Do you live in the Reno / Sparks area and are banded???

I would love to get together to compare notes, cup of coffee, start walking with a partner etc.

Interested?

Gail, never have heard anything back from Pam, just sort of disapeared. Don't know what to say.

Chris

does anyone know of a doctor in las vegas to get unfill / fill with. i live near vegas and dont have time to go to mexico, but i need a little fill taken out. the acid reflux irritated my esophogus and im having trouble getting anything down. let me know. thanks.

Hi guys. I technically dont beling on this board, but Im here anyway! I live in Susanville, CA, just an hour away. I come to Reno all the time ususally weekly or more. Dr Ganser will be doing my surgery on 9/17. Im very excited!

You are welcome on this thread whether you have been banded or not, so Welcome!

I would go to the home page, scroll down until you find the thread on Fills and read the posts there. You could probably ask a question there. Just don't wait too long to get some answers, see a doctor if you are having problems. Good Luck!

I was banded this morning at 7;30AM. I can't not believe how good I feel. I was released at noon, and I had a hianal hernia repair too. I am hardly having the shoulder pain any longer. (it is about 12 1/2 hours post op) My throat still is sore.

I know tomorrow can be a different story, but I am so happy right now that this hasn't had first day issues. That was my concern the first day....

DH and I went into contract to purchase a new home. I joked around about how over the next few months, I will be taking pics of me and my body changes and the house as it goes through it's building changes.

I will post more as my life keeps changing. __________________

Robin, Congrats on your banding. I wish you the most! Hope you still feel good tomorrow. I had a hiatal hernia done at the same time too. My doc said it was going to be uncomfortable for a week or so. He was right as far as my case was concerned. Anyway I am all better now and have mended well. Losing a little slower than I would like but at least I am losing.

thanks Gail... I had DR Ganser too. I am like you, how fast isn't the issue, the long term is what I want.

Not from Reno but Winnemucca, to be banded Sep. 14th. Really not looking forward to the 2wk liquid diet. before and after. Dr.Ganser to do my surg. also.

Hi rwel4! Good luck to you! The liquid diet is a bummer but I was determined to do it and I got through it. Before you know it, it's over. I still don't mind the liquid protein shakes. I bought a Magic Bullet blender and the Walmart Vanilla Whey Protein. I also used the stuff that I got through Western Bariatric. I bought different kinds of fresh fruit (frozen also), added some ice and a little fat free milk, the protein and blended it up good, it tastes great! I also used some of the sugar free chocolate syrup in them once in a while. Anyway, welcome to you and best wishes.

I am off today to Minnesota and a family reunion, I will be gone about a week.

Thanks for the info gailannr will try it.

Hope you have fun in Minnesota I bet its cooler than here.

I am in reno!
