Hi Jody:

I was banded in T.J. by Dr. Kuri on 2/23.

I am at last on solids ( more or less) and doing great. How are you coming along? I do have problems not eating at night, but jello has become my friend.

Hi, I am Jody I live in Puyallup and was banded in Monterey, Mexico 3 weeks ago and would really like to have some email buddies to talk with about all that is happening and maybe we can encourage and help eachother. So email me whenever you can.

Thanks Jody

Hi Albe,

How was T.J.? Are you feeling good? I am one of those people dealing with all the gas bubbles, how about you? Who do you plan to use for fills? Well, I am off to work, talk at you later.

thanks,

Jody

Hi Jody who was your Dr. in Monterey Mex. I had Dr. Rumbaut and It was the best. I had my surgery in Late november and so far have lost 30 lbs. I went to A fill Dr. in Tacoma twe weeks ago. I had a very unplesent experience. and will not be reterning to this Dr. Besides ever sence my fill I have not lost any more weight. my question to you is what follow-up Dr. are you using. I am so glad to see so meny Bandsters in western Wa. Talk to you all later

I was banded by Dr. Rodregus. I know I spelled that wrong. I have not found a follow up person yet. But I had been told Dr. Ross in Tacoma was good. What was it that you did not like about your appt. in Tacoma?

Thanks,

Jody

Sorry this took so long, been having trouble with my computer and just fix it today.

Hi,

I'm Jody, in puyallup. Banded in mexico 4 weeks ago, down 25 pds. Nice to meet all of you.

I just recently found out that i have a band erosion. I went to Mexico for another fill because for the past several months I just felt something was not right. Well sure enought today dr saw that my band had eroded. I have to have it taken out in 2 weeks and wait 6 months before they will put another one in. I am so sad and depressed about this I just thought maybe there were some bandsters from the seattle are i could meet up with and chat or anyone here that has had the same problem and could tell me what happened to them . anyone I would appreciate if you have had a band erosion and a new band put back in.
