All bands can slip. No matter what your surgeon told you, all bands can slip. Did I mention that all bands can slip?

Dr. C Have you ever heard of having a bowel obstruction with the lap band? I recently had to go to the e.r. [ I think I had the flu] since i was having dry heaves and was worried about the band. They gave me a c.t. scan and said the band was the cause of a obstruction in the small intest. Put me in the hospital for three days to watch me ,then said I didn't need surgery and let me go home!

Redding Ca. here,we have to drive two hours to the airportthen the plane ride is about 1 3/4 hrs. not too bad except that after surgery the car ride is a little to much! I'm happy to see that we are the same age and having this done,most of the people going trough this seem to be in their twenties and thirties,not that I think I'm old or anything!HaHa The women I have talked to seem to average around 5 pounds a week,that works for me!!!If you go down to have fill at the end of the month maybe I'll see you there,we fly in on the 31st. keep up the good work!!!!!!!!Sheree a.

I don't find many people with their first name spelled like mine! How are you doing with your weight so far? My husband got banded on April 19th and is doing great!!!I can't wait for my turn! Do you live in calif.? This will be our second trip to Mexico, the first went well,We were impressed with the hospital and the doctors! take care,Sheree a.

HI THERE, maybe is irrelevant but I am being banded on April 18, in New Zealand. it is great how you are both ( your hubby and you) going thru' this together, I wished i had someone to share this with you are so lucky! When I posted on this site no-one had the same date, but now they are all coming out of the wood-work so to speak! Here in NZ you must make a date well in advance, but people don't seem to on these sites, can you book suddenly or is it more a case, that people book then sGouddenly discover this site?

Hi Mockingbird, That's great that you got your date set! Where are you having your's done? My husband is starting his 2 week pre-surgery diet Wed. he's getting pretty nervous already! I'm just getting excited for him,let me know how you do,GOOD LUCK!!! sheree a.

Is anyone out there going down to Mexico at that time???Would love to talk to anyone that is!We are counting the days!!! sheree a.

If anyone has any enfo from your surgery that was done by Dr. Kuri, I would love to have you answer some of my questions! I,m just getting ready to make my date for my husband and myself to have it done!:help:
