  1. I've researched and seen pics of Dr. Alejandro Cardenas's work. I've also talked with some of his very happy patients. He's in Monterrey MX. His prices are right but better yet his work is wonderful. I do have a mental date of Nov 17th...just before Thankgiving. That should give me all winter to heal. If I don't get my money by then (waiting on a settlement) then looking at January as well and will pull a loan. On avg. I'm loosing 3-4 lbs a month which should put me at goal (157) by next March :banana April 17th 06 I want to go to Belize!! I'm trying to plan everything.
  2. Thanks Kare, I really needed to see this. As soon as I get my money together I'll be doing my eyes, chin and tummy. I bruise easy as well so I'm expecting the worst. Odd how we have to go through hell for beauty. You look great!

  7. I'm so HAPPY for you! do take it easy. we've all been thinkin bout U
  8. Tricia It's been a long time...I'm so glad they found your leak and you got it fix! what an ordeal, sound a bit like my hole in the kink. Welcome home! Hi Sass, If your in my neighborhood, you better come see me. Pam, most docs fill the band during placement to insure it all works, then unfill it. Congratulations.
  9. Update please! Did they do a flouro-xray leak check with omniplaque?
  10. How cute, I always call mine a kidney bean. Glad everythings good!
  11. Thanks for the update angels

  13. Yes is does make the food go down...drinking anything pushes the food down to the lower stomach, thus the full feeling is gone and the hunger sets in.
  14. When I was newly banded and cooking for my kids, I'd catch myself putting food in my mouth then realizing what am I doing and spit it out...I didn't realize how much food I ate while cooking. I am guilty of trying stuff and spitting it out, just cause I want to taste it. very wrong and I should be slapped up side the head.
  15. I love the last pic the best! Looks like your having a wonderful summer. Thanks for sharing
  16. This is a 2 year old thread. How's everyone??? Happy 2nd Bandiversary!!!
  17. First of all have a safe and fun trip. There are lots to do in San Diego. Make sure you go to the zoo, that was one of my favorite places down there….and the beaches!!! There’s always that one family character that just doesn’t get it, life is too short to be playing games, yet we love them and even expect some crap. I'd love to see his face when he first see's you. I am real bad at comebacks and wish I had more wit. Last year when Billy’s sister came out I told Bill I don’t think I can take her complaining about her cottage cheese legs when she’s a size 4. Well, we got along really good and after she left I was saying to Bill how she was very pleasant. He said he talked to her when he picked her up from the airport…. Have a good trip
  18. she is so cute Thanks for postin pics and Congratulations Grandpa! :Bunny

  20. When I talked to Don Mills back in March 05, he said a solution other than saline was not recomended by Inamed and has asked that those who use it to sign a release of liability. Omniplaque is use to check for leaks. It is put in during a flouroscopy X-ray then removed once the leak is found. There might be a new solution by now that I don't know about??
  21. I'm the leak queen and becuse of my leak i've been re-banded. Most lesks are in the port, very easy to be re-placed. Do a search in the above bar for "Just my luck back to Mexico" under Vera or any other leaks stuff I said. (hypo-link??? help Penni?) There are leak checks your doc can perform any questions PM me good luck
  22. Hello I'm in Morgan Hill Ca, Have you checked out Dr. McKeen in San Jose? He's been flying cash patients to his Utah office for $14,500. they have the surgery there and after-care here. Well worth the sanity of haveing a doctor near by. FYI www.southbaybariatrics.com
  23. Crystal Let me know when you go to Calistoga, I can meet you there. Nancy's and The Calistoga Spa have the best mud. You also have to have my favorite masseuse, Harnee, give you a full body massage while your there. Go for the works!
  24. My current goal is to get up on water skis, I tried 2 months ago with no success. Since I just had my uterus removed a few weeks ago my doc says no excersize for 3 more weeks. If I ever get to goal of 157, currently 177. I want some PS on my chin (I don't have one), my eyes and a TT. While getting there I'm looking into deep sea diving, Billy is certified and has been to the Caymen Islands. He says diving in the Caribbean is breathtakeing. So my next big trip will be to Belize....
  25. Hi Carrie and welcome it's the truth.good luck
