  1.    TakinThePlunge reacted to a post in a topic: Calling all who had surgery in MEXICO
  2. I got your email, Tiffeny. I will be there. I am very excited. Thanks for letting us meet at your home.
  3. Zuly 98... you sound like me! It's good to know I am not alone. I wish we could both be reporting major changes. I am baffled because I am eating so many fewer claories and no bread... why no change. I have read that we shouldn't expect loss because our body is recovering from the truama of surgery. So I hope after the first fill I will see a bigger change. It's hard to be patient though when you know you aren't eating, you want to see results.
  4. Gottagetbanned--- I'm on your boat! I was banded on May 26th and feel like a loser! I lost 7- 10 pounds the first week but now... nothing and sometimes I weigh myself and it's between 7-10 pounds. I get so discouraged because I eat nothing and walk... why am I not losing more?! When will I see the "fruits of my labor"?! I know it will take time but it's nice to know I'm not crazy.
  5. That's great! You sound very happy. Can I ask how long it took you to reach your goal? My goal is 110 pounds and I have been banded for 10 days now and have lost 5 pounds but nothing else. I feel like I am a failure. I know I am hard on myself but I want results fast because I eat nothing and am so motivated to stay active and healthy. How long did it take you to reach your goal? I just can't wait to lose at least 40 pounds. SOme days I feel so emotional about it. Almost like I am trapped with or without the band and it's all in my head. Is this normal?
  6. I was just banded at hospital Angeles in TJ by Dr. Lopez Corvala... he was great. its 5 min from the border. Great clean facility
  7. I was recently banded in Tijuana at Hospital Angeles with Dr. Lopez-Corvala through World Med. The staff was so nice, attentive and helpful. The hospital was clean, safe and professional. I had an easy recovery in my private room. Good luck!
