  3. Hey, thanks so much for responding to my post. What did Dr. Mosser's office say? Is he familar with the Lap band? I have not had a consult with Dr. Bermudez and yes he is in the same are in sAn Francisco. Let me know what you find out about your guy. you can email me at tmarieseigal@yahoo.com
  4. Well, I think I'v lose as much as this body will let me, so its time for me to consider a tummy tuck and maybe leg work. Does anyone on this board live in the San Francisco Bay Area if so can you suggest a good plastic surgeon? I heard of Dr. Bermudez who has done tone of lap band tummy tucks, but I also want a kind careing person also. Please if you can help me please please do.

  6. Tumescent, Recovery, Results, Scar, Best Beverly Hills Doctor Seems to be a good alternative to surgery. (traditional tummy tuck) I wrote them and ask if they can do banded people. Please let me know what you think. Thanks
  7. that is a lot - I pay $300.00 and I thought that was a lot. Go to Obesityhelp.com, I think that is alink there for fill doctors.:ranger:
  8. Yes there are doctors who will fills on Mexico patients - you just have to contact them and ask and ask how much. Where do you live?
  9. thanks I was hoping you would reply - I keep wondering if I have stenth my stomach. You are a wise man!
  10. Thanks, I see you are from San Jose, I live in Hayward and Dr. Cirangle is my doc with surgery and the fills. I was really nervous about going but He was really nice and helpful
  11. :clap2: Well, its been 2 years since my last fill - My last one was a 2.3 cc's I was getting concerned because I felt I didn't have the restriction I had before and I was worried thaT i HAD A leak. I went to see my doc and he said I still had 2.3cc's in my band:confused:. then why don't I have the same restriction I had before? My weight had said the same so why would my stomach strench? Well I had him put 2.8 in Let see if that works.:hungry:
  12. Its been over a year since I had a fill....I finally made an appointment for sept 10th. I hope my Doc. dosn't get upset with me if I gained anything, I have been really good with exercise and trying to eat right. What is the longest anyone has gone without?
  13. I have had the LapBand for almost 2 years now. I'm at a stand still and very frustrated. I am having my gallbladder removed on Monday and I'm very very very nervous. Any advise will be appreicated
  14. I have been banded for 2 year and I need to have my gallbladder out. I have been have back pain and shoulder pain for 7 months and have been told it was just stress. When I talk to the surgon she said I didn't need it out and lets justwait and see what happens. My band doctor was upset because he said that I can lose my band if I get infected. I would prefer not to have it out but worry about losing my band. Should I just let it go and wait? Another thing does the gallbladd have anything to do with weight loss?
