  1. Geez Lisa My Billy was just asking about you this morning. Just remember un-banded people think about you as well. Now As far as this so called doctor?? The kind of irate person I am. If I lived anywhere near you I would go to one of his seminars act like some interested person, ask allot of questions. Then just start bashing him in front of a huge crowd.
  2. Estela and Blossom Every good doctor or radiologist, blind fill or done under flouroscopy should remove all the previous saline (or air if it's your first fill).
  3. Penni, look at your User CP, bottom of the page.
  4. Such a cute pic in your profile. You scuba and are building a house in Bali...Too cool. As far as Mom, that's a though one. I traveled a distances to get my band and everything was just fine not a single problem. But It sounds like you need to tell her, perhaps make it sound very minor as to not worry her. Ya, I don't know your Mom...your very close to her. There are several bansters here that haven't told anyone and come here for support. Wishing you the best and welcome.
  5. Hey Spunky :banana :banana :banana Whatz up?
  6. Thanks Leo. Yes, I'm very aware of erosion. Brenda is so lucky to get re-banded. Most erosions I've heard about have to wait 6 months to be re-banded.
  7. Brenda, Thanks for the update. I'm glad your doing so well, and congratulations on getting a new band. Leo, I've never heard of "corosion"...stomach that had prolapsed over top of the band. I'm guessing it's a form of severe slippage.
  8. I'm off the scale....Havn't been on one for weeks.
  9. I'm so glad everything went through. I take it your home? Sound like it wasn't as trastic as last years Panni. Did you have some abdominal work done also "On-Q pain pump in the belly ". It is amazing
  10. Hi TMarie, Congratulation I live in Morgan Hill, Who's your doctor?
  11. Hi Mercy Congratulation from Morgan Hill California. Who's your Doctor in Roseville?
  12. Go get that fill, with most people, the band doesn't work without one. Then eat hard proteins. chicken till you hiccup. A doc told me a long time ago people can survive on very little...water, vit's and protein. Hang in there, it takes time
  13. Thanks Penni! I was wondering how she was.
  14. Wow Blue Eyes, you look great! Thanks Penni

    Hello Brenda, Hey Bobby

  19. I'm sure some of us got a PM...Sue me! I don't want to look at that site ever again shes so it's up to the doctor to give you after-care..sue him :dead :dead :dead
  20. Dwayne I've been to Monerrey Mx, it is a very large city with 5 universities, most of them medical. Is this where he normaly practices? Besides being aware...I so feel for you. wish I could do more, please, tell more This chaps my hide
  21. Thanks Penni Everyone looks great! I just can't believe some of the differences. God Bless the BAND!
  22. The way Dr. McKean did it was, To fill with contrast while watching under fluoroscopy to see if the contrast leaks out. Don Mills of Inamed suggested the same process when I spoke with him yesterday. Is there any other ways?
