  1. 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.
  2. You should certainly check with your surgeon. He/she should have given you a card with that information on it.
  3. 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
  4. P.S. when I say target date, it is not set in stone. Just to clear up any confusion.
  5. Here is the new update... The truck carrying the C-arm for delivery broke down in West Virginia... This is going to push the Roswell opening date back another week. Target date now is July 27-28 for opening. I will keep you all updated.
  6. Fluoro in Roswell will be $200. I just got off the phone with Darlene and she said the C-Arm is supposed to be delivered on Sunday.:clap2: I will give another update on Monday to let you all know if she will be in Roswell next weekend.
  7. Cathy, There was a delay on the C-Arm for the Roswell, GA location. Darlene is scheduling for this weekend in Moultrie and has a new target date for the weekend of July 20-21 but unfortunately will not be sure of that date until early next week when the C-Arm is scheduled to be delivered.
  8. I've just started to read Hannibal Rising. I think I'll finish it this weekend while at the lake.
  9. I have good and bad news. Good news is that Los Angeles has signed up for a training. Bad news is that it won't be until the end of August.
  10. 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.
  11. I should be speaking with the Doctor today... I will certainly keep you updated. On another note. Darlene Zebley has signed a lease on a place in the Atlanta area. As soon as there is a date for opening, I will post the information.
  12. liability usually... California is a very litigious state.
  13. 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.
  14. I watched that show too. Wasn't it great how the EMT guys treated her so well while movingher from home to hospital? Did you happen to catch the "Half Ton Man" after that show?
  15. Stacie, I am working on one in the greater Los Angeles Area. It is my hopes that one will be available in July...
  16. The Denver, NC location will be accepting gastric band patients the first of July.
  17. Darlene uses a regular sized c-arm in moultrie and is working on contracting with a place in Atlanta that has the same. Thank you for you offer. I will certainly let Darlene know how much she is wanted in that area.
  18. P.S. Darlene is working on contractual agreements with a new office in the Atlanta area to take her services up there often.
  19. 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.
  20. I agree with you Missy... Could you imagine him having to put out that single?
  21. Well I for one hope Jordin wins... Blake should not be tortured into singing that crap song for his debute single...
  22. I can't wait for the end of the show. this one has been exhausting.
