    Mexico Banders?

    Hi, I want to contact Dr. Aceves to make an appt to see him. Can you give me his phone number/address thanks, Jess
  5. Hi Pink, You and I got banded about the same time, 11/21 was my date. So far I've only lost 11 lbs, but I did get a fill last week because during the holidays I was eating lots of sweets and other high calorie foods. Once I got the fill, I noticed the difference immidately and now I'm back to eating small meals and staying away from the wrong food. Get a fill and that will put you back on track. You are doing well, keep working it. Jess

    November Bandsters!

    Hi Everyone, Here is my update since I had the band on 11/21. I had my first fill on 1/5. I could immediately tell the difference, now I can only eat a small amount of food before I have to stop. I tried pushing it a bit on Friday night and had my first PB, not a good thing but not as horrible as I had thought it would be, Now I know when I need to stop so it does not happen again. My weight is coming off slow, but that's OK, I was just happy that I did not gain during the holidays since at that time i could pretty much eat anthing. I think this band will work, I just need to give it time. Jess pre-surgery 193 band 11/21 190 current 182

    Dr. Rumbaut or Rodriguez?

    hi Judy, I had my surgery with Dr. Rumbaut on Nov 21. He and his staff were very good, same thing goes for the hospital. Recovery was fast and not too painful. Within a few weeks I felt like if I never had surgery. Jessie

    November Bandsters!

    Hi Guys, I had my surgery on 11/21, did 3 days of liquids before that and I'm still on liquid and so far I've only lost 5 lbs which is sooo very depressing since I'm hungry in the evening and have to live on protein shakes and soups which is starting to drive me crazy. I do feel good, back to normal, no pains, no more gas, but tired of protein shakes. I'm trying not to let it get to me, but when I see other people who are losing good amount; it just makes me wonder, how long will it take me to lose some weight? I start on mussy next week, can't wait to have something other than liquids. jess

    November Bandsters!

    Hi, I had my band on Nov 21, it was not as bad as I had expected, except for the gas pains and I swear I was hunger yesterday. I feel a lot better today, I plan on going for a walk to relieve the gas. I do have to try to drink more water. Jess 193/s190/c188 Dr. Rumbaut, Mx

    November Bandsters!

    Thanks for thinking of us! I'm on day 3 of my pre-op diet. I've lost 1 1/2 lbs, tomorrow I go to the hospital a 7am. I'm nervous about what my life will be like after tomorrow and hope I'm one of those people who has success with the band. Best of luck to all. Jess

    November Bandsters!

    Hello, I'm a November bandster. My surgery date is Nov 21 with Dr. Rambuat in Monterrey Mexico. No Thanksgiving for me this year, but that's OK. I can live without a huge meal this year. I'm really excited to start this new chapter. I only need to do a 3 day liquid diet so that should be easy enough. Good luck to all of us! Jess

    Hello from Texas!

    Hello Everyone, I finally made the decision to do something about the 60 lbs extra pounds I've been carrying around for years. My surgery is going to be on Nov 21 with Dr. Rambaut in Monterrey Mexico. Like everyone else who is new at this, I'm worried that I may be one of those person for whom the band does not work, but I've got to go forward and do this once and for all. I'll be joining the November group.
  15. Hi Roxy123, I'm in the same boat, trying to decide on Rambaut or De La Garza. I live close so I guess I'll make an appointment and speak to both. Rambaut is 10,600 and De La Garza is 8700, but cost is not the most important thing, it's their track record.
