Members Being Banded In March 06

Nan, my worries and fears are the same. All we can do is come here for the support we need and for me, put my trust in the higher power that led me to this.

Well I am shocked! My Dr, Dr. Mumford from Mississauga Ontario just called to see how I was holding out and if I had any questions before the big day on Thurday. He also wanted me to know he had sent in the insurance papers for what litttle coverage I have. Gee, I am really impressed!

Welcome back Islandmom! How was it??

[islandmom 0]

It was good. The Dr's and nurses were all terrific. I am glad to be home though! It is nice to sleep in your own bed after all that! Overall the whole experience was good! I would do it again.

Hi Islandmom,

I understand you were just banded at Bajanor. I am so ready to do this and would love any info you are willing to share. I have contacted Dr. Carlos but do not have insurance so I have to save up a bit more before I can schedule my banding date. What band did you get and how do you feel? Do you live on the West Coast? I live in Oregon.

Hope to hear from you soon! And Congratulations on making such a great decision! ~Janelle~

Hi Janelle,

I got the Inamed band. I just got home on 3/5 and I am feeling pretty good. I do have the gas and a bit of bloating, but am doing fine otherwise. Just doing a little here and there and enjoying the "fabulous" liquid phase. I will get to be on mushies on Saturday, so I am looking forward to that and kinda nervous too. I haven't had any "real" food since Thursday. I live in Texas, so it was a bit of a haul to get there and back, but I am very glad to say that "I did it!" I will be happy to answer any questions, just let me know.

Kristi, What made you choose the Inamed band over the others? And what did you think about Bajanor?

~Janelle~

Janelle,

I chose the inamed band because it is easier to find after care here in tx

Thanks Kristi. I am in the process of trying to find someone in Eugene, Oregon who does fills. If anyone knows of anyone please let me know. My Physician is on a missionary trip to Guatamala and won't be back for a few weeks...
