OK guy's,:clap2: lets have our Own thread and take about our bands and stuff..My name is Ted and I live in Oregon . I'm going to get my band Jan. 31st in TJ. Mexico with Doc. Kuri and his team..I was on the Jan. bandsters thread but I think I was the only guy there and felt left out.. 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

Hey Randy: Picture this...a gut that has no place to release the gas from carbonation...sounds like a bomb. That is what you will be making inside your body. After banding you will have more gas than you ever did before without the carbonation. You will learn to move around to allow a burp to release the pressure. Try to lessen anything that makes gas ore you may explode, or wish that you did. Good Luck Banding works but has limits. Listen to others so that you do not need to have their pain.

I watched video, OUCH, but looks right.

Hi Guy's

I have not been banded yet but I'm jumping through hoops. My Doc is Elmer Valin in Connecticut. Going to see the Nutritionist and Physiologist on Monday.

Hey welcome Tarami !!!!:clap2:

-------------------------

that video is great, can't wait to try it...

-------------------------

I'm still sick, getting a little better I guess , been loading up on drugs..

-------------------------

I guess I'm lucky, I didn't have to do the nutritionist or a physiologist with my Doc. That must mean he thinks I'm Fat and Nuts and don't need a second opinion on it..:guess.. LOL... Boy the weekend is here already and Tue will be here sooner then I think for the trip to Mex. I sure hope they have a extra long bed for me, I'm 6ft. 6in. tall and I really don't want my feet to hang off the edge of the bed all the time..later guys Ted

That's me Ted.

I'm arriving a little earlier than that. I'm actually in Florida right now for work and don't have my information with me, but I believe I get to San Diego around 10:30 a.m.

See you there.

Good luck on your journey. I'm sure it will all go smoothly. In a couple days you'll have this behind you and begin your life on the Light Side. Let us know how it goes.

Slim Fast drinks, easy, you can get them at lots of places, I have found that I like them better at room temp and not cold.
