Hey March Bandsters!!!

I just figured i should update....40 lbs gone.

Staying on top of my workout regimen has been critical for me.

I have given up white bread entirely. It just goes down too hard.

Other than that, my energy level is up and I hope to continue losing the weight!

Stay motivated guys!!

When I first got banded, I had the hiccups for a solid week. It eventually went away. If I recall, my doctor told me that you can get hiccups if you eat too much too fast.

I think I have the flu or something. All day I've been nauseous and running to the bathroom to use the toilet. (sorry!) On top of that I have this terrible pain in my stomach and I've gotten the hiccups 3 times. Each time lasting 30 minutes or more. Anyone know what we get hiccups from? Or whether it's related to illness or anything of the sort? Thanks for any information. =)

Hi everyone - I am new to this site and would appreciate your help. After going through all the prerequisites for the lapband, my insurance company denied me last week. Just met with my surgeon Friday who told me that my best bet would be to be banded in Mexico and he would do the consequent fills. Does anyone have any recommendations with surgeons in Mexico? Some websites look really cheesy.... the only one that looks somewhat credible is Dr. Kuri. I really would appreciate your input!!

PS. Never been on a discussion forum before, so I hope I am doing this right!

I had Lap Band surgery in Cancun. Mexico on March 4th

It was essentially a mini-vacation!

The total cost of the surgery was $5,400.

My hotel stay for three days came to $230 at the Westin Hotel.

I scheduled through BeLiteWeight and everything was perfect!!

Jessica, my facilitator was GREAT.

She pretty much held my hand through the

Dr. Ceron and Dr. Corzo were top notch. The facilities and cleanliness were what i would expect in any US hospital...maybe even more!

If you are gonna go to Mexico, check them out!

Feel free to direct message me if you have any more questions!!!
