  1. I am scheduled for surgery on 1-26-09 and am wondering if anyone had any issues that I may not be aware of or any helpful tips that I could use.
  2. I am going to CosMed and using Dr Quiroz, he was highly recommended form my lap band doctor down in Mexico the two work closely together.
  3. I am going to Mexico to have my lower body lift and will be paying 7100 I believe just a tummy tuck is around 5500, that price is all fees included.
  4. Yeh I think that he will be a great choice and fit for me. I also will be staying at the aftercare he recommended for 4 nights. I will start a post once it gets closer I am still 3 months out. Let me know if you have any questions, that I may help you with.
  5. I will be having a LBL with Dr Quiroz on JAn 26, 09. I know of a fellow bandtser who just had it done with him last week. Great results and care I think you will be happy with the results. Let me know when you go and how it goes.

  7. Yes I am having it done at CosMed it has a web site and if you would like info maybe you could leave me a number where we could chat ior email me directly at quennee2003@yahoo.com. I can answer all your questions you may have or at least try
  8. She smiles where were you quoted 20k for a LBL I will be having mine for under 6500 in Mexico with a licensed plastic surgeon from the states (overhead is much lower down there). I wouild look into getting another quote. Good luck and KAREN YOU LOOK GREAT I hope I get the same results 3 mths and counting.
  9. My doctor advised that you can get a fill as needed, I think you should use good judgment and not do it too often, but like I said I have only had three in a year and a half. I will get one done next year right around my 2 year anniversary so that I can maintain my wieght better after my LBL.
  10. Yeh I have the 4 cc band and at first I felt a bit of a change and some of teh time I feel so restricted I cant even get two bites down and other times I can eat like before. I have never been a big eater, but I agree I do make poor food decisions.AFter I have the surgery I will probably go and get a fill to be at 3.0 and see how that goes.
  11. I have the same issue, I have had the third fill at 2.7 in a 4 cc band and have been banded for a year and a half workout 5-6 days a week and the scale doesn't budge. I am having a LBL in Jan to end the misery of the fat hanging. I really didnt want to get down too thin. I am 5-8 and ended up at 175 and have gained 5 pds back, so I guess I have to settle for what happens after teh surgery. I also am going to go back on Sugar Busters this month, so I will see what happens.
