Hi my name is Myra and I had surgery on 5/7/07. I went to Mexico and my surgeon was Dr. Aceves, wow what a dish :kiss2: I havent had a fill yet, having only just got over the gas pains in my shoulder, they said I was still swollen and it would be bad for a fill. So far I have lost 23 pound, which I am really pleased with, and like others, I am losing inches so I am happy with that. I hope to get to know you all and find support as well as giving it.

hugs

Myra

I was wondering, you don't have to go to mexico for every fill do you? it's sounds likeyou are really kicking butt with the weight loss good job. I know some docs won't give a fill if you are losing 1-2 lbs a week. I won't go to get my first fill till the first week in Aug and I hope he gives me a fill because I feel like I can eat anything. I am not eating everything because I am only 3 weeks post op but I fell nothing when I eat my blended foods. anyway I think you will like it on the web page there is alot of good and smart people here that are very helpful. keep up with the hard work.

Hi CD

No I dont have to go back to Mexico for the fills but as it is only just over the border and it is all inclusive in the price for life I will do. I have every faith in my surgeon so the journey is well worth it to me. I live in OC anyway so we only have to drive to San Deigo and get picked up at the airport by their driver and taken there and driven back the same day. Mind you, having said that we will probably do the drive ourselves. I dont really feel like I need a fill yet as I have programmed my brain to feeling full anyway, but when I do need on I will go.
