Welcome! Im from fort worth texas and was banded on may 12,2006 in mexico! Good luck on your band journey!

Sorry i missed your birthday my band sister! Please forgive me!!!!:faint: Hope you had a great one! :kiss2: Happy Birthday!!!!!:kiss2:

Dianechef: YOU GO GIRL YOU CAN DO IT!!!!:clap2: Yea i think we all very with the recipe haha but whatever works!:grouphug: CHICKEN BREAST wow lianna i cant do chicken:cry it hangs up on me...but i bet its good!:hungry:

I went in and added up all the calories per pot of soup.in other words per recipe. and got only the following: 355 calories 5 fat grams 50 carbs 4 protien .....but i dont really count them either since they are considered "empty calories" but i wanted to enter something in fitday.com haha I make this soup everyweek now for the past 3 weeks for me and my daughter to have instead of snacks. Ive added potatoes to it this week..YUMMY! and on my meat night i crumbled up a grilled hamburger patty i had made for DH into our soups YUMMY AGAIN! so many different ways you can work with this soup and its great to keep onhand for snacks or meals..and gets better as the week passes! YUMMMMYYYY:hungry:

I agree had i found it cheaper in the us i would have done it too. Dont get me wrong my dorc has been great! but its such a hassle to have to go there for everything..its expensive to get fills here in texas if your a "Mexican patient" (thats what they call people banded in mexico) But ive have 3 surgeries for my band done down there one being a removal and the other 2 bandings and my doctor has been great! They usually will account for it seeing as the internet is where they get most of their business and word of mouth...if the word is bad they like anyone else will loose bussiness. and they dont want that.. But its a personal decision...my mother had hers done in Mexico and none of us knew anythign till she got back!:faint: But as for me..hell i tell everyone! and i get mixed reviews lots of people are like "omg id never have that done in mexico" while imstanding there telling them how much weight ive lost and how many inches and my clothes are hanging off me...DUH! Didnt hurt me so why would it them? LOL there are errors in every medical practice all over the world NOT JUST MEXICO.. So just do your research on the doctor of your choice and ask around..people will tell you what they think and what experiences they had..:Banane22: Keep up posted! Christy:girl_hug:
