La banda es una ayuda para adelgazar. No es algo como milagro. Necesita Ud. escuchar a la banda durante la comida; en el momento que sienta "llena", hay que dejar a comer inmediatamente. Tambien, las drogas y alcohol debilitan la habilidad de hacer decisiones prudentes. No es tratamiento de ser adicta o no; es problema de decidir lo que es mejor para su salud. Lo siento si mi espanol no es muy bien -- hace mucho tiempo que escribo en su idioma muy bonito.

Gonna break down and get an UNfill...
jamamama replied to TerriDoodle's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Well, called my doctor here in town and she saw me right away. To make a long story short.... Ended up in the hospital to get rehydrated and the radiologist took out 1 cc using flouro. Can't wait to see how much all of this is going to cost! But after he took out that 1 cc, instant relief! Feeling much better today. Staying on liquids for a day and then mushies for a day. I hate it that it came to this, but my advice to anyone out there that can't keep down liquids "DON'T WAIT"! -

jamamama replied to TerriDoodle's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Terri, I finally called and scheduled an unfill for this Saturday. I just hope that I can hang in there that long. Today I can't even get liquids to go down. Last night I was able to eat a piece of cheese. I am not hungry at all, but am afraid of getting dehydrated. Sipped on warm tea this morning and it came up. Does anyone have any suggestions to get me through the next 4 days? -

TerriDoodle, I just had my third fill this past Saturday, and think I may be to tight. How long have you been on the fence? I want to give the band time to "settle down", but I also don't want to wait to long. -
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I am really feeling much more "easy" about going to Acuna after talking to you. I live about 3 hours from there and have actually been to Acuna several times. Barbara sounds great! Please keep me informed of your progress. My surgery unfortunately has been delayed until January, but that is OK. Good luck to you and I am very glad that all has been a good experience for youl.

I am planning on going to Dr. Rodriguez in Acuna also. Would really like to hear from those who have used him.

Glad to here you were so well taken care of. My sister and I have a date in December with Dr. Rodriguez. -
My sister and I are going to go to Dr. Rodriguez also. We are planning on December. Please let me know all about your experience. I have been to Acuna in the past and it is a quaint border town. Nothing fancy is expected, but I am interested in the cleanliness of the hospital and rooms.

Akapsi, I am new to this forum (just joined yesterday), but have been a guest and doing some research. I am thinking of using Dr. Jose Lopez in Acuna. Is he using the J & J band on you?
