Yes the very experienced Mexican doctors make you go on a liquid liver shrinking diet IF your BMI is over 40 mine was for 14 days yours was 7 Dody ????....... :hungry: but having dinner the night before is not going to expand it overnight........My gosh woman think before you speak!!!!!!!!!:heh: As for pre testing they were very careful and did all the pre tests I needed...........They actually had a real hospital and electricity and clean Water..........and a nice car took me back to my 5 star hotel to recover not a donkey:p

I saw them do it on a episode of Supersize surgery to that guy Nick..he was almost 400 lbs........is your BMI really high by chance?????????

I went to Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta he has a website and a board to read......what a nice man he has a great team ... and a super clean hospital..I posted pics in the photo area of his website ...I chose him because my old PCP had him do hers because of his recomendations and our insurance we both have didn't cover Lap Bands....I was one of 4 that day and we all keep in touch and all are doing great

Mine is on my left about 2 inches below my bra it is said to be a easy fill there and they have had good sucess with it not turning

Good one I had to pass that one along!!!!!!!!

I am sorry... you posted it 20 min apart on 2 threads.........It was outdated and shouldn't be out there to scare people...I think we should be careful what we post more so when we duplicate it......I am sorry you are troubled......If you even thought it was outdated why did you bother to post unless you knew it was all factual?????

she posted the same thing 20 min before she made this post on 6/26 with the old info...... and got a response from Dr. C http://lapbandtalk.com/showthread.php?p=247806#post247806 she has this old outdated post running in 2 places!!!

Dr C told her it was a old study

I thank you so much for your quick response!

Dr C I was banded 6-12 and I just got my monthly cycle today I get really bad cramps and in the past have used 800 iuboprofen to get rid of them..........I am afraid I won't be able to work.......what can I do?

What years were the 3 yr study in? Haven't they made advances in placement etc?.....This is only my personal opinion but from reading all the posts the people who seem to get into trouble may have the band too tight too long????? I am a newbie only 2 weeks out but it seems to go together.......maybe a good post for Dr C to read

Beautiful home I am sure you will be very happy there.......

I was banded 2 weeks ago today by the same DR....It was a very clean little hospital..and I have no complaints...I know she is in good hands....I just wish she could have taken along a friend or someone.......I am sure she will be fine......I can't wait to hear

It was efinancing soultions..... 800.728.9585 I asked for 8000 and they gave me 5700 they do charge alot to give you the money like 1500 extra but if your desperate as I was it didn't matter to me...That was the place that your score needed to be 620 min to qualify after that it was a easy loan to get.......:clap2: I don't know why the type went so bold and big oh well

Dr Joya is actually a gastroenterologist did you tell him about your problems beforehand?

Hi Bety Boo...my bestest friend besides Emma!!!!!! Meow I got a medical loan It paid 5700 and I paid the other 2300 cash...It is one of the companies that is on most surgeons sites......your credit has to be 620 to qualify my payment is 215.00 per mo

Dr C How long do you ask paitents to wait before exercising..like at curves? Thank you

DR C responded to this on the other thread http://www.LapBandTalk.com/showthread.php?t=19628&goto=newpost

interesting question

Thank you also from me DR C:clap2:

Debi I sent you a email

I would think if you had an infection you would have a fever......

ON Oprah today she said losing weight is a decision...We decided to get a lap band ...We must decide to do our part...and i believe if we play by the band rules to the best of our ability we can do great things for ourselves:scared:

I started with such a high BMI ( 59) i expect it to be easy for a while ......I was clear liquids last week...this week full liquids next week mushies...after that week real food ..I drink something constantly water, crystal light, some jucies..........protien shakes....

I am one week out today and lost 9 lbs for a total of 20!!! This has been so easy!!
