Vera, please know that your friends here will be thinking about you, and praying that all goes well. May God guide the surgeon's hands and your recovery be easy. (((Hugs)))

Good luck Vera! I'm sure that Dr. Sanchez will get the situation corrected so that you can have the benefits of a working band again.

We'll be thinking of you!

P.S. Just got back from Monterrey and the weather there is beautiful :)

Betty, your so sweet.

You guys remembered me..(tears) I'm choked up. I was just checking my flight trying to get my boarding pass, it's 5 hour flight that I'm not looking forward to. But I'm looking forward to finding this leak and getting back on the wagon. I'm abit more nervous this time around, but ready to deal with this.

I've been doing so much reading lately on several boards.

A lady with a VG band, similar in size to my band the AMI, says she only gets restriction for about 2 weeks after a fill and is asking for an other fill within a month. I also talked to Don Mills a few weeks ago he says the VG band is for larger BMI's/Stomachs, where I was thinking it was the latest and greatest.

Trying to do research on which type of bands erodes more often is

virtually impossible.

and there's what Sue said....most of us will only lose about 65% with just

the band alone, GOT to sexercise (blossom) more often if I'm going to lose that last 30%. There's allot going on in my head and I'm probably not making any sense.

So... If this leak is in the band, not just in the tubing or port, I will be re-banded. Deep down inside I want to be rebanded. I want an Inamed 10cm band. I have this large AMI band that is unserviceable in the states.

Ya I could have lived with this leak it's quite slow, but I'm not going to.

This is my last trip to Mexico for medical reasons.

Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers.

Tricia thanks for all the PM's and for the weather report...cause now I know which flip-flops to bring, right Bright...as she sits in the snow.

Carol, say hi to everyone at McKeen's support group meeting...wish I was there.

I'll report back on Sunday night. Love you guys.
