Do any of them do fills to and if so will they accomodate bands done in Mexico? I have a doctor but I think she does blind non barium swallow fills and that scares the behoosefat out of me (yes, I made that word up).

Back at work...side hurts a bit but every day is a better day...averaging about 600 calories (plus or minus a day) and afraid i'm taking in too much. Haven't seen much in the way of weight loss though I can't get more than a half a cup in at a time. I'm doing my walking and the gas is lessening...thank goodness! I've been in touch with everyone in my band group (we're going to have to come up with a name for our group...DBV...any thoughts? I want to start working out again soon. Maybe recumbent bike next week (next Thursday will mark 2 weeks out). This may fall under a different forum but when did you guys start working out again?

You know...I think I need to learn greek to figure out my stomach...I don't know what i'm dealingwith these days. I drink a Protein shake and 2 hours later i'm so hungry I can't think straight...I mean really truly hungry!! I don't get it. When I get the full fill i'm REALLY REALLY FULL...then...nothing...I get that liquids go down faster but geez...i'm drinking Water (w/lemon) and trying to do right. I read something about one doc in the midwest putting his patients on diet pills during the first six weeks of their process to keep the hunger pangs down and i'm really thinking about it. I can't be at work so hungry that i can't concentrate. Does anyone have suggestions for the newly banded? I looked for a thread on this before but didn't find exactly what I was looking for. I don't want to screw up my first 6 weeks but I have to eat...crackers maybe?

I'm okay Vera...can't drink much and ready to go back to exercising again but i'm doing okay day to day. I kinda like the DBV name (double banded Vera)...makes you sound like a really bad chick lol!!! Miss and Patty say hello and they are doing well...keep in touch. I need to talk to you about Utah fill doc and his charges...my doc out here does blind filles (yikes!!!) and even though I have the xrays i'm afraid of being stuck more than 3 times. Gonna get my first fill Mem day weekend.

Hi Vera, Really great meeting you at the house...hoping to see you at the Oct bash band that Dr. Sanchez is giving.

I'm scheduled for Dr. Sanchez in 2 days and I'm so ready to get this over...i've started my blog and plan on offering what I can...frankly speaking there's no much outstanding info out there I don't know what I could possibly offer in the way of sharing information.

My date is March 31...not quite an April band baby.

Please keep me in mind when you do get the bash together. I'm scheduled for the end of this month and I know i'll need the support. Thanks!

Hi Kelly AnnCongrats on the weightloss...I'm not sure if you mentioned it but did you find a fill doctor in NJ? I've seen ones in NY (Long Island, Westchester) but not in Jersey proper...Just wondering as it would be easier for me to go to someone local than to go all the way to LI.
