I am curiopus if anyone has any experience with the Banner Baywood Bariatric center in Phoenix. I went to their informational seminar and am curious what others may have thought. Any help would be appreciated since I am now "shopping" for the right Doc. Thank you! Dave

I have a question for all of those desert dwellers out there with Bands. Do you get dehydrated easily? Are you still able to drink enough during the daytime to stay hydrated? I am just curious what I have to look forward to since mine will probably occur at the beginning of the summer and I have traditionally drank LOTS of fluids during the day. Any insight would be appreciated! Dave

I just flew delta and it was horrible. Stay away from the newer airplanes as they have accessories that are in bad places for larger people. I actually had to get a whole bunch of pillows to pad the seat up to get the radio controls out of my leg on the 5 hour flight from Atlanta. It was singularily the worst flight I have ever had. I did have a good friend who travelled for work and is a big guy himself recommend the older airplanes. Boeing 737-300's are good since they still have wider seats without the frills. Also, do not make the mistake I did. I requested an emergency exit row since in addition to my waist line, I am also 6'4" tall, to the extra legroom would be nice. It turns out that you cannot raise the seat arms on the emergency exit rows for some stupid reason. I wish you luck! Dave
