Hi. I was banded 7/06, had my first fill (1cc) 2 months ago, and now my second fill a couple of days ago (2.5-3cc md is unsure?). Since that time I have felt as though liquids go down slowly and i'm having a hard time eating solids even with chewing VERY carefully. They don't necessarily come back up but they sit there and hurt. Soup is fine, and mushies seem to sit for a while but then go. Anything else and I'm miserable. Am I too full or just not used to this thing? Liz

I have regular ear piercings- no big deal, but when I got my cartilage pierced it didn't hurt so bad when they did it, but it took a YEAR for it to finally heal so that I could sleep on that side! (speaking of which i need to go put that back in, they made me take it out for surgery) I'm totally getting my bellybutton done when I'm skinnier.

I'm in for this month, but let me get back to the states before I can tell you all my info... Liz

You know dezadoo, I accidentally added that extra "e" into your sentence... then i realized you meant surgery lol

Do the seasickness patches help with a hangover? :) Kidding!!!!

Hi everyone! Guess what, I am alive! I had a panic attack that woke me up the night before my surgery, and I almost changed my mind, but it's done now! Yesterday I felt like I had been run over by a Mack truck, then by last night a 4 wheel drive, now today just a car Except after hauling my luggage up my port site is hurting again. Oh well, tomorrow just a bike? I haven't had much gas pain yet, just pain at the port site. I also keep getting these feelings like my stomach is cramping up, but they go away about as fast as they come. I had a pretty big hernia Dr. Zapata said, but he fixed that too. Anyway, I'm hoping your toe is feeling better BGP. I know the feeling when you've got all the science to back something up but people don't want to believe it- that's poopy Anyway, going to go lay down and see if i can't make my side feel better. Talk to all of you later tonight!

Paulax, I'm here all by my self! I keep thinking "I'm such a strong person", but deep down i really wish someone were here :bananapartyhat: Too bad there really wasn't anyone to bring. Oh well :bananapartyhat: Earlier i was thinking, wow, I'm in a foreign country by myself, I should do something crazy, like get a piercing or a tattoo or something, and then i remembered- I'm having surgery! Crazy enough :bananapartyhat:

Congratulations, and I LOVE the tattoo.

Excellent idea, and just imagine if we ALL have water- oh boy, watch out. I hear that funny gets into some pretty FUNNY stuff!!! lol

Scared, SCARED! Running around with my head under my arm. Tomorrow's the big day! I need a great big tranquilizer.

ROFLMAO We crack me up! I think we should have rooms near each other in case we get "waterlogged"

Hi BGP. I will. I had a mini emotional breakdown at dinner, just a couple of tears. Made an international call to my parents- they weren't home. :bananapartyhat: Oh well! I'm in monterrey right now and will be until the 2nd when I fly back home to florida. I was thinking about you as I wandered the mall today. Has anyone checked your uric acid? Is your big toe red and swollen? I'm wondering about gout.

So say someone was going to attempt to bring some contraband ETOH (alcohol)... It should go in the carryon? Should it perhaps find a Water bottle to fit into? I'm sure I'm not talking about myself... ***looking around*** :bananapartyhat:

Karla, Thanks. I'm kindof scared right now, but this time tomorrow I will be banded!

Hi everyone. I'm sitting here in my hotel room in Mexico. I'm a little (lot) nervous :bananapartyhat: Alma is supposed to be here in half an hour with some paperwork. Hmmm. I went to the mall across the street from the hotel and do you know what they had???? My FAVORITE candy from childhood! I was a military brat and lived in germany and when we went to the actual german stores they had these little chocolate eggs called kinder eggs (kinder means child in german) with an orange and white foil wrapper and a toy in the middle. So you guys KNOW i had to have one, right? I haven't had one since I left germany (3rd grade), but I still think of them often... it was just as good as i remember them too. I know that I probably shouldn't be eating candy, but I just had to. I bought a box to bring home to my little sister. (no i'm not going to eat them too...) KMO- how are things going? Are you out of the hospital yet? How's the pneumonia???? I'm worried about you! Thanks for the prayers SherriJo, I need them :bananapartyhat: ! So does anyone else think that pesos are so cool? I mean they're two colored! I'm keeping some as souveniers. I took my before pictures. They are SO GROSS! I'll be posting them later (Like next week, or maybe when I have some afters...) Okay, I'm rambling (I'm nervous). I'm sure I'll be on here later tonight too! My time to see the doc is 7am- bright and early!
