Becareful i travel out of the country all the time and the band will swell with heat in the tropics i have gotten a fill and went to jamaica and couldnt hardley get Water down for 3 weeks. so with that being said u never want to leave the country within a month of a fill first fill or not it is not a good idea. if by chance u had problems there is no help for the band on a ship or most foreign countrys. i would wait till u got back hope this helps. oh and have a great trip and do some snorkling while u are there.

BWESLEY replied to MinkysMom's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
i have united health care and they have a 40bmi rule and they dont streach on it becareful resumitting it if it is denied twice thats i.t the best thing is to gain 5 pounds eat salt and drink alot of water before appt and they will approve u i was 39 bmi and gained 4 pound to be over the threshold. good luck -
Just got my approval .... BUT...
BWESLEY replied to krafticus's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
you should really wait till u get back. you will not enjoy your vacation if u do it before and should let your self total heal about 6 weeks before doing the rides. you could alway start your liquid on the vacation or just wait. good luck -

I had the same thing months ago. Had 1/2 cc taken out and a round of precid and it went away the problem with the acid reflux is it can cause damage if u dont get it cleared up. Make sure to folow up with your dr. Milk seems to help. I had is so bad that i vomited acid no fun at all.

I can tell you the band is a comement and it will be a wonderful thing for u in your life and at your age there in no better time than to just do it for your health and your self confandance. I would do it all over again with out even a second thought. if you have question u should come in to chat u can get some answers from people that been banded a while. I hope that you will put all your fears a side and do it for u good luck
