I am a self pay too, same story ins sucks. I havent been banded yet but there is a food section here you can take a look at for ideas on liquid diet phase. I will also be going back to work very soon after the band. I will have my band on a Wed then going back on Monday, unfortunalty i have used all of my vacation time. I have a desk job so hopefully i will be ok. good luck!

Ok guys lets talk. I've been searching through old post and cant find one subject on this. I've been with my BF for 4 yrs and we like to keep it interesting, new "moves" and stuff. ( if this is TMI turn away now) I am pretty flexable for being a PHAT girl. My question is...is anything off limits? Will I feel a poke from the port, will he feel the port (not that I think he would care) but serioulsy can I damage the band or the port, by having a wildly "good time"? Oh and how long before you were "back in the game" after being banded?

Hi Pat Were neighbors, I live in Park Forest!!! I meet the "team" one on one tomorrow. Wish me luck!

Siva1 I went the infosession on 7/9 at the MIBC. The doctor wants to do the sugery @ mibc from what he said at the Infosession. My consult is Friday ...getting nervous. Let me know how it goes.

Pally I am going with MIBC too! I like that they specialize in only the band. Dr & staff are very knowledgable and have great personalities (that makes a big difference to me)
