Hey, everybody! I'm Brooke from florence, Alabama. I was banded in San Antonio, TX at the SA Weightloss Center May 15,2007. Having my band done out of state was a great decision. I didn't have to do any waiting list, I got financing from capital one, and the cost of my procedure was only 12,000. My Dr. was Jorge Rincon. If any of you Alabamians want to chat or have questions, let me know!! Good luck to you all!

Hey, everybody! I just had my band put in last week by Dr. Jorge Rincon (San Antonio)! I've lost 8 pounds in 9 days! I feel pretty good! Anyways, I'm in stage 2 now and I've made a Soup recipe that's pretty good to be a full liquid:
chicken broth
salt
hot sauce or other seasoning
~Put these ingredients in the blender, then in the microwave for about a minute, and it takes pretty much like a real meal!
Flying with the Band
in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

Hi,
I am from Alabama, and I had my lap-band surgery done in San Antonio, TX. I actually flew there, had it done, and then flew back home to finish recovering. I've had to fly back there twice since then and haven't noticed any complications or changes in my restriction (I might just be lucky) I actually remember eating on the plane on the way back from a fill, heh. It really just comes down to the fact that the band has different effects on different people's bodies, so you can't really know what to expect until you have experienced it yourself, but I wouldn't worry too much abt it. Hope this helps ^.^
