Thumbs up to EAS, I bought strawberry sorbert Unjury and i can bearly get past the smell and it taste just like it smells. :thumbup:

Just a follow-up, I just got back from Juarez and thought you might like to know Dr.Rod, his team, the hospital and Beliteweight (Jessica) were great. can't find one negitive thing to say. Good luck on your journey. PS no car jacking.

Back from Mexico, surgery went great. Can't begin to explain how great it feels to be on this side of it. For all the butterflies that will be going in this comming week, Good luck and can't wait for ya'll to join us. And wishing everyone a speedy recovery :)

1st: If they are your friends they'll be there for you if not replace them with positive people. 2nd: Girl don't let your size be a factor, go take what you want. Just make sure it's what you really want

lynlynkr, 3 days out and you can already eat? my Doc has me doing 1 wk Clear Liquids, and 1 wk reg liqiuids, then mushies. He says it's to let everything heal. i've already done my pre-op liquid diet with one more day to go, It's been hard but I surprised myself. anyway good luck to you, can't wait to be on your side of it.

go to the July Butterflies master thread, We're trying to get everyone to move over there. good luck tomarrow!

Thanks all! We are in this together, we are all going to be Hot Mammas! Hehe.........

Good luck to all the 7/21 butterflies,hope your able to sleep tonight. tuesdays my day, I haven't been able to sleep all weekend. I think i'm more nerves about the plane ride then anything!

i'm getting banded in mexico on 7/22, guess I got lucky, ther's a fill center usa not to far from my home. they had no problem setting me up so when i'm ready they'll be there for me.

Welcome, your in for an exciting journey, and sometimes nerve racking but everyone is here to walk you through it. good luck and congrats on making this life changing decision

You make people aware of the facts, not unfounded back street stories.

mmmmmmm, garlic bread! I don't get banded until 7/22 but gave up bread 3mo ago, Yep, garlic bread is what I miss the most. :thumbup:

YaYA, please don't get mad, most of us just think it's funny. it's not a shot at you. I just think everyone here just doesn't want to spread unnessary fear. some people beleave everything they hear and it wouldn't be fair to classify all surgery in Mexico or anywhere else for that matter like that. When you start a thread you open yourself up to everyones opinion sorry to say i think it's pretty childish to get mad when you hear something you don't like. you can agree or disagree but no need to get angry.

If that is true i should be happy as hell right now, i'm in the middle of liquid pre-op. I sure thought all this happiness would feel differant. but it's a lovely thought.

I can't beleave you would just beleave it to be true without question. oh, I have an island for sale really really cheap if your interested.(Oops i'm sorry that was just hateful) pre-op diet no food, must be getting to me.

Thx Lisa and Lynn for the updates and congrats on your surgery going well, I have 5 more days and I can bearly stand the wait. Please keep us updated on your progress.

Lisa B, so so sorry to hear that, I know that must really suck. But please don't give up. Just hang in there you've already come this far.

I have no idea how I am going to sleep tonight. It is like Chritmas eve! I don't want to take anything because I have a really important meeting at 0730 AM and nned to be alert. Then I am going to go over for my surgery (I am a nurse and work for the hospital where the surgery will be)

I guess I will take a hot bath and read a while after I pack. Oh shoot; it is only 630 pm, I have 12 hours to kill. When in doubt -go to Wal-mart!

I will post on Thursday; asking for prayers, please.

Lynn:embaressed_smile:

Prayers and best wishes

Kim, $165 for a fill, that's awesome, my surgeon charges $850 or more, under flouro. Are the fills at the center done under flouro?

Good luck to all the butterflies going in today!!! :frown:

Hi all, I live in Glen Allen, VA and am being banded this Thurs.(the 17th). I am getting very excited! I am self-pay b/c my BMI is 35 and it would be a cold day in you know where before insurance would pay. I have a question, if anyone is willing to answer, how much cheaper is it actually to get banded in Mexico? I've seen that many people take that route!

thx, Nancy B.

Just wanted to say congrats, and wishing you a speedy recovery :thumbup:

I was also banded in Mexico 2004. I have weighed 115lbs for almost the past three years. I only had to have 3 fills total the first year. I started at 170 but had 2 heart attacks at age 40 -non smoker & drinker, low blood pressure - but have 2 parents dying of cancer in their 60's so I was probably stressed out. The Drs here told me to gain another 50 lbs before I could even be considered. Thought maybe I would die first so went to Mexico -- the best decision I have ever made. I love my band - I love having my healthy life back. I live here in Northern VA would love to talk with other bandsters!!
