I''m not a breakfast eater so this is all good news for me! thanks for the posts...

Yea i'm self pay and i'm going to mexico to a surgeon my director of nursing just went to A month ago, no one has ever died from this surgeon. I think people are predjudiced because it's mexico. If we said england or something people would think it was cool. I'm not prejudiced but i am going to save 15,000 or more by going there...

To the other poster, there have been MANY many successful lab-band surgeries in mexico. you only hear about the negative, and I've not heard of one HORROR story yet been researching mexico surgeries for a year. I'm a nurse and would not go somewhere for anything if I thought my life was in danger. Most complications have been incision site infections and this happens in the states and is usually due to the patient touching the incisions sites with dirty hands. do your own research & from people who have actually had surgery in mexico....

I called my surgeon's office, Dr Almanza and they said that he would but it would be full price of 4000.00 (because there may be something wrong with the old band and it would be best to just replace it while they're in there. The number is:1-855-753-3833 if you're interested. I go August 28th for my lb surgery. Like the other member said you would have to be SURE that your surgeon would still do your follow up care. More are these days, but I would make real sure... Keep us posted hope this was helpful.

it's not unusual to spike a little temp after surgery ( just the body's reaction to the procedure) but it's good to notify and see the doc just in case it is infection going on somewhere,,,,

Eww. Yuck. Thought I'd be thrilled to have my egg beaters this morning. But they taste gross!!! 2 bites and I was done. Oh well bring me a coffee protien Drink please lol

I had a hernia repair along with my band on Thursday. Getting better, not too much trouble with gas. My biggest problem is a sore abdomen but even that's getting better.

So, had LB on Monday, been an interesting ride. Started liquid diet on the 6th, lost 18lbs. Surgery on the 20th. When Doc went in, he found my stomach completely moved and adhered where it shouldn't have been. Probably a very old injury never detected. However it has had a major effect on me and my relationship with food, digestion. Lotta answers gotten. Anyway, fixed that, banded me. First day/night was hell. Got a lively cathador, sore and out of it. Tuesday much better. Went home. So as of Saturday I've lost nearly 30 lbs, feeling real good. sleeping great, minimal pain. Miss eating but not starving, miss the act of eating and chewing. Start with puréed foods Monday. Follow up visit. YEA!! Wife is doing well, not as well as me, she had a hernia repaired with her LB. causing some issues. Sorry to be long winded. Anyone struggling? Hang in, it gets better then great!

good luck to all of you tomorrow. I'm the next day...can't wait!

I want to zipline so bad! i"m going to one of these days. It looks like so much fun. Congratulations on your victories!
