Hello all!

I've lurked here a few weeks while contemplating my options. I'm now schedule for banding with Dr. Joya in Puerto Vallarta on Oct. 27th. I'm slightly nervous but more excited. I look forward to sharing the journey with you fine folks.:clap2:

Welcome to LBT! If you've been lurking, I'm sure you know this is a great site for support and information!

Welcome to LBT! Glad you came out and started posting. :clap2: :clap2:

Welcome, Winga, and congratulations on your decision.

Hi there and welcome to LBT! I'm glad you found us. Don't be afraid to ask us questions, we are all here to support one another.

You have come to the write place. I've only been hare for a few days and everyone has been so forthcoming and inspirational. Although I am not currently banded they have really increased my appeal to how life altering it can be. Good luck on your journey and hope this is the start of something amazing.

you will love Dr Joya !!!!!! good decision!!!

Welcome,

I don't know if you know it or not but you have a fabulous fill doctor right there in Cinci, Dr. Trace Curry. He is mine and I had my surgery in Mexico. He is wonderful. He had done thousands of fills. I go back for a fill this week. Here is his website in case you need a fill doctor and how lucky right there, I drive almost 5 hours each way to see him.

welcome to band land! Who is going to do you fills, I go to dr Curry he is great, take care!

I also heard Dr Curry is great for fills you are lucky he is close to you!!

Hey pjk,

I go to Dr. Curry today. Isn't he a pure sweetheart. I'm leaving tomorrow night to drive up as he is almost 5 hours each way and spend the night and get my 3rd fill on Tuesday and then spend the night again to see if I am too tight or not and I'll leave on Wednesday. I wished everyone could use him.

Thanks for all the great support. Yes, I've heard tremendous things about Dr. Curry. I'm lucky, he's about 10 minutes from me. I haven't contacted his office yet but will soon to let them know that I'll soon be a "Mexican Bandster" looking for a fill doctor. How much does he charge per fill? Does he do the fills there at Deaconess?

I'm curious about why you didn't go with Dr. Curry for ur surgery...he's done close to 400 and has an excellent reputation...did you hear something otherwise...he's doing my band on 11/10.
