I did see Dr. Rojas already. He doesn't offer fluoro and last time I went to his office to try to have him do my adjustment, he could not find my port and it was not pretty at all... Does he have access to a fluoro machine now?? Celia

Grrrrr... I was not told that it would be cheap, but I also did not expect it to cost me an arm and a leg. I should have done a little bit more homework. Thanks for the quick reply...

Hi everyone: I am very surprised at the cost of adjustments in the offices around my home! I got banded in Mexico by a wonderful Dr. However, due to the new "problems" with the new requirements for US re-entry, I cannot go to my doctor for adjustments anymore. I started looking for a doctor that would do adjustments here in the Los Angeles California area and ohhhhhh my GOSH!!! The first few places that I called, would not even look at me since I got banded in Mexico. But the others that would look at me charge average of $400.00 to $500.00 dollars for the consultation alone and then in addition the cost of the adjustment which ranges between $900.00 and $1,000.00!!!!! Please tell me that I am looking in the wrong places and there is somewhere else better where I can get an AFFORDABLE adjustment with the option of fluoro around my area???? I refuse to believe that this is going to cost me sooo much. Any help, ideas, thoughts will help me a great deal. Thanks youall Celia

Oh! I am on day four and yuk, I really don't like it. The gas is a killer and the rumbles are annoying. I am having Isopure, tea, Water and broth. I am on ketosis(burning fat instead of musle according to the Atkins diet and test strips). I am on the clear liquid of the first two weeks post op. I have made chicken soup and had the broth for that, I have made shimp and suchini soup and have had that as well. So far not bad for my stomach, but I do share with some of you here that the head hunger is the worse!!! A learning process I guess but still very difficult.
