Hello my name is Sandy.:rolleyes2:

I am very excited. I just had lap band surgery April 18th. I had my surgery done in Mexico and paid for it out of pocket. The surgeon was Dr. Haucuz. He could not of been more wonderful. It was nothing but GREAT! I am so looking forward to becoming thin again. I have lost 15 lbs thus far. I feel good... a little sore in the tummy area but that is expected. Good Luck to all who is having lap band surgery.

Hey Sandy-

Welcome and congratulations!! The lap band is an awesome tool!! Good luck with your journey.

Thank you....

It is gonna be fun watching myself get smaller and smaller.:rolleyes2:

Congrats sandy,

Enjoy the journey of a happier and healthier you.:thumbup:

Welcome Sandy

You have just made the best choice for your life. It is fun to watch your body change and get thinner, Im just 5 weeks out and have dropped a pant size already.

I also was self pay and went to Mexico, I had soo many people freaking out before I went. I had Dr Almanza and I had a wonderful experience too. They were very supportive and caring.

Keep posting we love to hear about different journeys.

Hi:

Was wondering if Dr Almanza had a website I could look at?

Thanks for your reply.

Hi there Sandy

Welcome and congrats on your surgery. Sounds like your recovery has been fast and smooth.

I was banded on the 23rd April and am doing ok (touch wood!) too. Feeling a lot better now that I can have full fluids (milk, yoghurt, Protein drinks, smoothies, pureed Soups, etc).

Though you might be interested to know that there's a forum for all the April bandster's HERE - in case you'd like to share experiences with others of us being banded at around the same time. It's a wonderful place for support.

Also, you've been added to the list of April bandsters HERE.
