44 yo Female, single and looking for a person to help me get on track and stay on track. SUpport would be nice. I have no support since I was banded in Mexico. Down 27 lbs so far. Im located in Idaho. Anyone out there who can help?

Hi,

I'm a 46 yr old Canadian female, banded Jan 25, 08 in Tijuana, Mexico. So far I'm down about 40 or so lbs!!! I can't believe it! Drop me a line if you want to chat or swap experiences.

Hi, I'd love to chat with you! I was banded Feb. 7th, 2008 in Mexicali by Dr. Aceves. Im kinda frustrated since I havent lost any weight since I got back in Feb. Ive had 3 fills and feel very tight but dont seem to be losing weight. Drives me crazy! And I sure cant find any support here in the States. I love my band, but want the weight to fall off! Im off to work now so if you want you can drop me an email at LisaLynelle@aol.com.....Id love to chat and share stories and maybe encouraging conversations! Thanks again, Lisa

I was banded by Dr. Aceves on Feb 13/08 but still haven't had a fill. I'm still trying to find a fill doc close to me. I'm waiting to hear back from a doc in Montreal. It has been very frustrating! I haven't gained but I have only lost the 15lbs that I orginally lost the first month after surgery. If this doc in Montreal won't take me then I will have to go back to Mexicali. How long did you go between fills and how many cc's did you get? I have the J&J band. I really wish I had researched the whole fill thing a bit more. I live in Ont and if you were banded in Mex, they won't touch you.

Ive had 3 fills so far and still not losing weight. I have the J & J band too and have only lost 25 lbs. None since I got back from Mexico! If you'd like to chat PM me or write to my email at LisaLynelle@aol.com... .Id love to share experiences with you since I have no support either....

Hi,

Regarding getting fills in Canada, I would recommend putting a thread out on this site requesting names of fill Dr.s or Nurses. I have a fill nurse here in Saskatoon that charges $75.00 each. I've had one so far (at about 6 wks post op) with good results. I'm sure that there are fill personnel out your way! Let me know how you make out.

Hi Lisa,

I would enjoy being your online buddy. I am 44 and live in Everett Washington. I was banded on Jan 28th and so far have lost 45 pounds. My email address is Tiggerfan0464@yahoo.com. Looking forward from hearing from you. :thumbs_up:
