Is feeling a bit bruised normal after first fill??
julie37 posted a topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi This is the morning after my first fill and am feeling a bit sore/bruised in the 'band' area - is this to be expected? Cheers Julie -
Bloody Nora! I'm glad you have told me that - if I have trouble swallowing spit tomorrow I would have gone into panic mode and probably to the hospital! Thanks

Hi Is it any close for you fly to Fort Mc? My family doctor is also a fill doctor - I was banded in Mexico and he is happy to do my fills. Let me know if you want his number. -
My doctor up here in Fort McMurray does fills, let me know if you want his number

I'm being banded on March 5th - so excited! WhoooooooooooHooooooooooooooooooooooo -
Congratulations - I've read quite a bit on different sites about being pregnant and having a band - you'll soon fined your niche. I'm hoping to have another baby once I lose this weight. Good Luck

Hi I am now booked with surgery with Dr Oritiz and I have to say everyone I have spoken with at the centre has been so helpful. We were thinking of having a few days break there as well and one of the ladies has emailed me with places to visit in San Diego and Tijuana. I am more than happy to be going there in March wooo hoooo Will let you know how I get on if your worried about going out of country. Cheers Julie

Hi I've just booked my surgery in Mexico. I read somewhere that you can claim a small portion of the cost back thru Alberta Health Care. I have been in contact with them and they say if I have it done in Canada I can. I read it on a Alberta website that arranges surgery in Mexico - does this ring any bells with anyone??? Cheers

Hi Just wondering if you've had your surgery yet and if not where your going?? I'm probably going to Dr Ortiz in Mexico once I've lost the 5% which should be a couple of weeks. I live in Edmonton and Fort McMurray so am looking for info on fills etc as well Cheers Julie
