I knew this was a sensitive issue so I didint want to post a message, or tread on anyones toes. However, I was quite put out by this malicious attack on Doctor De la garza. I really found him to be a competant man with a professional approach to his medical practice. I understand that this procedure can bring about complications. However, indivuduals that had surgery with Dr. De La Garza will be completley discouraged by these posts. I too second the motion to have this thread removed as there are no grounds for it.

NO Way. Amother Irsh person I dont believe it. Us Irish really do get around for such a small nation. When I was awya for the summer I could not believe the amount of Irish people I met and this was half way acroos the world in Asia. Congrats on ur restriction bright. It really is a good feeling but can be a bit discouraging at times as it can be uncomfortable. Well its 8.39 on a saturday morning and here I am in work while most people are sound a sleep in bed. Its not fair. Plus Im getting really irate callers. im really not in the humour.

God i have not been here for ages. Ive been so busy with college and work. Bright Im living in Dublin City centre. Not by choice I might add. Solely because of college. Did u watch that programme on channel4 about the real da vinchi code. It was good but proved how what a load of rubbish it really was. Its a great book u cannot take that away from it but its pure fiction and documentary portrayed this excellently. Bandlife is good. I really feel like I am in the right frame of mind to apply this new regime to my life. I think this is vital to anyones success. Maintaining a consistent approach to ur soul and mind. Bloody hell what am I trying to say. Finding the balance thats what it is. I need to find that balance. I was banded in Mexico. Along way I know but the doctor and staff were great. I did experience alot of pain after the surgery. I was not prepared for this. Everyone seemed to leave the hospital after 2 days or so some even on the same day. WHAT. There was no way i could have managed that. I felt like I went through 10 rounds wIth Mike Tyson. The pain was so bad.

Hey Bright, Can I first say that u look amazing in ur picture. I bet you are a right looker. I cant give u any advice about ur fill but thanks a million for the Pm. It was very informative. I was banded only fours weeks ago so Im still a rookie. I never thought I would meet an Irish person in here. I trully thought I was the only person on the green Isle that had the band fitted. It makes me feel more normal, no normal is not the right word, not so isolated I suppose. Although It really feels like ur cut off from the medical world in Ireland, like if anything goes wrong who do u go to. Ive been reading up on some of ur posts and lts almost like u feel discouraged about ur weightloss. For GODS SAKE WOMEN U HAVE LOST 70 POUNDS. I REPEAT 70 POUNDS. Give ur self a break. Sure ur grand as we say here in Ireland. In fact u look great. What about the weather here eh? Its been freezing almost every night so this restricts me getting in some excercise in the evenings. I think I might join the gym in college.

Hey Mom is smaller, Did u get ur fill yet or did u go back to monterrey. Im in the same situation. I was also banded by Dr. Javier but its not very practical for me to travel to Mexico. Did u have trouble finding a doctor to do the fill?

Yeah that would be great ladiebird, I could then contact him myself. How long did your fill take? Did you have to saty over night?

Hey ladiebird, Im loking to get a fill in europe. Can you tell me where it was u got yours. Are doctors reluctant to do a fill if thay have not fitted the band.

Hey Ezzysmom, Good luck with your pregnancy. Could you tell me a little bit more about your PCOS. Im confused as the whether i have this or not. Last year I went for a blood test and nothing odd showed up. What symptoms did you get and how did you detect it. Thanks.

Maybe a stupid question but when u drink liquids, does it go straight to the kidneys or go through the stomach first. Im confused. Does yoghurt go through the stomach.?

Hey, I had my surgery a week ago. Im feeling alright but just a litlle bored with the diet at this stage. Im not from America so when u say broth does that just mean regular Soup in a packet or even a quick stirr in. Are smoothies ok for the first two weeks. I was on Jello and juices at the hospital.

" OCA hospital really old", thats crazy talk. Anyway it shouldnt really be about the conditions its the surgeon thats important. If your repuatable doctor was so comfortable with his own situation he wouldnt feel the need to knock another surgeons work on absolutely no ground but facillities. The operating room is exactly like any other. Dr. javier attends conferences all around Europe where I might add the whole lap band surgery originated. Anyway if u do go to Mexico you will find out for yourself. I do not work for them by the way. I dont even live in the USA. Well good luck with ur surgery if u decide to go ahead with it.

Hey amoro, Ive just had my lap band surgery a few days ago with Dr, Javier in Monterrey. I can truely say he is a professional. All the staff are so friendly at Lite n free. I just got home today. Im feeling ok. Every day gets easier. Ive experienced a lot of pain particularly in my shoulder blade. I thought it was due to the way I was sleeping but thanks to this site I found it is down the the gas.
