I am so excited I am down 7 pounds! Just had some tomato bisque soup :party: I over did it last night jumping around at practice. I have learned my lesson. I think I will rest more this weekend, before jumping all the way back into my routine. I also have a band aide adhesive allergy. So I am sans bandages for the first time all week, I think they're close enough to heal without bandages. But the burns created by the band aids is pretty bad looking . It has kept my mind off the cough for sure. Back to work!

Yay. Still have gas pains that run up to the shoulder. I am slightly worried about a cough I have and may go to Urgent Care this week for a breathing treatment. I rather be safe. It hurts so bad to cough, it's like my stiches feel like they're tearing when I do. Yuck. I am at work today again, taking it totally easy on myself not only am I sore but I feel kinda ditzy. My job can be pretty serious so I am trying to stay off the phones so I don't say stupid things. Labor day weekend is almost upon us and all I really want is a vacation from my surgery vacation in Mexico.

I had surgery on 9/27/09 and I have been coughing up clear phlegm since. Is this normal? It's not a noisey cough it's actually a productive one producing small ammounts of clear phlegm. But it hurts my abdomen like hell to cough like this :thumbup:

So I was banded on Thursday the 27th and I am already back to work. It's a little rough my port site is really sore! I have already lost 5 pounds. Yay. I am hoping to lose 25 lbs by the end of the month.

My doc says 6 weeks. I was banded on the 28th :frown:

I had surgery 9/28 thurs and am back to work today, I feel a little sore but for a desk job I can handle it. I wouldn't do any lifting though. Try and take it easy!

I really want to hear from people who have been banded in Mexico. Especially Dr. Kuri. I am self pay and see this as my only option, nobody will loan me 16k. Any opinions? I am scheduled for August but am slightly worried about it. I have had my gall bladder removed years ago so I am not afraid of sugery. I guess I am worried about getting what I pay for. Also my BMI is not 40 it's like 38 I don't think it's as strict in Mexico. I don't think they have even asked me my BMI. Thanks!
