kerryconner 0 Posted July 13, 2008 Hi Huggie Bear! I was reading my posts and saw that you were going to add someone to the "1st Fill" list. I am having my first fill on August 29th. I had my surgery on June 17th, and didn't want to wait quite so long but it was the only time slot I could get. If there is a list somewhere, would you please add me to it? Thanks, Kerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

c5711 0 Posted July 14, 2008 Hi all I am from Beautiful British Columbia Canada. It is an amazing part of Canada. I live in a small town and we have a ton of outdoor fun. My husband of 10 years is in the logging business, we have 2 daughters Mackenzie (11) and Saige (3 almost 4) and a dog of 15 years Whisky. We have a ski hill and I manage the food and beverage department. I have 4 months a year off which is summer. Our winters are long 6 months and can be cold. I was banded June 17 with my friend by Dr. Rummbraut in Mexico and he was amazing!!! I feel good but am getting hungry now. I am excited for this journey and can't wait till the first fill!!!! Nice to meet you all and here your introduction to the June o8 bandsters Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kerryconner 0 Posted July 14, 2008 Hi There1 I to was banded in Mexico by Dr. Kuri in Tijuana on June 17th. I believe most all of the other patients that had surgery along with me were from Canada. I myself, am from a small town in Oregon, USA. I to can relate to the hunger starting to creep up, and it is VERY scary! I will be having my first fill on August 29th which seems like a year away! It was the only schedule the Dr. could fit me in. I have to travel 100 miles to Portland, OR for my fill. All of the folks I met from BC were the kindest ever and I still keep in contact with one family who were fellow bandster's on that glorious day. I must say I have had an amazing recovery thus far and wouldn't change a thing about the whole experience. Good Luck to you! Kerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
