Large band VS Small Band
That sounds like the correct card. You should see either a 9.75 or 10cm part to that, which will tell you what size you have.

Large band VS Small Band
You should certainly check with your surgeon. He/she should have given you a card with that information on it.

Large band VS Small Band
There are actually 5 sizes of the Inamed bands now... The following hold 4mL: 9.75cm and 10cm (that may be where you got 4 from marie) There is a Vanguard, or VG which holds 10mL And two new bands: APS (small) and APL (large) that hold 10mL and 14mL respectively. Surgeons usually choose which band to place at the time of surgery after measuring the anatomy of your upper stomach where the band will be placed. A band too big for your anatomy could result in your not ever having good enough restriction. You really shouldn't base your experience off of what others have had or done. Every persons experience is as different as thier fingerprints. Just my $.02

Login issues - Clearing Web Browser Cache and Cookies
This issue happened to me for a while and what I did to fix it is: I logged in to the site and checked the remember me box. Then logged off of the website, then went to clear my cache and browsing history. Then when I logged back on, i haven't had any issues whatsoever. I repeat these steps any time I need to clear my cache now just incase it is going to happen again. Hope this helps.

Just an FYI... Historically,the LA area has been a very difficult place to actually keep the interested, interested. There have been a number of providers that have signed up for training that never got up and running for one reason or another.

Dr. Kuri and beliteweight?
I called Dr. Kuri when i found out about this over a month ago. He stated that he wasn't interested in working with any coordinators anylonger. I then called JoAnne's team who quickly told me that i should be talking to JoAnne, came back to tell me she was busy and would return my call, but never did.
