Hi March 16th bandsters!!!! I'm home and sooo excited to have the surgery part behind me. Now the real work begins, but I could not be happier with the results so far. I have had very minimal pain, just the gas pressure that comes and goes. I had such a wonderful experience with my Dr and the whole staff. I'm a happy happy bandster. Bernadette:redface:

Hi everyone!!!! I'm just getting ready to head out the door to the airport. NOW I;m starting to get butterflies. I can't believe this day is finally here. YEAH Ill post more, Im taking my lap top Bernadette:thumbup:

Ree2009 Im being banded on Monday too, GOOD LUCK!! Im so excited. My flight leaves tomarow morning. YEAH us. Bernadette:thumbup:

I think to put it ll in a nutshell, everyone is different. Some people are open books and don't have any trouble telling people about their lives. And then there are others that are hesitant to share their life stories. I for one am an open book for all to see. I have been thru cancer twice and when customers at my work would compliment my new hairstyle I would move my wig ever so slightly and then smile!!!! Not everyone is so willing to share personal things about themselves. Bernadette:rolleyes:

Trying to figure out this ticker thing!!!

Sign me up too!! Im being banded on the 16th My weight right now is 215 I would like to take 40lbs off by the 4th. Thanks this should be fun. Bernadette

ljlluv Im sending cyber hugs to you for today!! You will be just fine. Take your gasx and chap stick. Come back and post tomarrow if you are up to it. Bernadette

Hi ALL One week from today I will be having my surgery:tt1: I can't believe it is almost here. It has all just been kindof a dream waiting for the actual date to get here. YEAH!!! I have a couple days of eating and then onto liquids...I can do it! Congrats to all of you banded this last week!! And good luck to all who are scheduled this week. Bernadette

OMG That was sooo funny, and appropriate for the busy bodies that want to know everything!! You go girl!:laugh:

My wake up call was when my nieces grandfather saw me and made this comment WOW I remember when you were little and we were always afraid that a big gust of wind would blow you away. This was in front of about 20 people, needless to say I was very imbarassed. he just passed away a month ago, he was 93 I still loved him even though he broke my heart.

Im March 16th too!!! Where are you having your surgery? Im so excited to get this ball rolling. Good luck to you. Bernadette:blush:

OMG, that is sooo funny, this is a great thread!

I have about had it with this forum!!!!! I have been posting in another thread and then certain people jump in with rude comments and then a moderator comes in and chastizes me. First it is the people just down right being rude and then the moderators back them up. This is not the first time this has happened, Un freekin believable!!!!!!!

Tracy Im sorry that you have nor felt welcome here, there are alot of other forums out there that give good support. I can't mention the names without getting into trouble. Im new here too and have met some very nice people and some down right mean people.....go figure. Why do you have to wait until June for your surgery? Good luck Bernadette

WOW there are so many people being banded this week I can't remember all of the names. GOOD LUCK, and keep us posted on your journey. Im scheduled for the 16th and can't wait!!! Thanks to all that posted on their surgery, its good to hear about someone who has just been thru this. Bernadette:thumbup: PS why is it that there is such a difference in having the liquid diet, some do some don't and some it is 3 days some 2 weeks??? You would think it would be the same for everyone.

I think she is totally bonkers and the Dr that did the in vitro or what ever she used is equally nuts. Why on earth would they do this for a single mom with no job that already has 6 kids!!!!!! CRAZY CRAZY CRAZY.

I work in a tire store!! I know that sounds kindof off the wall, I stand at the counter and sell tires, brakes, shocks etc. I also pay the bills for the store and do the accounts receivable. I love it!! Working with men is the best no PMS issues LOL. This is a great thread. Bernadette

Im new to this site and have seen ALOT of negative replies to threads. I have been very suprised at this. I came here for support before my surgery and have seen alot of posts that are down right mean. Im not sure why people are like that but it is usually the same ones doing it. I guess you have to take the good with the bad, most of the people here are great. Bernadette

I just needed to jump on this band wagon, Im March 16th I can't wait to get this journey started!!!!! Good luck everyone who is having surgery this week. Bernadette

Congrats on your success, Im two weeks from my surgery date and it can't get here fast enough. Keep us posted on your journey. Bernadette

Okay Iam still doing my research and this is another Drs name that has come up. He does surgery at Limarp surgery center in Tijuana. I would love to talk to anyone who has used him for the lap band. Thanks Bernadette

What Dr are you going to?? I wish you all the best in the world. We should keep in touch with our weight loss journey. Bernadette

Anyone March 16th?? In Mexico??

March 16th Dr Almanza-Reyes, anyoneelse going to Mexico on that date??

Okay I have done alot of Google searches for this Dr and still can't find any information about him. At his office they say that he has been doing gastric surgeries for 20 years, and that he trained Dr Almanza and Dr Pompa. I sure wish it was easier to search for things without having to just believe what people say. I will just have to keep looking.
