Hello everyone,

I have been reading the posts that are all very informative, so I decided finally to join. Thank you for all the info. I was banded in Miami on July 14th and I am down from 289 to 234. It has been the best thing I have done for myself. I am getting stuck lately when I eat quickly and that has scared me . Anyone with similar experience.

Yes!! VERY!! How many fills have you had? Try to take smaller bites, slow down and chew better. Welcome to the board. I love it here!

Virgo,

Who did you have your surgery with? Are you pleased with the doctor? I'm living in Deerfield and am looking for a doctor. Do you know how many your doc has done?

I was Banded by Dr. Kuri out of Tijuana, Mexico. He is a fabulous doctor, who has banded over 800 patients. On yahoo there are groups you can go too, like MexicoBandsters, or TijuanaBandsters, that are FULL of information on doctors. I chose Dr. Kuri...because I didn't find ONE bad thing said about him, and the price was resonable. $8500. I do not think I could've found a better dr.

www.lapbandsurgery.com is his website...check it out. He is an excellent surgeon!
