I have a question for those that have a band that holds 4cc. I would like to know what everyone's sweet spot is that has a 4cc band. I have got 2 fills and I am already at 3cc. So I am wondering where everyone else is. I got 2.3cc on my first fill and .7 on my second fill.

I actually went to Monterray MX to have my surgery and it was VERY Clean and in a nice hospital.....You should check it out because it's so close to the texas border that you can drink the water which tells you a little bit about the area....I went to PV on vacation and got sick from eating the ice. Anyway I just went back to Monterray, MX to get my fill and I love the doctor and staff they were so sweet and helpful...I even went over there to have the surgery by myself....Yes I was afraid but once I got there I felt so much better. They even have you stay in the hotel that is inside the hospital which is VERY nice. You can go to the website litenfree.com to get more info. if you want to think about going to Monterray.

I was banded by Dr. De la Garza Aug. 22, 2006 and as of Sept. 12, 2006 I have lost 25 lbs. I was so blessed to have picked OCI hospital and all their wonderful staff. Stephanie the cordinator was THE BEST ever. I felt so comfortable there and can't wait to go back and get my first fill. I live in Dallas and I am considering making it a road trip, they say the drive is only around 12hrs long. Start wt=250 Current=225 Banded Aug 22, 2006 5'9 height BE BLESSED!

Littlebird, I am a chiropractic student intern and the BEST liquid Vitamin is....Body Balance made by Lifeforce. I actually just ordered a gallon of it off the internet. It's amazing.....it's even helped people with cancer and major diseases. You can order it off the internet from many different sites. It is expensive but WELL worth it! It's funny because you and I have a lot in common. I will be having my surgery Aug. 22, 2006 and I weigh my highest wt. ever is 250 and my goal is 150. I am doing a gallbladder cleanse this week. and Clear liquids next week to get ready for my band. I AM SO EXCITED about getting healthy and fit and STAYING that way for LIFE! Keep in touch

Has anyone had Dr.Javier De Le Garza in Monterray, MX to their surgery? I am wondering what exactly I should do pre-surgery. It looks like Clear Liquids....any good ideas on that? Due for Band on Aug 22, 2006...wooohooo!

I am not speaking from experience here because I will be getting my band Aug. 21st....But I have been researching like a mad woman. So I am noticing that some doctors say not to take pills EVEN small ones for the first few months. Just thought I would let you know some info I found. They were encouraging liquid meds or vitamins. SOON TO BE BANDED! woohooo! Age:26 5'9" 250lbs Goal=150lbs

I am SOOOO excited about my surgery going to be taken place on Aug. 22nd in Mexico. I am praying that GOD put his angels around me and keep me save and prepare my body to handle the surgery the best it can. I pray that GOD strengthen me mentally to LOSE major weight and get down to a healthy weight for the rest of my life. My goal is to weigh 155lbs. I now weigh 250lbs. I need to lose 95lbs. I want to lift weights and run. I want to be very athletic with no lose sagging skin. I want muscles because I know that with muscle you will be healthier and happier because it will keep your metabolism up and burn calories. SOOO EXCITED ABOUT BEING thinner and healthier. Thank you Jesus
