It's good to hear that as an out of towner, you've had a good experience. I am driving almost 2 hours to be banded by Dr. Curry. I'm praying for a great experience. Thanks.

Good question. I'd be curious to know the same thing.

Great! I'm glad you had a positive experience. Best wishes to you and thanks for your response.

I'm not sure where you are getting your information from, waste can remain in the body for days, weeks and yes years if you do not eliminate properly. Everyone eliminates, but not all do the way they are suppose to. I understand that if you eat your veggies and herbs land fiber ike they are suppose to be eaten to elimnate naturally, that would be the best cleansing option, but as I said before the majority of us on this forum are obese because of poor food choices, thus not eliminating properly. You may be the one who has grasped a hold of the principle of eating right, thus eliminating properly. We're not all there yet. May you stay healthy. Good luck.

For the colonics, you are on a reclining bed and clothes from the waist down are off except socks if you prefer, however, you are covered up and don't need confidence in your body to have such service performed. I think in another post you asked where to get the mucoid plaques cleanse and you would want to check with any center that does colonics or I found it online. It's called the So Easy Cleanse and comes in 3 purple boxes (1 for ea day). Also I think you asked about ins. coverage for such services and I'm not sure. You would need to ask your ins. provider.

You should do a google search on Colonics or Colon Hydrotherapy or Colon Irrigation in your city or surrounding area. That's what I did to find mine. As far as the mucoid plaque cleanse, here is a link to a good article on it, happy learning; Colon Cleansing To Get Rid Of Mucoid Plaque It is very effective in cleaning the colon if you are not on a diet that promotes the cleaning of the colon natuarally. Good luck in your search.

Hi Leknigh, We have chatted before. I'm glad to see you're doing fine. It's countdown time now and I want all the feedback I can get from Dr. Curry's patients. I've read some horror stories on here and I don't want to experience all that negative stuff. Take care and keep up the good work.

There are three basic ways that you could clean your colon. You could do it all naturally, with the use of a colon cleanse product, or by having a colonic. As to which one you choose is 100% ones choice; however, they are all effective in acheiving the same goal. The majority of the people on this forum will not do it naturally because in order to do so one would need to consume vegetables and herbs that cleanse the colon naturally. Most of us on here are in the situation we are in because of poor eating habits, not eating healthy vegetables and herbs with cleansing properties. I go to a wellness center where all of the cleanses are either a service or you may purchase. QUOTE FROM: High Colonic Irrigation Colon Cleansing colonic irrigation colon cleansing is safe and simple method that irrigates the large intestine with Water (gravity flow) to clean out the years of toxins and accumulated waste lining the walls of the large intestine. Removing the years of this buildup improves colon function and other normal functions.

I'm on the Medifast diet which has shakes, bars, powdered eggs, and a variety of soups that you can eat with a spoon. It's not good, but has to be better than just protein shakes. I thought I was going crazy on this stuff, but just shakes I would have already been committed. My Dr. said they've had completed success with patients on the Medifast diet and liver shrinkage. Ask your nutritionist. Best wishes to you.

It's not bad. As a matter of fact, colonics can be quite addictive. Try it sometime.

LOL! That's funny how we get grossed out by something that's so healthy for us. Maintaining a healthy colon can tremendously reduce the chances of colon cancer and many other things; but I understand what you mean because having had colonics, I could never be in that field. If your own poop grosses you out, someone elses would even more and that's what they deal with everyday. Anyway, try it. Have you had surgery yet? There has been no pain, no cramping.

I'm not sure if there's anyone like me but I don't like a jiggle in my butt, stomach and boobs so all of my under clothes are support everything (panty girdle's and minimizers). I was wondering though, the day of surgery with all the incisions would it be wise for me to get some cotton granny panties and wear a cute sun dress that's loose. Suggestions welcomed.

Wonderful!!!

Where were you banded and who did your surgery? Sounds like you had a great successful surgery and surgeon. Congrats!!!

I'm being banded by Dr. Curry on 8/2. :smile:Best wishes to you.

When is your surgery and how long have you been doing medifast?

OMG, I was horrible the first 3-5 days. For the first time since Tuesday of this week, I feel good. I was a "B" yesterday and my husband was just so patient, bless his heart. It's sugar and real food withdrawls. This medifast is CRAP!!! I guess I shouldn't complain since I've lost 9 lbs. My headaches finally subsided this morning when I woke up. I am now doing a 3 day So Easy mucoid plaque cleanse and giving medifast a break for the next 3 days. Good luck with your surgery.

When was your surgery and how much have you lost?

For me it is a 1 day out patient surgery.

WOW, thanks. Fortunately, I haven't taken that dosage since Saturday. My surgery is in 2 weeks. I will refrain from taking anything.

How are you feeling now? Are you still bloated and sore? Just curious.

Thanks for the replies and suggestions. I am preparing now. Congrats you all. We're on our way to losing ALL unwanted weight.

NSAIDS??? Please explain. Is this the aspirin or ibuprofen? Tylenol does nothing for me except of course the one with codeine. I don't mean to sound like I don't know anything but I'm not familiar with that acronym. Thanks.

Similar to phlegm???

I'm new at this so don't laugh, what is "slimed"? I know what PB'd is and the thought of doing it absolutely disgusts me, but I never heard of "slimed".
