  1. The actual plane ride was no biggie, buy some liquid dramamine and drink it before you get on the plane, you'll sleep through the whole thing. But make sure you take it before because the bottle is more than 3 oz so if they catch it when they search your carryon then they will make you toss it. We had to change planes and our gate was on the other end of DFW so that super long walk was really hard and it wore me out. I stopped at Starbucks and got some hot water to mix in a boullion cube but by the time I made it I had lost my appetite! Im doing ok, I didn't get my fill amount right until 2 weeks ago. It's tough eating pretty much only protein since I am such a carbo! I have lost 23 lbs so far, but haven't started exercising yet. It's going a lot slower than I had hoped but it is steady! Good Luck to you!
  2. I go to Paris, TX to get my fills, it's a hell of a drive but I can't find anyone in okc to do it, and the doctor in Tulsa, Dr. Kirk, I think? wants nearly 600.00 to do a fill. The place I go to it called Red River Valley Radiology www.rrvr.net They charge 350.00 for a fill and gaurantee it for 10 days, if you need more or less you can come back within the 10 days and get it for a $50 tray fee. They do all fills under flouroscopy. I hope this helps!
  3. Awesome! Hopefully I won't be feeling too crappy and I can come down to the lobby and meet you for a bit. I am suppossed to walk as much as I can anyway. Who is TeresaJane? I can't find her anywhere
  4. Hi Hayley, We will be in monterrey at the same time! I am scheduled with Dr. Zapata on June 2! Good Luck to you! Maybe we will run into eachother!
  5. Loved, I am so there with you. This sucks. But lots of people tell me that by day 3 it gets easier. Good luck to you!!! Stay strong!
  6. Hi, I live in OKC and am going to Mexico to get my lap band soon. I haven't yet found a fill doc that will accept Mexico doctors. Any one know of a good one that doesn't cost an arm and a leg?
