HELLO STEPH, I LEAVE ON THE 24TH AND MY SURGERY'S THE 25TH. I'M ON THE PRE-OP DIET AND AM NOT LIKING IT TOO MUCH! :shades_smile:

HELLO JENA, I'M ALSO ON MY PRE-OP DIET AND TRIED THE SLIM FAST OPTIMA.... I DON'T CARE FOR IT EITHER! :confused2: I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN ABOUT THE FUNNY AFTER-TASTE. I WON'T EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING WITH SPLENDA, EQUAL OR SWEET N LOW. I CHECKED THE INGREDIENTS IN SLIM FAST OPTIMA AND IT HAS ARTIFITIAL SWEETNER IN IT. I THINK THAT'S THE FUNNY AFTER-TASTE. I SWITCHED BACK TO THE REGULAR SLIM FAST.... AS FAR AS I CAN TELL, IT DOESN'T HAVE SPLENDA IN IT. GOOD LUCK WITH THE REST OF YOUR PRE-OP DIET AND YOUR UP COMMING SURGERY!! :thumbup: DARLENE

HI STEPH, THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR REPLY! I HAVE COMMITTED TO GOING TO Mexico, MY DEPOSIT'S IN AND MY NON-REFUNDABLE AIRLINE TICKETS ARE PURCHASED. I HAVE FOUND SOME PLACES THAT'LL GIVE ME MY FILLS [i WANT TO GET MY FIRST FILL DONE BY Dr. Ortiz THOUGH] BUT THEY'RE MOSTLY OUT OF STATE. I WAS JUST HOPING TO GET ONE CLOSE TO HOME. JUST COUROUS.. WHAT DOES DR. MARLEY CHARGE FOR SELF PAY? MUCH APPRECIATO!! DARLENE

HELLO MAKE33, I SEE YOU'RE FROM PA. ....... DO YOU MIND ME ASKING WHO DID YOUR SURGERY? I'M LOOKING FOR A FILL DOC IN PA. THANKS!!

HELLO CISCO, THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY!! I WILL KEEP THE INFO YOU GAVE ME... AM STILL TRYING TO FIND A DOC IN PA. THANKS AGAIN FOR HELP!:biggrin: DARLENE P.S. DO YOU MIND ME ASKING, WHO DID YOUR SURGERY?

HELLO STEPHC, THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY! THE MONEY IS PART OF THE REASON FOR GOING TO MEXICO, BUT THE MAIN REASON FOR ME IS THAT NO DOC IN THE STATES WILL EVEN CONSIDER ME FOR SURGERY BECAUSE I'M OBESE BUT NOT MORBIDLY. DUMB, HUH?? IF I'D GAIN 30 MORE LBS., THEN THEY'D CONSIDER ME. I'M ALREADY HAVING MAJOR HEALTH PROBLEMS AND IF I'D GAIN 30lbs. I'D PROBABLY DIE. ALSO, I RESEARCHED FOR OVER A YEAR AND FOUND THAT DR. ORTIZ IS MORE THAN QUALIFIED TO DO THE SURGERY. HE'S DONE OVER 5000 LAP BANDS [WITH NO DEATHS]..... MAYBE IT WOULD BE EASIER IF I GAVE THE WEB SITE... obesitycontrolcenter.com CHECK HIM OUT. :angry_smile: AGAIN, THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR REPLY AND GOOD LUCK ON YOUR BAND-VENTURE!!:cursing: DARLENE

HELLO CRAZYCAT, I WAS WONDERING WHAT DR. IN MEXICO DID YOUR SURGERY? I'M GETTING BANDED SHORTLY IN MEXICO BY DR. ORTIZ. :smile2:

I See That Jetdeck says She's From Ny.....

