  2. I’m so glad you went strait home, bummer about having to wait an hour for your meds. Thanks for calling me and taking my phone calls. Folks when I called Lisa 18 hours after she had surgery, she sounded awful. All I could think about was Lisa should be up and walking…. Sweetheart I’m so glad everything is over and your home and I’m glad Chris went with you. He might be a knuddlehead sometimes and not always have the right thing to say but he Loves you. Wow 2 hours without a word, that must be a record! Great pics
  3. Let's chuck that baseball to 3 base. Thoughts with you

  5. It so bites! Inamed sould be accountable for how the band is placed, the port changes and why. I'm starting to wonder about the J&J or the swedish bands insindent's of eriosion. I need to see a long...5 and more year study, not just the clinical studies

    Thanks!!! I Love #4 the best.
  7. If you wern't trying but 'doing it alot' you'll have a girl, I'm guessing you want a boy cause you already have 2 beautiful girls! Shirina your husband is a doll (I've met him) he has such a low back, kind, caring personality, enjoy being with child. Last we talked, you have a snug fill, don't worry about weight gain at this point as long as you don't eat for 5 like I did. All I ever wanted to do while being preggy was eat and sleep, and that's hard with 2 kids under 5. Congratulations and Merry Christmas! Corinne congrats too My guess is July 11 (my birthday)!
  8. Lisa my heart hurts really badly for you. Let me know what I can do? Will you be coming into Calif? Try and push for emergency surgery. Make the doctor claim it’s a matter of life and death so you’re insurance will kick in. I’m so pissed off. This is bull s***. This “ Cluster” is causing a lot of heartache, pain, suffering and money. Someone should be acountable for this. I read that not only has the technique that some doctors use changed but I also read that Inamed changed their port design about a year ago. You all have had Inamed bands I don’t think we should walk away…someone has to pay. If it were I or 2 erosions, but not 5 and up in a few months time. I’m going to try doing more research. I Love you guys
  9. That is SO cool! Brake a leg
  10. I'm at 27.2 currently from 39.9 good job Michelle
  11. Did you know he was a cardiac surgeon out of Houston before getting into gastric surgery
  12. I love Dr. Sanchez! Glad to hear this report. I had one of those sweedish bands, it didn't erode just a tubing leak that couldn't be fixed so he re-banded me with an 9.75 Inamed band. Dr. Sanchez fan club!
  13. I'm like Sue, I flew half way across the country to Monterrey Mexico for Dr. Sanchez. He sure has taken care of me with my leak and free re-banding.
  14. Thanks Christina! I've been trying her cell every other hour. Inside I know she's not ready to talk to anyone just yet...I'm so glad we had time to talk before surgery, she's just so special. Welcome back sweets
  15. Dang Pat, it's been a year! You ROCK
