I still drink protein drinks. I found out sometimes when I can't get anything to go down I can always get that protein shake to go down.

Betty Lue replied to Dedria's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I Had my lap band done in Acuna, Mexico. Dr Jose Rodriguez was my doctor. Had it done a little over a year ago and I've lost 70lbs. My ticker still says 65 but I don't know how to reset it. Anyway Dr. Rodriguez and his staff are great! -
Dr. Jose Rodriguez - info request
Betty Lue replied to Bizzy Bee's topic in Weight Loss Surgeons & Hospitals
Dr Rodriguez was my doctor. I can only say good things about him. His staff is wonderful, treated me really good. The Hospital is small but very clean. I don't think you would go wrong by going to him. -

How often do you weigh?
Betty Lue replied to Twilight's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I weigh only once a week only. I've notice if I weigh daily its up and down because of fulid. I weigh on Monday right when I get out of bed. ~Betty -

YES I have. People treat you dfferent when your big. It really hurts and can cause you to think bad about yourself. -

Betty Lue replied to DrPhil's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
I've been 1 yr. 2 months out. I have had no complications. I'm 10 lbs from my goal. I've reach my Dr's goal. The only thing sometimes I take to big of bites and up it comes. Thats my fault. I love my band, it has been a true life saver. -
