Awesome Link.... I just checked out the link and this is probably the best information a future bander and current bander could get. It's from the manufacturer..Duh...

I am planning to have surgery on a Tuesday and fly home on a Saturday and back to work on Monday. I also work in an office so I can just have to get up and down from my desk. I was wondering if anyone sits at a desk with arm rest. Will the arm rest be up against the port? Tabon

Hola, Has anyone thought about doing the South Beach diet for couple of weeks before surgery. That will provide alot of protein . At least this would be my last fad diet forever.....We all need to keep up the fluids as they will be out best friends soon. Has anyone been searching for the " Mayers " protein beverage of choice? Lets not wait to long to load up the cabinets and be ready !!!

Semper Fi!!!! Well that is Marine talk...I salute him for his work and bravery.!!

This sounds like a "bashment" going on that may needs some more flavor....Hmmmm Vegas? What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas?

Ladies, I hate to see the post that say "Women Only" This is liking telling a man not to look at Halle berry. We will look anyway.!! I think this is important information for me also, as we can learn about women bodies etc... I also peak at Comopolitian magazine for the articles,especailly when its subjecy is when " what women reallywant in bed". I hope you ladies and gentlemen understand the need for information for all. Thanks

Hello, I need to know of a good contact number and name at his office in Mexico. Also when is it a good time of day to get them? Thanks

Where is the singles board?

Great News Girl!! Well Time For New Jeans!!!!

Hello, Let me know how all the pre buying works out. I am part of May 2006 MonterreyMexico Banster Crew..

Great work, Keep it going and you will meet your goals...

Wannabe, Have you made your decision yet? I am have narrowed it down to two doctors in Monterrey. Let me know with a PM what your feeling in the search for the right one.

Good to hear your news sister. Be kind to your band and get out there and do some walking...!!

Good luck Philli, I wish you all the best. Tell us all about it later. Take care

Chevy Girl, Did your dr put you on the protein diet? That seems like a long time but it should pay off at the end with weight loss and an easier surgery. I have read that if you go on a diet before surgery it will make it easier to recover. Is anyone here doing any pre op exercise? damn it seems like the days are just stalling. Does it seem like time is standing still?

Hello Thanks but it seems my insurance company can not get anyone and they have not returned her calls. . I have tried and left a message also...I will see if they get back to me. Cathy gave me their number. Thanks

Ladies, I know how you feel. I guess my goal is get my 350 lbs scale to register. That will be coming in the next few months, no worry...

Sorry But Please Remember I Do Not Have A Band Yet...if Anyone Who Has A Band Has Tried This I Would Like To Know Whatthey Thought Of It... Thanks

i LIKE THE TASTE OF THIS PRODUCT. ADD A BANANA AND SOME ICE AND TASTE LIKE A MILKSHAKE TO ME AND 37 GRAMS OF PROTEIN!!

Well after 2 weeks of papers into the insurance I got my approval for the surgery . Now I have a couple of concerns. I do not live in the USA. I was planning on going to Mexico if I was self paying. The insurance will pay 100% if done "in network" in the states. I have had my mind so set on my self pay date of May 2006, that now with the insurance I know the possible date will be later . If I get it " out on Network" the insurance company will only pay 50%. What would you do :help:?

Hey, Talked again to my insurance company and a few different hopitals in the New York area ( none were in my companies network). One thing for sure it seems to be alot of red tape to get this procedure done in th US without spending a couple of weeks in , pre op appointments and finally surgery. My company is checking into the Mexican possibilities . What I have been told is that they will pay airfare for me and another person to go the procedure "out of thier network ". They will pay 80 % of the procedure. They will pay for one follow up visit and also 170.00 usd per day for hotel and food the days I am not in the hospital. this will add up for me only paying about 2500.00 usd. This is also getting it done in one week and not over a possible two week period. If they agree to Mexico and the other information above I will get it done sooner rather then later as it is only about 2500.00 usd. What do you all think abot this now?

Hey, This is what one one his patients sent me. check it out :http://www.bandstersforum.com/index.php

Hello, I am considering him also. I am looking towards the middle of May. I have requested information on him on this site and probably had 5 or so responses. All of the feedback I got was excellent. Let me know what your plans are and I can keep you abreast of mine also. I am thinking of the same package in the smaller clinic/ hospital. Have you contacted anyone at his office yet? I am also considering the Dr. Rumbault in Monterrey also but more expensive and I personally know of a few people that have been to him..But I am self pay and looking at price.. keep me posted..!!

Great insight Stocky.. For this future" May Bander" Keep up the writing as your story seems like the ideal situation!!! You make it sound soooo easy....How are the incisions doing? Thanks

Damn good job... Lead by example.....
