I'm getting the mommy makeover Sept 10th. I am self pay and will be going to Mexico. if I remember I will update on the actual surgery.

I have no regrets, but I sometimes wish I had my full tummy for just 1 day when something taste so good and I want more. your so early out, ask yourself this same question at 9 months. i bet it will be the same as my answer.

I ate watermelon 2 weeks out and had no problems, oh I remember thinking it was the best I ever had

all I have is skin which fills a c cup(was a dd)

I did chex rice cereal after 2 weeks they were really easy and broke down in my mouth to nothing. at that time I wasnt worried about carbs,calories,fat. I was weak and frankly needed it. I don't eat it anymore since it is a "slider" food and I can eat alot, I would NOT eat any nuts until 1 month post op.

I paid 4,250 in TJ

So here goes my rant! I've been wanting to post this for a while but thought I might be attacked by others, well screw it! I have noticed in quite a bit post here and on other forums, how some people eat and exercise and get to goal in 6 or so months and just seem so perfect. No sweet, no carbs, only salad, protein and water. Well my question to you is WHY did you have surgery????? you seem not to have any issues losing weight, seems to me you could have surely done this on your own. I'm starting to feel like weight lose surgery is becoming the next diet fad. I am not perfect, nowhere it. I could never follow a diet for more than a month. It may sound like I'm envious, well your right. I'm 9 months out and still have food and head issues.

im not sure, check this web site http://www.mtzionmedical.com/ you can call them

dr. almanza is $4500 and $4750 w/band removed

Yes!!!!!!! my husband is so tired of hearing it but i just cant stop talking about.

im going to get my lapband removed and get the sleeve in feb-march w/ dr almanza using tax money

me too in feb w/ dr. almanza

Im also planning to have my sleeve with dr.almanza in feb(taxes) i already have the band but its not working, i had it for 3yrs now and ready to get it out, this place looks and sounds great and i cant beat the price 4750.00 with band removal.but i also see bad things but i was told that most of those comments are fake, im still not 100% sure what to do. i want this band out of me, maybe i'll see you there

I went though Ready 4 a Change myself judy is great i had it done aug 2007 and we still talk like it was yesterday. i have the 4cc band and my aunt has the 10cc band and wishes she would have gotten the 4cc band like me, im not sure why i got the 4 and she got the 10 and went to the same dr. all i can say is to listen to dr zapata and what he recommends will be right for you, everyone is different and what good for somelse may not be for you. oh i went you go to mexico BRING SOMEONE WITH YOU i had to go alone because my family didnt support me going to mexico and my husband had to say with the kids and my aunt just had plastic surgery. i was really hard and painful without help. i hope everything goes well for you. good luck!!!

ok so ive had my band around 3yrs and have lost 30lbs and then got prego so now my weight lost is back to 0lbs. i dont i ever got a "good" fill. i would get a fill and then go back for a check up and it was gone or just alittle was left, so i was blaming the fill doctors, and went to alot of them(fill centers usa). i finally talk to my doctor in Mexico and he gave me the name of a really good fill doctor at Wellspring Procedures in texas, it was 7hr ride from new orleans but well worth it she told me i was sweating the Fluid out of my band so she put OMNIPAQUE in and told me if i sweat this out she would be in shock.OMNIPAQUE is also used as a fix a flat to seal any leaks and can be seen under floro. i have a 4cc band with 2.9cc of omnipaque. does anyone have omnipaque? can you drink ice cold drinks?(i cant)

i have the pain all the time and ive had my band for 1year 2 months i going to try the b12
