Chrissy, I hope you feel better and I, too weep for the loss of your band...

Kasier would only approve the Bi-pass and it was a very lengthy process... Go luck!

I too had a great experience. As I sit here in my size 16 pants I realize how much a difference it made in my life. My 22-24's are long since given away and I owe it all to the caring Dr. Rodriguez I found in Monterray. This is the same Dr. who took my mom to lunch while I was recovering and paid her way to Mx. The same Dr who just called to check in on me, just because. He answers his phone ...oh and called mmy husband back in california when I came out of surgery. HMMM how many American Drs do the same. I have had slower progress probably because I have to stay in contact by phone and email... however my insurance wanted me to have a bi-pass and wait another year (which I am sure would have killed my knees) I feel blessed...BTW I do need a fill anyone have info for Dr. Kuri I would appriciate it. Thanks!

I am soo glad... It has saved me on many occasions too. glas to see your better today!

Lauri About the brownie you did way better than I, I probably would have ate that peice and then the rest of the pan... I am an emotional eater. Then I would have said "See what you made me do!" lol ') Oh and I am not joking. Then my poor hubby would appologise and not know what he had done. I tell him that my weightloss is my responciblity and he is not to try and "HELP"

I want to get a fill because I can eat what I want but I need fill info no one will help me.

My port is just above the bellybutton on the left side. I have never felt it except when it itched while it was healing. Oh and after the one fill I had:)

Well I am ready and now I know I have to go to TJ to get my second fill. I have no experience there and I am kind of scared. From what I have been reading it seems as if Dr Kuri is my guy. Could someone please give me his number to get an appointment. I would like to go on the 20th of Dec. And I don't know how to get intouch or how to get there. So thanks for the info in advance.

Great News! I am so glad to hear it Penni!!!!

Hey everyone...wow I have been mesmorised with the drama of this post...it reads like a whacky novel. I am never going to be sick again.... I miss to much. I must admit though Margret seems a little loopy. She talks about random things but I just couldn't turn away it was like watching a train wreck!

I am soooooo sorry for all the drama and pain all of you are going through... and I ditto what the previous person said I am glad I did not have the misfortune to use that DR.

I don't have any hanging skinn and I was 299 when I started this journey. I hope it stays that way since I am only down 1/3 of my weightloss goal.

Thanks again everyone...blessings and good wishes!

undefined :eek: My Dad called me yesterday about his test results. It seems like there is a non agressive form of lukemea and he has it. He will still need to be watched but he says he is going to out live me. I cried for the first time when I heard this. And I don't mean sniffs and one little tear. I thought I was being brave, but I realize I was just avoiding the fear of loosing him. But I know it's the love and support of all of you that made this possible along with all the prayers. Thanks to everyone.

My insurance would only pay for gastric bypass soo I up the 10,000 and flew away to MX... I do wish I had a closer dr... but I have had no problems. I would of had a $5 co pay if I had gone through Kasier

Hey yall I see that a few of us are on line if you want to chat tonight I am going into the chat room at 9:50

Ditto to what paula said...if you had anorexia no one would bother you and get in your buisness they would just want you to get help...I had the same problem and now that I have begun to take off the weight the same people say things like "wow you look great" and they seem to forgoten that they were not supportive. The truth is that most people just care about results. Next time cut her off and realize that all of us are standing behind you...You can't see us but we are there. And smile and tell her it's really none of her buisness. ANd if she continues on give her my number 1(800) shut the hell up!

I checked bedfore I went to my dr in Mex an they only cover gastric bypass

I love it I love it I love it!!!!

Pam, Kathy, Delarla and Marie, You must realize what an extreem support you are being right now. Thank you. I am stronger today because of your thoughts and prayers. I know that I can get through this. It's not me that I am most concerned for, nor is it my father really. My sister has such a bad relationship with him I know that she is goint to peices. I wish that she and I were closer, but we have never been. She is a little manic and I always got on her nerves. Well maybe through this she and I can learn to get along. If only for my dad.

I have "NO" thyroid... had it removed and my Dr. did not care...

Spoke to my Dad today... He is in very good spirits. He went through his blood test yesterday and so I will soon know what we are dealing with. I am glad to here though that we are the same blood type o-. I don't know if that will mean anything, but it makes me feel better. Thanks Jodi and blossom for your encouraging words.... I love all of you! :knockedou

If I drink with a meal my meal comes right back up.

Jodie, I have no advice... I only have love and prayers for you. I hope that all goes well and your husband keeps his word. Def see a lawyer asap!

I take glucosimine and the pills are huge... I have no problem.
