  1. Oh Clynn..that is without fluoro. I would love to go back to Mexico, but with two small kids and such a costly flight it may be more trouble than it's worth, you know?
  2. Thanks snowbird. I am gonna call them tomorrow. Jackson is only about a three hour drive for me.
  3. I had already found one local Dr. to do my fills for $1500/year, but today I decided to call around the local bigger cities (Mobile, AL..New Orleans, LA) and they all said they wouldn't touch anyone banded in Mexico. They said too many people have way too many problems. I just wonder where these people are going with all these problems since none of you seem to have any. I am so freaking nervous.
  4. How much are fills at the OCC? It seems like by the time we buy plane tickets and a hotel room there that it would be way too expensive. How exactly does that work out?
  5. I didn't know he founded it..I thought he just got aproval for them to see his patients. :-?
  6. How cool is that? My Brady is a blonde too!
  7. Hi Krista! My surgery is not until the end of the month but I just wanted to wish you tons of luck! I can't wait to hear about your experience.
  8. mona-camille~ I cut out all caffeine..no snacking..and have a shake in the morning, lean cuisine at lunch, and a small dinner. (like a child's plate) It seems to be working so far. Of course I have had success in the past dieting like this only to gain it back within a year which is why I need this band! Good luck..I am here if you need to chat or need support. >
  9. Thanks Pammie. =D> I went ahead and booked us a room in San Diego. I was just too scared to risk missing my plane.
  10. I am wondering if we should stay in San Diego Saturday night since we have to be on the plane at 640 am?
  11. I am really worried to wait until 12 days before my surgery to lose the 10-12 lbs I need to lose. I have already started cutting back and I have lost 6 lbs! I am really happy about it. It is amazing how just a small amount of weight loss boosts your self esteem. Gosh how will I feel when I have lost 50 lbs? I will be crazy with happiness!
  12. I am a true southerner and LOVE my sweet tea. Today I bought some Crystal Light tea and it is sooo good! Just thought I would share in case anyone loved iced tea like me.
  13. Hello! Good luck on your journey! I am so excited for you! I also had low progesterone and it was causing me lose every pregnancy I had until I realized it and was put on progesterone. I am also getting my lap band on March 28th. Is Dr. Martinez doing yours?
  14. I really need to start getting this stuff together! I have heard you can buy meds in Tijuana. Can you bring those back?
  15. clynn~ I am sure everyone here realizes that they can't give or get medical advice from this forum, however sometimes we are just asking for your "experience" with a situtaion. It helps so much to hear from people, such as yourself, that have already been through the surgery.
  16. I am not sure, hopefully someone will know. As for the Nexium, I read in Dr. Ortiz book that you can throw them out because this surgery heals acid reflux. I am looking forward to that! I have been on Prilosec for about 7 years.
  17. I am not worried about the surgery either, mainly the flight! I haven't flown since I was 17 years old! I am also leaving my two beautiful babies at home with my Mom and I have never left them. Brady is 3 and Bella is 1 1/2. I hope I do well!
  18. I know everyone is different, but it gives me so much pleasure to hear everyone's success stories! Way to go on your weight loss!! >
  19. Thanks! I guess I will just stick to my DL and Birth cerificate!
  20. My surgery is March 28th and I was told to lose 10-12 lbs. I am scared to wait until 12 days pre-op to do the diet too. I started it this morning and am hoping I can get the weight off that they want me to. I also am a smoker so this is gonna be very tough to say the least. I am right there with you! >
  21. Thanks for sharing. You have calmed my nerves..I can't wait to hear the rest of your story. Here is my myspace http://www.myspace.com/mom2twocuteones
  22. When did you get banded and how much weight have you lost? How much did you lose in the first 6 months?
  23. Does anyone know the best way to get a passport and how long it takes? Thanks!
  24. Thanks..we have to be back at the airport in San Diego for a 640 am flight so I am just really worried.
