Recommended Posts

Wtf just happened here! Lol.

Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using LapBandTalk

I'm getting a bit dizzy myself. To which I'm entitled (I suppose), as a natural born blonde.

No, just a spirited discussion! All good!

You know how everyone has different personalties, some clash,some like an argument (not me, noooo),some submissive. You get it! Love means never having to say your sorry! Can't we all get along! Yes, we can!

I had my band done in Mexico with Dr. Ortiz on Oct 4th. My band is FDA approved Realize 11cc.

For those of you that didn't do your bands in Mexico please don't judge the entire country as using discountinued lap bands. That is not the case always. There are many reputable doctors in Mexico that use FDA approved bands.

I'm just saying if you choose to go out of the country I would highly recommend doing a lot of research as I did on the band & doctors.

I am a self pay patient and my total surgery cost... So far has been $8500 is it that much cheaper to go to Mexico with travel and hotel costs? I'm just curious? It never even occured to me to go to Mexico.

For my wife and I it was $5500 + $700 airfare = $6200 plus the benefit of a more experienced doctor doing the surgery (which was big for me).

You and another person can stay for free at the Hospital for 2 nights (night before and night after). If you want to stay longer you can...but it will be roughly around $70 per night for any decent hotel in Tijuana !

Good grief!!

MD- kudos to you for being such a good sport! It amazes me the regression of behavior disguised as "spirited discussion."

So we got our bands in different places....let's try and respect each other and move on.

Thanks Charmie ....I'm not perfect and I do try to put things in perspective. I didn't take it personal, but I do thank you for your kindness !

P.S. I'm just so happy I'm already down 9lbs in 6 days post op :) and I have thanked God everyday even for the smallest of successes so far.

Continued success,

MD

I was banded in 2003, in Texas. I have the 4cc band. I have had no problems what so ever with the older band. Just went in for my NINE year followup. Everything was perfect. No slippage, no pouch dialation, no erosion, everything was great. I have met my goal, then recently gained about 15 pounds back, so she added .7cc to the 2.5cc I already had. So, now I am at a total of 3.2cc. Hopefully this is what I need!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
