where is the funural post. I cant find it.

Who is doing your band in TJ?

HI maranda, did you have to pay for the surgary or did your insurance pick it up. Thanks Matt

Thanks for the info. I forgot about jello, That should help.

Well, the 23rd is the day and im on liquids only. I am haveing the hardest time. I hate liquieds. Anybody know of a good protien drink that my reduce hunger. Let me know.

Hay jack, I have my surgary with Ortiz on the 23rd. I will see you there, Maybe. I live in San Diego so the less im T.J the better. How much weight do you need to loose?

Hi Pam, My family doc says dont get the band. What does your regular doc's say about it.

Hi Patty rn, I am working on that. I e-mailed today and am waiting for a response. I would love to save the $$$$. I will let you know what happend on this thread as soon as i find out. Hay Patty are you really a RN.

I will post a avatar if you tell me what it is and how.

Thanks Delarla, I live about 20 min from T.J. I just got off the phone with the nutritionist, she has seen slippage from people having the flu and Throwing up. ( is that the same as PB or BP ? ) When I get the stomach flu watch out, I will have to call and see if something can be done or added prior to surgary, One port free fix or one free slip fix. I dont know. If I can switch to a PPO I will be just fine here in San Diego. Thanks Matt P.S I checked out your slumber party site ( ouchhhhhhhhh )

Your kidding right! Iam scheduled for mexico this month. Did you get yours in mexico? Or is it a Doctor mistake ? What is your opinion. I cant afford to have a 2nd sugary if I go through this one.

Pam and delarla, Thank you so much for your honest opinion. It will help me with my decision. Delarla, how many ports have you gone through, and why do you think it is happening? Thanks Matt

you are in the same shoes I am. Im scheduled for the band in 10 days. and still not sure if it is the correct choice.

Nsv, Great. If your a girl doing that thats even greater. Either way it is still awsome. Keep it up

Thank you Queen Bee, I appreciate all the info. Looks like yes im doing it. But tomarrow i might say no. thanks again Matt Lap band date is Sept 23 a day after my b-day

Hi SPF, Where did you originally get your band? Does the doctor think the complications are from the band or from a combination of situations. Please let us know.

God bless and let us know how it went. Also let us know how long recovery was. I here 24 hours is common

Still talking about castaway. How about talking me out of my surgary this month

Is Dr. Owens at alvarado hospital ? If so, I have head of him only. you must have insurance in order to use him? Hay Queen bee. I might be get banded this month with Ortiz. Any situations you could inform me about? Talk me out of it. or talk me into it.

I agree I want to here positive and neg. It will assist my decision about the band.

I would love to know who your sergeon is and where he is. If an emergency does happen. I would feel much better to know I will get help here instead of having to run down to T.J Mexico. I am scheduled for surgery at the end of this month is mexico. But, I have been told repeatedly that no California emergency will touch a lap band patient who has had the surgery in Mexico.
