I'm simply amazed at your progress. I am so happy for you and only wish the same success for myself after I'm banded. :thumbup:

Oh by the way, with the mucoid plaque cleanse, my wellness center has examples of what came out of a client. I saw it and was amazed that such crap could be inside of a persons intestines and colon. Also, on a funny note, I went in to do a colonic one day and the owner asked me if I I was ready to go "POOP"! LOL

Wow! Thanks so much. I am feeling much better about the possibilities of having this surgery with Dr. Curry. Much success to you in your weight loss endeavors.

There is also a mucoid plaque cleanse and the so easy cleanse which are different from the colonic bed, with Water tank. I have enclosed a photo so you can see the equipment. The first 2 cleanses are things you can do at home. I've not done the home remedy, but I'm going to do it in conjunction with colonics. It's the greatest feeling and once you have them regularly, your body tells you when you need one. It is recommended to do 2 back to back and then 1 per week for the next 6 weeks then back off to 1 every 2 to 3 months. It's wonderful.

Thanks!!! That helps quite a bit. It appears you're losing the weight too. Congrats! Hopefully I will be able to have the same testimonial.

It doesn't hurt at all. A small rectal nozzle is inserted at the entrance of the rectum that disperses warm water into your colon that helps with constipation, diarrhea, acute fecal impaction, colitis, diverticulosis, parasitic, infections, a toxic colon, bowel stimulation, flatulence or bloating, mild hemorrhoids, and intestinal toxemia. The clinic offers other services as well. If you would like to see what services they offer their website is Welcome to Cleansing Waters, Indianapolis, Colonic Hydrotherapy, Detox Foot Spa, Body Ecology Diet I love the SOQI BED and want the Ionized Water system. Check it out. Colonics is the BEST!!!

LOL, I love how you named your city, cause when I drive through there heading to Denver, that's exactly how I feel. Your post is such an inspiration to me. I am still in the research stages. I live in Indianapolis, IN but contemplating surgery in Ohio because there seems to be much more support there for lap banders. I'm having trouble finding people with GREAT success stories about lap banding and positive experiences with Dr.'s here in Indy which concerns me. Keep up the GREAT work.

Is colonics safe after lap band surgery? I go to a great clinic that offers much more than just colonics in Indianapolis and I would ideally like to continue.:smile:

Awe, thanks! Congratulations and I wish you much success with your new band. What are the steps you followed to get to the point you're at now. I'm trying to figure out how long it might take me to get the surgery scheduled from the time I attend the seminar? I am very anxious to have it done. Although I haven't attended any seminar, I have done an enormous amount of research. I live in Indianapolis but don't feel quite comfortable with what I've seen thus far with respect to those individuals that have had it done here and certainly no rants and raves about Dr.'s who perform the surgery here. I'm seeing an abundant amount of rants and raves about Dr.'s there in the Cinci. area and it's only and hop, skip and jump from Indy. Be sure to let me know how your surgery goes tomorrow. Well wishes to you!

I am considering a couple of Dr.'s in Cincinatti, OH; Dr. Trace W. Curry or Dr. Brad Watkins. I am looking for individuals who have been banded by these Dr.'s and would like for you to share your experiences, both good and bad as well as suggested questions I should ask during the upcoming seminar I am attending. I'm looking for the best support pre and post op. Please give any and all experiences as well as opinions that will help me make my decision. Thanks.

Leona06, In your signature you have 270/204!!!/135, is my interpretation that you have gone from 270 down to 135 correct??? If so, WOW and MAJOR Congrats are in order. Please tell me what you did. I am not banded yet, however, I am STRONGLY considering it. Do you think choosing the RIGHT Dr. plays an important role in this type of success? You are truely an inspiration. How long did it take you to reach that 204 and then 135 weight? I am almost 280 at 5'3' and would love to have the same results. What didn't you like the most after surgery? How are you managing to maintain? I go to a seminar on this Saturday. I'm compiling a list of questions to ask; do you have any important ones that are a must ask? Thanks!

WOW! Your progress is awesome. Can you share what you did in the weeks after surgery to lose and maintain your focus? I haven't had the surgery, but I am HIGHLY considering it. I have about 130 lbs to lose.

Congratulations and well wishes!!!

Wow! I wish you much success with your weight loss endeavors. Sounds like you had a great Doctor and I think that can be the difference between you and the ones who don't have as good a Doctor and post-op care. Keep us posted on your weight loss. When you say pre-op diet, what did that consist of?

Thanks for your reply. It appears you had it done earlier this month and have lost 17 lbs; is that correct? How are you feeling and what in your opinion has helped you lose 17 lbs in less than a month? That's pretty darn good! Congratulations!

I am a 5'3", 279lb female considering lap band. For those who have already done it, what would you recommend doing prior to surgery? I have heard many good and bad stories and am truely confused about whether to go through with it or not. I've been on many diets and weight loss programs and still seem to gain the weight back and think that a little assistance such as the lap band would give me the boost I need to continue. Right now I'm at a point where I'm totally unmotivated. Feedback would be helpful. Thanks.