HELLO, HOW MUCH DOES DR. POHL CHARGE FOR A FILL? IS IT DONE WITH FLOURO? THANKS!! DARLENE :thumbup:

HELLO!! THANKS FOR YOUR REPLY! I HAVE CHECKED INTO FILL CENTERS AND THEY DON'T HAVE ANY DOCS IN PA. THE CLOSEST WOULD BE NJ. I AM CONSIDERING GOING THERE THOUGH, LIKE YOU SAID, IT'LL BE CHEAPER THAN GOING BACK TO MEXICO. I WOULD LIKE TO GO BACK TO MEXICO FOR MY FIRST FILL AND CHECK UP THOUGH. THANKS AGAIN!!:blushing: DARLENE

HELLO, I'M GOING TO BE BANDED ON 3-25 BY DR.ORTIZ IN TJ Mexico... I HAVE POST ALL OVER TRYING TO FIND A DOC IN OR AROUND CENTRAL PA. THAT WILL DO MY FILLS. TO SAY I'M HAVING A TUFF TIME IS A TOTAL UNDERSTATEMENT!!:blushing: I'M HOPING THAT SOMEONE ON THE FORUM KNOWS OF A DOC WHO'LL TAKE US "DISEASED" MEXICAN BANDSTERS!! THANKS, DARLENE

HELLO JENI..... I'M ALSO FROM PA., WHERE'S LANGHORNE? I'M FROM THE ALTOONA AREA. CONGRATS ON YOUR SUCCESSFUL SURGERY!! :sneaky: I WILL BE BANDED ON 3-25 IN Mexico AND AM LOOKING FOR A FILL DOC IN PA. DO YOU KNOW IF DR. BOE DOES FILLS FOR PATIENTS OTHER THAN HIS OWN? THANKS!! DARLENE

HELLO!! WHAT STATE ARE YOU IN??? :sneaky: THANKS!! DARLENE

HELLO, I'M GOING TO BE BANDED IN TWO WEEKS IN MEXICO AND AM ALSO LOOKING FOR A FILL DOC .... I'M FROM CENTRAL PA. I'VE HAD NO LUCK FINDING A DOC WHO WILL FILL A PATIENT DONE IN MEXICO!!! THEY ACT LIKE YOU'RE DISEASED OR SOMETHING! ANY RECOMMENDATIONS???? MANY THANKS! DARLENE

HI JETDECK, HOW ARE YOU DOING?? ARE YOU HOME NOW? DID YOU GET A PRICE FROM MT. LAUREL? WHEN ARE YOU GOING FOR YOUR FIRST FILL? SORRY ABOUT ALL THE QUESTIONS, BUT I LIKE TO HAVE ALL MY DUCKS IN A ROW AND NOT HAVING MY FILL DOC PICKED OUT YET MAKES ME NERVOUS. I'M NOT WORRIED ABOUT HAVING THE SURGERY THOUGH!! :tea: THANKS AND GOOD LUCK! DARLENE

HELLO JETDECK!! I THINK WE'VE SPOKE ON DR. ORTIZ' FORUM.... YOU WERE JUST BANDED, RIGHT? I'M ALSO FROM PA., BETWEEN ALTOONA AND STAE COLLEGE. I'LL BE BANDED ON 3-25 AND I'M TRYING TO GET A FILL DOC CLOSE TO HOME. I PLAN ON TRAVELING BACK TO SEE DR. O FOR MY FIRST FILL THOUGH. DO YOU HAVE A DOC LINED UP? :confused2: DARLENE

THANKS FOR THE INFO, I'LL STILL KEEP HIS NAME AND #..... YOU NEVER KNOW! IT WOULD BE CHEAPER THAN FLYING BACK TO Mexico. :tea:

HELLO! THANKS FOR THE WELL WISHES....AND RIGHT BACK AT CHA! :w00t: WHERE IS NEPA? I'M HOPING TO FIND A FILL DOC CLOSE TO HOME... FINGERS CROSSED! :tea: P.S. I THINK PURPLEGODDESS IS THE ONE WHO LOVES PURPLE.... ALTHOUGH I DO LIKE IT!
