Letty Banded May/12/2006 Dr. Arturo Rodriguez (Monterey Mexico) No problems to report (thank God!)

I'm sending her best wishes for a speedy recovery! God bless!

Hi to all! I came just to read all your postings! Blessings

My Mane is Letty, 36 years old, single, no children, well I have a Tibetan terrier whom acts like a kid! I was banded a month a go in Monterey Mexico by Dr. Arturo Rodriguez, (i love this man) and I'm in the process of learning how to live with this strange object in my body. So far no mayor problems, just the usual healing factors. There are sometimes when I get really mad at my self for not being able to loose the weight on my own, but soon after I try not too. So now all of us are like a big family right? When can we get together for dinner? Perhaps we can all share a single meal!:hungry:

Thanks Wheet! I forgot to mention, that I was doing that cabbage Soup diet for a week. It was my second day this Tuesday (I was on vegetables and soup only. I don't know if that had any thing to do with it? Obviously I quit! I had to have milk yesterday and I was not suppose too. I rather feel good then loosing some extra pounds. Blessings

I put salt and lemon juice (not too much) on my very cold cubes of watermelon! mmmmmm

Thank you Morsa, I though it was the kiwis because, did not feel right after I ate them, but it could had been anything. I also went to a patty on Tuesday night, and there was nothing for me to eat, so that was like 6 hours, after I got home I had some grill vegetables and that was it, then the pain came along. Since I'm new to this, everything scares me, but I feel better this morning, I went to get some Maalox, perhaps that will help with the gas too. I email my Dr, and he said it could been some Vitamins, pills can cause irritation and even ulcers in your stoma sometimes, so I also get some chewable ones. Blessings Letty

Hello everyone I was just wondering, has any body had a bad experience with kiwis? my Dr, said pineapple and, oranges and limes were not recommended but did not mention anything about kiwis. At 3 1/2 weeks post- op, I had some two days ago, (they were kind of sour) and I have this feeling in my chest of swollen, like irritation. I was able to eat all this time, but only things that are cold, milk feels really good or very cold Water, well I'm afraid to eat something else, even though I hade some chicken (cold) and fresh mozzarella for lunch, but it is dinner time, and only want milk. Is there any thing you can do to get rid of this? Thanks

Hi Girls and boys!! Have a nice weekend!

Cloe, you drove home four hours after surgery? you're a thought girl! Congratulations! and good luck to you too!

HI Ann!!! You probably get to Monterey the day I left I'm guessing! Well, nice to meet you "virtually" What rules are you talking about? I don't like rules! Blessings

Hi Jim welcome to bandland! I was also banded by the great Dr Rodriguez on may 12. I'ts good to be back at home it is not? About your incisions I can tell you, that mime, look just the same, so many colors, I was so scared, but as days go by, they will get better, just put all the ice that you can on it, and give it some time to heal, it will happen. I even have some little bumps underneath the skin on one or two of the incisions. So take it easy, walk, rest, drink your liquids, let your family pamper you, and good luck. Blessings Letty
