Hi Betty, Are you doing the liquid diet right now, or are you talking about the two weeks after surgery? I never did liquids before surgery, but after I lived off the slim fast drinks. I have friends that loved the tortilla Soup from El Pollo Loco, but they only drank the broth. That was a great treat for them. Where are you having your surgery at?

Hi everyone! I live in Fullerton and would love to find a walking buddy. I can't afford a gym membership, but I need to find some sort of motivation to get out of my apartment and exercise. If anyone would like to get together, please send me a PM. I am coming up on my one year (Jan 16th) and have only lost about 48lbs. I need a jump start. Thanks!

Hi fellow bandsters, I had my surgery March 20th. My first fill April 24th. Both were done in Mexico. I am looking for a local doctor to do a fill. Does anyone know of one who will do fills with a floroscope? Also, willing to do it for someone who had the surgery in Mexico? Any help is appreciated. I live in Newport Beach.

I do not have insurance, that is why I went to Mexico.

My weight loss is only 31 pounds so far. My last fill did nothing, the weight loss is all me. I need another fill and I can't go back to Mexico as they only do fills on Saturday and I work all weekends.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
