No I am sorry I don't. I don't like to solicit...

Really?? I have never been anyones favorite before! Yeah!!! lol:D

Marie. Knee was better today. I bought the drugs and a friend told me about coral Calcium. He says it does wonders...so when I see my Dr. This weekend I am going to ask him what I shoud take I am so glad that I get to see Dr. R this weekend I have so many questions. Hope You feel better. The funny thing is my husband has been limping and saying his knee hurts also. Maybe it's in the air. I hope you feel better.

Haven't even thought of begals since the banding... to worried about getting them down.

When I did atkins I remember the 21 days it took not to crave the sugar. (BTW) It never really happend. I was ready to jump someone for a begal which I found out s probalby that my body wanted sugar. I love sweet things but I have never really been a depressed person. I am an extreem extrovert however. Hummm maybe this book is for me?:cry

Thanks Marie... you are a wealth or knowlege. I am not in pain although I am hobbling a bit. I am buy the celebrex after school...

Third graders require way too much attenion for me to sit... But I will rap it tonight and elevate it with pillows so maybve tomorrow I can get through the day... And Yes Marie the weightloss is helping... Boy I can't wait to salsa again:D

Welcome Mitzi, You are the second one I know. I have a soror named Mitzi... what a trip! Welcome sounds as if your doin great!

Welcome, Welcome welcome! I too was banded in June. Good luck! Keep up the gtreat success!

My problem is that I stand all day long on it because of teaching. Then I coach at the University and workout... Well the working out is out for now. I don't belong to a gym or I would def do the water arobics...beside sounding funm it's so damn hot out that I would do anything to get out of the heat. So tomorrow off to Sam's I go there is one right down the street from my school. Thanks Marie! :eek: :eek:

Maybe it's the heat. I could not keep anything down today. I wished I only had pb once.... what it must be like.

It sounds very normal...but stick to the rules liquids only... your stomic has to heal. You don't want to cause any slippage. Good Luck!

My friend had the RNY along with a co worker and she lost and her co worker ate through her procedure. She came home from the hospital and had a grill cheese sandwich. She said it was the most painful thing in her life. Anyhoo I say all this to say that people don't know a lot about the band yet and so they don't trust it. They have seen a lot of pub about the other one and not nearly enough on how much damage it actualy does. When I mention that I had weight loss surgery they are quick to ask if I had my stomic stappled or had the rny. So there is not a lot of knowlege out there about the band. But as an aside it sounds as if her friend knew the difference and choose the more dangerous procedure... Just my 2 cents

Well your no longer an island...we are here for support. I too went to monterrey but not to dr. Rumblaut. Good luck. Ingnore the ignorant. Monterrey is beautful and the hospital matches anything we have here. Rica;)

Thanks Marie I will try that... Where did you get it GNC? I rap and Ice my knee at night... but the only thing that I find that works well is my anti inflams...which I have now put down. But I am up to try anything!

BTW Bright you are absolutly georgous!

I wish I had that problem... 42 DD wow. I am loosing what I had of the C cups that I was so proud of... I think I am going shopping at playtex half size barley C LOL:D

Thanks everyone! I will go and get the Glucosimine. I do the topical treatments. It's not that I am in pain. It is indeed uncomphy... and the knee tends to buckle but I am lucky there is only an occasional buckle. On the bright side it does get me out of house work with my husband... He always tries a little harder when the knee looks like this. But I have never been one to sit for long. I have a call in the aptment line and My Sports Dr. is pretty good at getting back to me. I havent told her about the opperation yet so I am going to look up all I can find so that she can give me good advice. Thanks again eveyone... Hobble ,Hobble, hobble....:think

Lisa, Yes naming her has helped but it was not my idea...someone on another chat said it and it seemed like she has a personality so I went with it... Good luck on your Band...What are you going to name her? I call mine Jamie summers because my husband calls me the 10,000 bionic woman, LOL

You Look Great...Good for you... I would wear um...just don't sit in em...lol :alien :alien :alien :alien :alien

I haven't had a fill yet and Jamie (My Band) cames and goes as she pleases. The ohter night nothing...Last nigh two bites and I was done. I wonder if has something to do with our bodies retention of water???

So this whole process started because under the advice of my Dr. I was told I needed to loose 100lbs to save my knees. I tried and tried and now that I have found my answer to the weight, I can't get my knee to cooperate. It is so swollen now that it looks deformed. In the past I just to the anti inflams and iced. That did the trick. Now I can only ice... It's not working. I want to workout and I can't. It's like God is testing me. I know I need to go back to Kaiser but my sports physician takes forever to get into and the regular Dr.s will give the exact opposite advice as My sports physician. They put me on crutches that do nothing but make your muscles weak...or worse yet tell you to stay off of it. Well I know from years of this problem that is horrible advice. But I am stuck because I know I need an new mri and anti inflams but I don't want to harm my band... What the hell am I suppose to do? Anyone have good advice:confused:

I have actually heard of the lady from Dr. Rodriguez's associate patti about bashing Dr. R. I choose to leave it at a misunderstanding. I think in the competative world we are dealing with, there are always going to be seedy people. But to know him is to love him I say!
