  3. Hey there- I understand what you mean. I just had my first fill the other day and I can say wow what a difference!! I tried eating a piece of cheese and turkey today and I didn't chew it enough and it felt like the most uncomfortable pain ever--Never felt anything like it. Keep up the good work and hope your future fills are good!
  4. Please,,, Any feed back?? He is a Lap Band Doc in Cancun and he uses the amerimed hospital. If you have any feedback it would be greatly appreciated!!
  5. Hey Mike,

    Yes the pre op diet is hard but it is totally worth it. I just had my surgery on Friday the 22nd and the doctor said that i did such a great job that he only had to do 4 insicions instead of 5. Now that the surgery is over and i think that i am starting to recover I am remaining focused on my journey ahead. I hope that all goes well with you.

  6. Hey Everyone!! My Surgery is in ONE week from today and I have been "on" the pre op diet Since Jan 4th. I started to do a shake for Breakfast and lunch and a small dinner....NOw I find myself with Three shakes a day, sugar free Jello and broth. This is very Very Hard to do. I feel like my insides are eating eachother and psychologically can't get past the not eating idea. I have tried projects to keep busy, early to work and it still doesn't help me at 8 o'clock when I need a snack. Does anyone have some tips????:tt1: ALso, I would like to Super COngratulate anyone who has TRULY stuck with this diet.... :thumbup: I am so excited for my band and can't wait to be a Real Bandster. XOX LOLA
  7. Thank you for that. I keep thinking that it will be worth it and just to hold strong. You have done well--Congrats. Would you do it all over again? I am drinking some broth right now...Dreaming of the future.

    Using FSA/HSA Funds for Lap Band in Mexico

    I am in the same boat that you are in. I assigned the full ammount of 5000 to my FSA account. There is a way around it.... email me and I will let you know what I am doing. Luminouslife424@yahoo.com Its sort of tricky and I don't want anyone to judge me. LOLA
  9. Hey Somedayslim-- I have been looking everywhere on someone that had gone to Cancun and had Dr. Ceron and Perez take care of them. I found your story today and Just hearing that the overall experience was good brought tears to my eyes. I have been waiting and battling insurance companies for so long and I finally decided to go to Mexico and I found Dr. Ceron. I just wanted to thank you for sharing your story. You have given me the extra courage that I was looking for. I know that it said you stayed at a resort-- Any good suggestions on where to stay??

     

    Thank you and hope to talk to you soon.
