*slim* 2 Posted May 8, 2009 It must only be doctor Ponce that does that then. They would only schedule my first three with doctor ponce. I didn't see Brooke alone until my fourth fill. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

downsdc 0 Posted May 9, 2009 Are any of you attending the monthly support meetings at GBI? I have been to all but one of them (on vacation in March) since I was banded. Craig By the way, the "black headed chick" is Tiffany. :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Carrie_C 9 Posted May 9, 2009 I would like to attand the support group meetings, but I live in Cleveland and it is so far to drive. Plus I work late, so that's another reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*slim* 2 Posted May 9, 2009 I haven't been to any of the support meetings. By the time they start, I am just leaving work downtown. There is no way I could make it to them before they were over. I am thinking about doing the pouch test next week to see if that will help my fill situation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
downsdc 0 Posted May 10, 2009 What is the pouch test? Never heard of it... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*slim* 2 Posted May 10, 2009 It's basically a modified post op diet that is done over five days. It seems to shrink the pouch and also help break the carb cycle. I've done it once. You can google it for the full instructions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Carrie_C 9 Posted May 10, 2009 Tiffany's ok. She has been nice to me for the most part. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*slim* 2 Posted May 10, 2009 I think she's ok, I just do think that they should have more banded people there if for no other reason than to reassure patients about what they are going through. It helps when the person you are talking to knows from experience what you are talking about as opposed to just reading/hearing about it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
