Kate,

Right on!! So glad you are doing so well and no gas pain... whoohoo:) Right now I'm living in SW Colorado and the nearest place to get the surgery is Abq, NM with Dr. Smith. but for 5,000$$ less i can fly down to his surgery center in DFW texas and have it done there.. Since I am self pay, Texas it is. They even throw in two nights at a hotel less than a mile away.. (f.y.i I lived in Hawaii 07-09..)...The plan is to fly in do my appointments on thursday and then surgery on friday, stay the next day Sat. Then fly home Sunday. I hope i will be in good shape to fly and drive by then..?? The good news is, my mother is going to fly in as well for some support and some good tlc:) Love my mom:)

Just curious, are you noticing any difference with the band, as far a weight loss pre or post, and how is the liquid/ mushies phase??

Still wishing you all the best,

Jade**
