Oh I did joke with Dr. B that some of us ladies were contemplating getting tattoos where our ports are to make life easier for him. He laughed and asked if we would be bringing the tatooist to radiology...so we can find it in the first place LOL. Did I mention he is cute?

Yes Melissa you have mentioned that before. :) I would love to get a tattoo there we should try it? lol Did you spill the Beans that I think he is cute? Huh Huh???? OH dear I am going to be embarrassed now when I see him. lol Oh well. :heh:

Dianne, you saw a nakie man when you had the lap band done the first time? And he was a grey hairy wrinkly kind of dude? Heh, I dont know if you want that to happen twice but I can relate to wanting it to be a younger man. But you know what they say about lightening doesnt strike twice in the same spot. :) You never know what you may end up seeing. :)

Nah didn't spill the Beans....I didn't want to get all giggly. He already thinks me silly because I hop up on the table and my legs start swinging just like a little kid.

Diane I didn't see any naked men when I had surgery...and I was doing laps around the hall. Though one of the morning nurses was kinda cute. Not sure I'd want to wrisk seeing an old naked man lol.....maybe it was the drugs, were your drugs good?

You know ladies, now that you mention it; I've given Dr. Kuwada and staff this web address too. I don't know if they've ever come here or not?

I've seen a pic of Dr. B; he is cute. I've never seen a pic of Dr. V.

After both of my fills, Dr. Bauman told me 3 days liquids and 3 days mushy food.

You all are cracking me up with naked old man stuff. Let me just say that I am very happy that he was holding on to the doorway and not something else too. That would be a very bad visual that I don't even want to think about.:)

Mrs Sabe try this link here's dr v -

http://www.obesityhelp.com/morbidobesity/bariatric+surgeon+profile+David+C+Voellinger+kll.html

Not sure he makes me giggly. My coworker said dr b reminded her of a surfer dude. I am unsure because I am focused on the numbers and the skills, not hte looks.

Mrs Sabe how does dr K look? I would never say which of my dr's makes me giddy. Hee.... It's not the spine center dr. Yes i'm 32 trapped in an old ladies body.

Jennifer,

Dr. K's picture is on the previous page of this thread. He's not a hottie, but not hard on the eyes either; kind of the same way I'd describe Dr. V from the picture on that link.

Okay, call me wierd, but I think Dr V is very cute! He's frat boy preppie. Oh yeah! I haven't seen Dr B. or Dr K. yet...wait, I've seen a pic of Dr B but it's been a loooong time. ???

You guys crack me up! Here's the link to Dr Kuri. He's older and fatherly, kind and handsome. www.beliteweight.com

Okay, his website changed, he has a pic of Drs. Morales and Dr. Espinosa with him. Kuri is the larger man on the left. If you "click here to continue" a close-up comes up. He looks heavy-set in the pics but when I met him in person, his waist is very small, his chest is big, he looks like he gets lots of good exercise. Anyhow, MY doctor is the CUTEST!!! LOL

Welcome back. I too didn't have the best restriction until I was were you are now. 2.6 I finally feel that this is a great fill for me. Not just b/c I have some restriction- not alot mind you BUT b/c I am finally long enough out(8mnths) to understand how I should be using my band. I am a slow learner that way & finally I am getting to the point where I stop myself & than wait awhile before eating again. Before i would eat too fast/sometimes PB & than I could eat anything ususally after that.

It hit me about 7 mnths out where I started to understand the feeling I got w/the band or didn't get. I learned how to fill it slowly w/good foods & wait...just wait. I hope your fill does the same for you & now that your already exercising your on your way! Good for you!!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!
