My doc tod me that he'd just cut me open to do it if it was too difficult. How's that for a motivator!

What a handsome young man you are, inside and out.

Thanks all! Feels good to have your kudos too!

I think you are supposed to be on liquids for a few days after a fill. I have my first fill Nov 5th so I'm not experienced but from what I've read on this forum everyone goes on liquids for a few days after fill.

Wonderful!!

Great success story! Congrats!

Hi Mari! I'm Michele. Nice to meet you.

I'm micheleost.

Could be 3-4 hr drive Santa Barbara is about two hrs.

Added you.

Today I paid $4.25! I'm thrilled. It was $4.95 a few days back.

Hey so when they wheeled me into the operating room I said to the team " this doesn't look like Greys Anatomy in here! Why are the lights so bright?" Then we joked around about that and something about dreaming of cabana boys and then I was out! Point is, wow was it bright in there!

Dear, I think someone just got handed their ***!

Marketdude, You asked the q we replied! I think that you already beat a lot of odds by doing something a lot of us wouldn't have the guts to do, get banded in a foreign country. ANY foreign country. You also mat make it to the green zone faster. So Celebrate that! I didn't read about anyone promoting another surgeon. Did I miss something? I have read a lot of post about your dr and dr Ortiz and have heard nothing but good things. I'm sure you could hear the same about any of our surgeons, they are just not that widely defended because they not need to be, they are in our own country. I think the analogy about older versions of the iPod or iPhone is a good one. Facts are facts, older versions are there for a reason, they've been upgraded, making changes due to feedback from users. I wish you a long successful journey with no problems with your band. After all I still have an iPhone 3G and have never had any problems with it!
