Since i have had my band i am not really bothered by hunger. It really curbs my appetite. I really do not eat much anymore. So cool................ Donna

Mexico rocks!!!!

I think we have all gone through the " I`m so hungry i could eat the family dog" stage. It does get better once you start getting fills. Donna

PROGRAM FEE?! You're kidding, right?
DonHoll1 replied to k_podski's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am so glad i went to Mexico. So many of the Dr.s here are so greedy. I had to pay 1100 dollars up front to a fill Dr. here so i could get fills. What a rip off. Donna -
Surgery in Mexico? Is this safe?
DonHoll1 replied to annabellapeekin's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Dr Zapata in Mexico is great. He has a great record and a great team. The hospital and hotel were both very nice. I had no problems at all. Donna -

Welcome to both of you.!!!The band will really help you to not be so hungry, but you still have to watch WHAT you eat. You also have to exercise.If you continue to eat ice cream and other soft foods that will slid thru the band you may not do so well. If you eat right and exercise it will really make a big difference for you. I really love my band. Donna

I just got my second fill and i have great restriction. I am at 2cc in a 4 cc band. I have pbed two or three times so i know i need to slow down. I still eat way to fast. I have lost three pounds this week and am real happy with that. Donna

Hang in there guys! It really does get better. When you move to mushies it gets a little easier. Donna

Sorry you are not doing well, but sometimes it takes several fills to hit your sweet spot. I havc 2cc in a 4 cc band and it is working great for now. As i lose i will need another fill. Are you eating right and drinking lots of water??? The water is very ,very important. So is exercise. Best of luck. Donna

DH says just chew it up and spit it out
DonHoll1 replied to TulipStar's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Wendall i tried to look at your pics and it said your acc. had been canceled. I always love your advice so i wanted to see what you look like. I agree with your advice on this one too. Donna -
If you do not feel any restriction two weeks after your last fill i would ask for another one. It can not hurt to ask. Donna
-
My doctor did not require any kind of pre-op diet. I don`t think it is a bad idea to lose some before surgery if you can. Always makes the surgery safer. Donna
-
Welcome to the board!!! Both of you! Hope your surgery goes well. By Dec. you should be fine to go on vacation. Just follow your doctors diet plan for you.. Donna
