Not really a hyjack..... You do look great! I remember her saying "I rather be poor and beautiful than rich and fat"

OK This is driving me crazy. I want to know what happened and why was it deleted. Anyone who wishes to, can PM me some details... Thank You.

3 inches to the left, and 3 inches up from my belly button.

Geez... I've been banded for 18 months Forgot what port pain felt like, you know, just out of surgery... My day off, cleaning bending, laundry bending, vacume bending... Even my knees hurt. Just venting while folding..

Went fishing today, pulled out a largemouth bass in the lake off my back yard. I also was able to lie on my tummy for the first time while Billy gave me a back rub. Now that's my kind of day. Denise, I had a hole in my tubing. Last week I had it fixed. To get to the tubing they had to pull out my port, fix the tubing then put the port back in. I still have the same port. Fish on

Wow Thanks Didn't mean to hyjack, well worth it Thanks

Don't go there! I keep asking Billy "does it look like it's in the same place? little high?" Maybe a 1/2 inch, same scar. LOLOL

Hi Kristi, hope you like chicken. Have you had a hiccup yet? ok This sounds funny, had my first one in 4 months, on tuna (early in the morning) felt great! My band's talking to me

I don't want to wait till.., like i'm not there... Medium, there I was, spread eagle..she decides to check my full report/chart, go's back 7 years "an ultra sound on your daughter's pg shows it too"....thanks So I say check everyone's documents before you offer this IUD. Thanks Nancy I don't feel anything?

Hi Dawn You will not be ignored. Your in Dallas and there's alot of bandsters in Dallas! You've got to get in to a doctor and have your band checked and get a fill. Make this band work for you. Payment plan, what ever it takes. You do have a good attitude. Michelle's on it!

If I could I'd be there! both NY/NJ and spotlight's Chicago. I agree, Penni, Vegas was a blast! You'll have a great time.

Thanks Ladies..I'm 45...I'm just about like Zoe..fairly regular untill a few months ago. I did notice how heavy and painful my cycles had become about a year ago. So I adressed this to my OBGYN who suggested a IUD called Myrida(I'm guessing on the name, knew it started with a M) This IUD releases very small amounts of progestrin, works for 5 years and many loose their period compleatly. I got all the insur. aproval and I'm lyeing on the docs table when she informs me she can't install it due to a fibroid in the way. That was 3 months ago. I'm seriously thinking about haveing that fibroid removed. What do you think? Bubba, Best luck with Mother Nature. Pam, thanks for the list.

Yes I sure did. While in mx a lovely Pauline was awaiting for some special glue for a small hole in her stomach that cause an infection which cause her port to be removed last November. Got all that ... when she had her port removed she was having her golf ball hole stuffed everyday for weeks. sound familiar? no pun indented. well I saw where her port was and she's got a divot about the size of a pearl, not deep at all. She said it took months to close up. She also has an ulcer in her esophagus. She claims she's very restricted and says that she can get fills, that all they have to do is un-cap her tube(small incision)etc...Did you have your tube removed? I think this all very interresting....Who needs a port? right Lisa. This is the PM I sent Lisa a few days ago, I thinks it's good information to post.

Please keep us updated. I have Blue Cross of Calif. and was denied. I've heard they've changed there policies lately, so I wish the best for you. Sorry, I can't help you with any documentation, I was self-paid. Good Luck

The 7th is a good number! Congratulations!

Happy Birthday..Oh young one.

Just for clarification....I had the kink that caused a hole in my tube. But I was NOT rebanded. Part of the tubing with the hole was removed and yes I am doing well, Thanks.

Keep us updated, nothing worse then not being able to sleep. Nighty-night

Kelly What's on the big left toe? Way curious

I'd rather be sadated than awake like I was for my leak repair. You'll be just fine, relax. Do take photos!!!

I didn't know Dr. Rod had he's own clinic? But I was at the out-patient clinic at Hospital San Jose in Monterrey just last week. Very nice and clean. I've never seen so much granite and marble in my life like that City.

Hi Alice I just got back from Monterrey Mx. While I was there, a room mate (Lynn) at Dr. Sanchez's guesthouse went for a consultation with Dr. Cardenas. She said while at her consultation the camera crew from extreme make-over was there. He's very impressive and his prices are nice. I'm thinking of having him do some work as well. I've heard that Dr. Cardenas shares the guest house with Dr. Sanchez. If so you'll have a pleasant stay. I'm so happy for you!
