Hello I am 9 days post op and in need of a good scale .. I'm trying to decide if I should get a digital or a dial scale ? I always wondered if the digitals were that accurate ? Anybody have any ideas for me on what product I should get ? Thanks for your input ..

I just got banded on the 25th and per my dr we can have sugar free jello and sugar free pudding ! Inculding the sugar free pudding popsicles..

I had my surgery in Mexico on the 25th of Sept .. I am now 4 days post op and feeling better- -- I believe I probably could have gotten by at work if need be but am very happy for the extra days -- For me anything before 4 days would have been too much -

Ok, to those that have been banded already by Dr Gonzalez ... How important is the diet journal you are supposed to do ?? Does the Nutritionist really look at it --- I probably missed a week of journaling -- I'm not very good at that stuff -- I'm just wondering now what is going to be said to me - - Thanks for all the info !!

Ok what is the AP band and why is it better ?? Never heard of them ...

Heyyy I'm Sept 25th also -- going to TJ, MX

I am going for surgery with Dr G on Sept 25th -- They ask for 500.00 retainer fee and I believe the rest is due at surgery -- I actually havent gotten that far yet ... My surgery was scheduled for almost a month before I even sent the 500.00 in because my financing was going thru still too .. I'm sure they will work with you, whatever ur situation.

Liz1531 , Thanks for the info ! Since you live there u may be able to help me out .. I was really looking for a hotel on the Ocean ! I keep coming across the Marina and have booked at Marriott Marina but I am still searching for an Ocean front hotel w/in the same price range but I dont even know where to look for Ocean front --- ??? What am I doing wrong ? I keep finding Marina front or whatever -- Help -- :bounce: Thanks

Thanks everyone for all your responses --I do appreciate the fact you took the time to help me --- 2 weeks left for me and soo excited - Hope all is going well with everyone and Good Luck on this journey !

How far are you from Chicago ?

Hello Bandsters -- I am going to Tijuana to get banded Sept 25th by Dr Gonzalez... I will be going to San Diego for 2 nites post op -- Does anybody have any suggestions on where to stay ?? I got a good price at the Marriott Marina but have been reading mixed reviews -- Also, I was wondering if anybody could give me insight on what to expect after surgery -- Will I be able to at least go to the zoo or Sea World - Am I expecting too much to be up to that ?? Also, should I assume I wont be able to go in the pool due to incisions ?? Thanks for any info you could provide -- !!

mdicurn -- Just wanted to let you know my surger is for sept 25th not 28th --sorry

Hello All Bandsters , I am getting banded Sept 25th in Tijuana MX with Dr Gonzalez ! I am soo excited but kind of worried at the same time -- I'm worried that I wont be able to keep with the diets == And I'm worried what my body is going to look like when I do lose the weight !!
