Hello!! I work in a dental office and the best stuff on the market is call smartmouth!! It will work for all bad breath!! The only time that it will not work is if you have untreated gum disease! I have been using it for about 10 years!! I will not go with out it!

The Doc that I went with is Dr. Mark kadawoki and he has a couple of offices. I live in Racine, Wi. I First went to his office in liberityVille. You only have to go to the one downtown 2 times. The first time was for all the blood work, nurtionalist, and ekg. The second time was for the lap band. You don't go back for fills, you go to the doc office for that ! I would say go to lapband site and see if there is a surgeon that is near your house!! If not Dr. Galvani will be your surgeon. You will go back to his office for all your fills. I Have not gotten my first fill yet but i have lost 20lbs all ready! I LOVED THE SEMINAR!!! I learned so much.

Hello!!! I was just banded with day one health on 4/3!! The staff was great and walk me through everything!! I would have to say the worst part about it was that it is down town Chicago!! What doc are you going with?

You could have a sinus infection and don't even know you have it! If it is draining down your throat that can cause a sore throat . I would go have it looked at

Are you drinking when you are eating? I was told that if you drink that the food will go down fast and you would not get the fullness feeling as soon!! I was told not to drink any thing for a Half hour before and a half hour after?:hungry:

MyDoc told me that the band was for life and the only reason to have it replaced is if they came back with a better band!!!

Hello! I just got banded on Tuesday!! 4/3/07 I am sore!!! I the only problems that I have now is getting in and out of bed! Some times getting out of a chair, but not to often. A body pillow or 2 really help me get comfortable in bed to sleep! Just get out of bed and walk ! Even if it is just walking in your bed room!! The pain is getting less and less everyday!! The area the I am really having the pain is under my left ribs. I think that is where my port is. I having been placing an ice pack on that and It really seemed to help. I have not been hungry till yesterday and I eat a little yogart. But I am not hungry!!!:biggrin1:

Hi Everyone from Wisconsin!!! Glad I am not the only one !! It seems like everyone from around here has not heard of the lapband. They just look at me like I am crazy!!! I am Little scared I get band on Tuesday! So where in wisconsin is everyone from? I am in Racine

I am having my Banding next week Tuesday ! I can't wait ! The cost was 16,000. But that included all test I had before had. All the Fills and doc visits for one year afterwards.

I get banded on the 4-3-07. I can't wait! I think alot of people are not using it as a tool but as the only means of losing weight! I really think that people are just relaying on the band. I have meet a couple of people that have been banded and they are losing alot fast but they are really using it as a tool.

what about canada? Family might fell better!

Is the cost the problem? why mexico?
