OMG Enterprise, you look great! You can really see the indentation of your waist. How much fun is that!? I haven't posted much, but read our thread nearly everyday. My weight loss has been slower due to some bad food choices, but I will never regret my band! The weight comes off slowly, but surely. Take care Polly 236-209-176 01-30-07 Dr. Rod, Acuna Mx

Enterprise: Hi, I read your post about your Dr using omnipaque....do you feel any difference from it? I was banded on Jan 30th, lost 20#s so far, two fills. Thanks for your response! texasbighair

Hi Sun! What great news being almost to 190! I was banded on 01-30, and am losing a bit slower than you...but oh well....that's just how it is for this bandster. I've just gotten my 2nd fill yestd, and am at 2.5cc in a 4 cc. I can tell a difference already. Your posts are very honest and encouraging.

Hi! I saw your question about tanning, and have some experience. I owned a salon for 8 years, and had clients who'd just had surgery. I would provide them Desitin to put on their scars, to keep them from exposure. It works! Just dab it with a qtip to be precise and wipe off after tanning ! It keeps the scar from darkening. Hope that helps! Polly Banding date: 01/30/07 Dr. Rodriguez, Acuna, Mexico 228-150

Yes, I had the back of my hips and inner thighs done about 9 years ago. It hurt, but the neat thing is my thighs don't slap together anymore when I walk! The down side is if you gain weight, it goes to OTHER areas. I'm sure they've made great strides since mine was done. Good luck! PS: I've read this site for over a year, trying to get the $ and courage up to have LBS done by Dr. Jose Rod in Acuna. Hopefully soon!

Dr. Jose Rodriguez in Acuna is whom I've chosen, just need to figure out local fill options!

Hi Dianna: I am seriously thinking of having Dr Rod do a band on me, but had a question. I live in Ft Worth, and was wondering if you have found a doctor around here that is willing to do fills? If so, how much are they charging? Barbara said something about Red River Radiology in Paris, but wondered if you found somewhere closer to DFW? Thanks! Polly
