Awesome! Thanks for sharing.

So I'm going to flagstaff, AZ tomorrow. The elevation is 6,910 feet above sea level and it has me worried. I just got a fill today Friday 9/7/12 of 1/2 cc for total of 8cc in a 14 cc band. I asked my doctor if it was ok to go, she said yes but my band would get tighter but I should be fine. Has anyone expircenced being in high elevation with band?? Please comment, I'm super nervous

For me I love to shop and buy new clothes all the time but I have found myself slowing down since I won't be in the same size for to long. Ive always been after good deals though, I don't know if you have a DD's discount or Ross near your area but I can find shirts and bottom for a steal 3.99 to 9.99 on tops and bottoms no more than 14 dollars. Also I have a couple of friends I sell my clothes to when they don't fit or have a yard sale to get cash for new clothes. Also check at your doctors office for support groups, mine has a group that exchanges clothes every month. Best wishes!

I was banded in the us, and my surgeon but almost 6 cc during surgery, without me knowing. I had somewhat of a set back due to tightness and lump in my throat feeling. My other doctors " his colleges", emptied my band and we babied my process...

My doctors orders are 24 hours liquids, 24 hour mushie, then back to solids "as tolerated" unless I feel like I need more time on mushies

So happy to hear that:) I do want a taste of my culture now and then! Yippee hope I'm as lucky.

Has anyone tried eating papusas or temales? I know I'll never be able/or want to eat as much of theses yummy foods. But just wanting to hear from other bandsters, about their experiences with these foods.

Congrats!

Well I had an amazing salad with no problems. So happy great eats all
