I was banded in Mexico Nov 19th by Dr. Gonzales.

It was an amazing experience. I was very well cared for.

My Pre - Op weight was 271. I am as of Dec 4th 249.

I just started a website to send to my friends and family I will share it with all of you. If any of you have any recipes or any advice to help others please leave a message on my message board.

I feel really good for after 2 weeks but I am very board with the diet thus far any help here would be great.

I have been walking on the treadmill 30 minutes in the am and 30 minutes in the afternoon.

Does anyone know when I will be able to eat a salad? I know it wont be for a while but I cant find any information on a time frame to have a salad.

I had my Lap Band Surgery Nov 19th.

The Gas/ Air in my chest was the worst.

Gas X was my friend, that and a lot of walking.

Yes, I just found him today.

Jeffrey B. Monash MD - General and Bariatric Surgeon Tucson

It is actually his nurse practitioner that does the fills.

He charges 250.00 for the first fill.. 150.00 after that

Scott Lopez will be doing the fills. and the # is 520-722-7554

Hope this helps.

hi my fellow bandsters. one of the er doctors i work with is willing to go to mexico with me to my doctor, to learn how to do fills and unfills. are there many people in the phoenix area that would be interested in using this doctor instead of going to mexico. id like feedback.

i had a bad episode of gerd last week and went to the er. i was lucky that this great doc was working, he offered to take some fill out if i told him what to do. i knew what to do and walked him through it. thank god, i was completely swelled shut . anyone interested in learning more can pm me. id like to let him know . i think it is great also to know there is a er doc that "gets it", and you can go to in an emergency. he is willing to learn and provide the service if enough people are interested. it would be cheaper and less time consuming than the trip to mexico. :clap2:

DO you know of a dr in Tucson that does fills? If not I would be interested in knowing about yours.

Thank you

I am going to Mexico Nov 19 to have my Lap Band done. I can't find anyone here in Tucson Arizona to do my fills.

The dr's here charge so much to do the surgery, and wont do fills if they didnt do the surgery.

If anyone knows of anyone here in Tucson Arizona that does fills. please let me know. Thank you,
