I booked with them on 5/26. My surgery was 5 days later on 5/31. I asked for a 'soon as possible date' because we were going on vacation the end of June and I wanted my incisions to be healed.

I so agree with this. :nono:

Upping the calories without adding to the carbs is so hard for me but I know I need to as I've noticed that I loose more weight with more calories. Watching this thread, come on gals, give us some fresh new ideas! =)

Don't worry, it will pass after a few days.

Wow! A HUNDRED pounds!! Congratulations!!!

Tell your husband that I'm not fake and that my husband actually went with me to Dr Aceves. haha. Check my blog if you want to read of my experience so far. =)

Your story could be my very own. I ended up moving from lapbandtalk to verticalsleevetalk and getting a sleeve. Couldn't be happier. BTW, according to Dr Aceves nurse, they do just as many band to sleeve revisions as they do sleeves...

I didn't really "need" anybody although my husband was there. You'll do fine even if you are alone. :thumbup:

I was done by him on May 31st of this year. Had an awesome experience. Congrats to ya!

I was wondering if someone from each stage of banding (before, week following, 2 weeks after, 3 weeks after and 4 weeks after) would be willing to post what your day looks like. I'm not asking for exact foods eaten, but maybe something like this: 8am Protein shake 9am started Water, sip 64 oz over the course of the day 10am drank more from Protein Shake 11am treadmill - 20 minutes etc See, I've read all the material and it's in my head but I'm just not sure how to keep it in front of me. My surgery is 2 weeks away. Thanks in advance. :thumbup:

A HUGE congratulations to you!!

I'm not banded yet so please forgive me for not knowing but what do you mean 'plugged'? Does this happen often??

Thank you for the information. Is your surgery date so far away by choice or is he booked that far out?

Thank you. I found this post: http://www.lapbandtalk.com/f11/researching-mexican-lap-band-surgeons-101-a-66635/ and emailed the gal that wrote it. I'm hoping she'll make a suggestion too.

My low life doctor quoted me a price of $16500 (all inclusive) when I called to get pricing for lap band surgery. I make an appointment, then go to a nutritionist per his instruction (additional $250), go to a general doctor (per his instruction) for a letter of medical necessity and ekg (additional $300) and how he's telling me that they have gone up on their price $3000. So, can anyone recommend a doctor in Mexico? I hear they do the surgery for around $7000 (all inclusive).

Does this happen to everybody that is banded?
