Im looking for information on Dr. Manuel Joseph Ramírez Kubicek im planning on going to DR. and get the lap band done on August 26 buti cant find any information on the doctor. Can someone please direct me in the right direction. thanks Mell

wow im so sorry to hear that this happen to you...

i go on sat. for my free consult... the only people that know im getting this done is my sister and my bf... plus all you guys... i dont want my family to know bc they will judge & talk sh*t if they dont see a drastic change... so i will keep it to myself(+2).... I WANT TO GET THIS SO BAD... $$$ is an issue bc i have to pay for it out of pocket & its an expense that i dont need right now but i really want it.... the other issue im having is i have a hiatal hernia & most people have problems with it... so idk lets see what happens sat... thanks for all the comments i really appreciate it

thanks for the advise... i know its a hard process, i mean all these skinny h03's will think that its the easy way out....

Am i taking the easy way out by getting this done? i know that people that are not banded will say that i can do it on my own but are they right??? i dont think i can do this on my own but when i see others loosing it without the band it makes me think is this the right choice?

OMG Im so worried to get this done.....i have a Hiatal Hernia and worry about complications... this is something to think about bc im self pay

i have a tattoo on my back and i was wondering if it will change??

congrats....I hope that everything turns out great for you...im sure it will.

one last question if you dont mind... i hope in not being too foward but did u pay with carecredit? please keep me updated....

thats so funny you told me that. I emailed them today lol. how about the fills are they included?

WOW this is so expensive. One office quoted me at 20,000+ () for self pay. I really want this to get done! If you know of a good surgeon in Fl that takes out of town clients please let me know I live near south FL. I just want to be happy :thumbup: Mell :@

Thanks will and bell...I will take everything you said "wrote" into consideration. I didn’t think anyone would read it. i know i have to change my life around bc i cant keep feeling like this day in and out. its just not healthy.

so im not banded but i really want to be. i try to loose weight on my own but once i dont see any change i loose motivation. i dont know what to do to. i feel like crap most days bc of how i look. Im always called the cute girl and that i would be so pretty only if i was skinny. all i want to do is cry today. im having a terrible pain in my back and it might be kidney stone. i dont want to go through my life with medical issues. I want to be healthy but i just cant see myself doing it. i wish i could be on the biggest loser but without all the cameras.

:smile2: How often do you have to get a fill...... im looking at possibly going out of the country to get the lap band.....

I know that i have a pretty face but i dont want to be that girl with only a pretty face. I want to be a HOT girl. I love to go out with fam & friends. I came one here to see how this lapban works i think its my only hope.
