Oh my..that is scary. I'm due to be banded in May and now I wonder. How did the band erode your stomach? Did the doctor have any explanation? I do hope you find a fix and get back on the road to good health.

At 245 I doubt you have to worry about that. Ask for an extension for the seatbelt. I do it all the time. Don't let that ruin your trip. Airline seats are small and it's not a shock to anyone to ask for the extension.:eek:

I am a new member and will be getting ready for pre op soon. Has anyone had Dr. Kuri in Mexico perform your surgery? I am full of questions and concerns when reading some of the posts. I have been looking into this surgery for almost 3 years and I am scared. Are you not allowed to eat anything at first...I read about so many feeling starved and some have fills every month. Why is that needed?

Oh my gosh!! It's not only me!!! I have been so distressed because I have the large band too and have had I can't remember how many fills..maybe 8? I am getting nowhere and can't find that sweet spot either. My fills have been up and down and I think I am at 6.5 or so. Have been high as 7.5 and I don't know what is wrong. My surgery was in Mexico on May 2006. A local doctor in my home state is doing my fills and he does not seem to be very knowledgable about the bigger band. I feel he might not really care since he did not do my surgery. I am self pay and could not afford the much, much higher prices here. I am sooooo lost and down.:help::cry
