I really like the fill center doc in vegas real nice guy......as for the other I use albertsons brand stool softener it is like 4 bucks for 100 tabs it is generic colace so it is not a laxative but works great

joan read all your well wishes today and really was touched...she is moving to rehab floor tomorrow is doing fantastic I don't know when she gets out but doing great.....I cant thank you all enough:tt1:

i will be there!! that will be fun I may bring a couple other bandsters I will let you know the final count

great news she is up and walking and looking good!!!! She said the erosion is healing fast and i may be able to take her an icee ( if the doc says she can drink )tomorrow!!!!!!! Prayer is so powerful isn't it!!!!! Thanks to you all!!!! We are all so lucky to have a forum where we all have the same issues to share...and are friends without meeting.....:cool:

update she is out of ICU to the step down unit IMC i think it is she is on the mend thanks to all the prayers!!!!

Thank you for asking I didn't go yesterday and her husband said her sprits were getting low....physically she is on the mend...thanks to all the prayers.... still in ICU I am going today after work....I try to take the late late shift with her family so someone is there if she needs something I will let you know whats up tonight

The only time i had this problem is being too tight...especally if you pb alot that day it makes it worse and you wake up choking and throwing up...if im not too tight i am fine

thank you all so much!!!

I told her all about you all posting prayers and she smiled !!!!! I am going back to the icu in a little bit and i am printing prayers i have seen so far you all are so sweet and nice it means so much for her family...linda

<p>I USED THE FILLCENTER HERE IN VEGAS AND HE IS A REALLY NICE GUY HE ...I actually got an unfill.... he IS BEHIND THE NEW SAINT ROSE hospital AT WARM SPRINGS/ DURANGO.. oops locked caps I usually fly to Tj and get it under floro at Obesity Goodbye It is 100 for the flight the pick u up and deliver you back and thre floro fill is 150</p>

I have no doubt your friend had pain surgery is harder for some than others....I have been there many times and my friend who is a medical professional had a band revision this past month raved about the service...Even Dr Verboonen has a band himself........I just hate to see a place that does such good service and great follow up get raked..........Pain meds in Mexico are very good and in all my fills there I have never had anything but one needle used and Dr Eulices Frayre MD is probably one of the best fill Dr's around ( sorry font changed.) Ask your friend again if it was really that bad or does she just not tolerate surgery well...If her story sticks and it may I would be truly shocked

<p>these guys are professionals...I use them for fills....My friend just got banded and she is a medical PA and loved them she was a pervious banded paitent and got a revision by them with the french band which has a bit of a fill right off the bat......I have had 5 fills with them and they use floroscope and get it right first time everytime......they would NEVER bend needles.....Her pain management was spot on.......I don't believe this....no way</p>

I had SVT's a tacyacardia condition which I had surgery to correct 12 yrs ago ....It resurfaced while on the pre op diet...I don't know if It was a lack of protien.....I have been on heart meds ever since 16 months ago.... My cardiologist thinks my body will adjust:ranger:

so you had the band removed and had a mgb?

my friend went to Atkinson last November and is doing great

I have flown to TJ 3 times for fills I get a 88 dollar round trip ticket and they pick you up at the San Diego airport.... and the fill with floroscope is 150.00 and have been very happy.....I go to Obesity Goodbye....my surgery was done in Puerto Vallarta but I was reccomended to the team in tj

Wow unbelieveable........awful

James Atkinson is the best in Las Vegas hands down!!!

Maybe this fill is just a tad too tight It is was easier to eat standing sitting causes me to slime alot....anyone else????

Thanks all I am thinking it is a tad tight I have a 11cc band with 6 cc fill.....the walking helps when It feels stuck..or holding my head back so my neck is straight.....the thing is I have figued out what hurts is the ball of slime you get...not the food ...food never comes up ... just the slime.....If it continues to be I can stand to get it down without problems I may take a cc out at 4cc I could eat without problems...not like a sandwich or pizza but just a good dinner salmon veggies etc

All went well in her surgery today in Las Vegas go betty!!!!!!

Wow what a story....I send well wishes to you for a speedy recovery!

Yea Betty Boo I am so happy for you!!!!!!!!!!:clap2:
