<p>Hello everone!!! I am Geraldine from Bloomington-Normal area, Hudson, IL to be exact. I was banded by Dr. Ortiz (Tijuana,Mexico) last May 9th. I ate solids since 5 days post band, crazy huh? But i chewed my food like there is no tomorrow, no problems encountered, Thank God. I am looking for some support close to my area, anybody out there? I do have a few questions..... i know the clinton docs fill without florouscopy, even if it is your first time fill? do they check if the band is in the right place initialially? or is it an extra charge if you want to get the placement checked?</p> <p>I hope to hear from anybody who has an info about this </p> <p><img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/help.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Help" smilieid="256" class="inlineimg" /> <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/faint.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Faint" smilieid="236" class="inlineimg" /> </p> <p> </p> <p>Surg/Now/Goal</p> <p>218/210/140lbs</p> <p>Not started exercising yet <img src="http://www.LapBandTalk.com/images/smilies/kiss2.gif" border="0" alt="" title="Kiss2" smilieid="154" class="inlineimg" /></p>

Hello everyone!! this is my second post. my lapband was may 9th, postponed from may 22. i actually met mischevous1 there. renee, do you remember me? i was kind of doped up when i spoke to you. anyway, my belly is black and blue, i have sharp pains in my port site :help: is this normal? it puts me to my knees, yes that bad, it only lasts for a second though. i know we were told to have clear liquids up to 10 days but i have started on soft>pureed foods, and i am tolerating it well. i burp quite a bit but nothing very uncomfortable. i am eating about a 4th of what i was used to eating and i feel full. whew!!!:clap2: something is finally working surg wt/current/goal 218/210/145

I have been reading a lot of the posts here. I am scared too but I am really looking forward to leave the part of me that I hate and that pushes me forward with this endeavor. I have addiction to food, like a lot of people I eat when I am happy, bored or sad. I eat all the time. Since I have gained weight I have changed also. I have low self esteem, dont socialize anymore. Sooo different of what I was before. Sad that I have become that way but that is my reality. Even the people I love and dear to me are affected of who I've become. I want my old me. I am sure they do too. My surgery is on the 18th of May 2007, in Tijuana,Mexico,Dr. Ortiz. (5 feet 3 inches) Highest weight: 220lbs BMI: 39 :angry :think :help:
