A bit back, there was a few guy's that thought our Own thread would be fun, so here it is lets get started..Ted

Chris

Hey....Well I ask a questuion. I have narrowed my doctors down to Dr. Kuri and Dr. Joya in Mexcio. Does anyone have any info on these Drs.? I got some on Kuri(thanx again Ted). But Joya seems to be a fine Doc. also.:help:

:cry I wanted my hubby to do this with me but he said no. He is 320 @ 6'1 I'm going for me first consult on the 23rd of march and he do not even want to go with me for support. :cry

here's what i have to say to that Shay... BOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Lost about 10 pounds so far fellas.. surgery is still a week and 1/2 away. I have to travel about a week after surgery on business. Anyone already banded think that would be a problem?

oh.. one other thing. with my job, I end up doing a lot of entertaining of investment banker types, which generally leads to having 4 course meals and several bottles of wine (which is part of the reason I got to 250 in the first place). anyone had to deal with dinner meeting type situations after being banded? I'm not telling people I'm doing this. The guys in my profression sort of have the reputation of going over board at these dinners too. Crazy appetizers, big steaks, the whole 9 yards. Any advice on how to "stay below the radar" at on these occasions?

I talked to one of my good friends, who has also struggled with this. He probably only needed to lose about 15 pounds though. He actually ditched the alcohol and started eating organic foods. When someone at dinner asks him why he's eating like a little girl, he just says because i want to live passed 40. Generally, the guy harrassing him doesn't have much to say after that. I guess there's a certain element of comrodary (sp?) when you're eating like a glutton.

OUSooner. I linked to your website a few weeks ago and saw a pic of you with Angelo. Pretty cool.

Hey RowdyReptile,

This is just my opinion:rolleyes: , but it sounds like you friend has the write idea, just say your doing it for good heath. There is no imbursement in telling some people about the band, after all it is for your health, that you loseing weight. You will still be able to party with them but just not as much on the food or drink..:hungry:

I went back to work in three days. You might just have to eat soup. I had problems with re-training myself to eat slow, sip liquids(rather than gulp). I went the first two weeks on liquids only. Don't push to go solid till you just can stand it. Since then at business functions I stay with soup. I've had occasions where I PB'd & slimed and you don't want that in front of a group of people.

Well today is the day I get banded. Wish me luck guys.

Regards,

Keith
