Amazing! You look great. Thanks for the speedy post. It really helps to see this.

Amazing! Any more updated pics on your arm lift? I am considering.

Miss you most- Cookies and cream ice cream! Don't miss you at all- The knee pains from all the extra weight and pretty much everything else...lol

You go girl!!!!

You look awesome! He did a great job! Please keep us posted

Awesome video. Congrats you look amazing!

Yes, this sounds very dangerous! Can you get in to see your doctor sooner?

Way to go!!! You go girl!

I was banded 4 days ago and ever since then I have been feeling like I want to burp, but the belch wont come up. I can feel it go back down and then burn in my chest. This happens SEVERAL times a day. When I go walking I get this huge relief like I am about to bur, then it just goes right back down. I feels as though there is a clog in my throat and it will not allow the burp up. I have passes gas a few times, but no relief has come of this. I am still in a LOT of pain. Has anybody else experienced this? Any suggestions????

I can totally relate! I got banded on Thursday and I have no restriction in my band. This is because i was told that they want to give my belly time to heal before I get filled. My first fill is 02/21. My appetite just came back and my stomach growls like crazy. I have been getting in about 4-6 cups of water and my protein is really gross to me now. I am so confused.

I'm lost also. How do I upload my picture?

God is good! I'm so happy for you!

All I can say is...Wow! You look Amazing. Keep up the great work. What an inspiration!

I tried that even before joining this forum. It's exhausting , Houston being such a large city, doesn't help that matter! But on here it is so much easier. I research each and every doc that someone tells me about. As for Dr. Mirza I asked them and they said not in the foreseeable future.

Good Morning all! So I just found out this morning that I would have to pay $4900 more just to have my surgery through Dr. Mirza in Houston because he is out-of-network for me. This is what I was afraid would happen. First off let me just say, that I am sad about this because I wanted my surgery though him. But I simply cannot pay a total that on top of what I already have to pay out of pocket. If it were a smaller amount then it may be doable. I am convinced that there are some good quality doctors in this huge city! Is there anybody from Houston that had a VSG done. What's the name of your doctor??? And on a scale of 1 to 10 (10 being the highest), how would you rate them...honestly. Thanks for any help.
