    Thanks for the input. I am glad I am not the only one suffering with this. I has been getting better everyday but sometimes it feels like it did the first week of surgery. Maytee

    I read of some of us having port pain but have any of you continue having shoulder pain? I called my Dr. and she told me I could have trapped air and to come in for an X-ray. I got banded on 3-11-08. I think it's very weird, I get real intense pain to where I am rubbing my shoulder and need to take Advil. I would love to hear some feed back on this!!! Maytee

    Ok, I can't get this to work. I paste it on to the end of my signature and them nothing happens after I update my signatures. What am I missing? Maytee

    I had a small problem with constipation so I called my Dr. and She recomended Mirilax in poweder form. It's a stool softener that totaly dissolves in water. You take it for 7 days and now all is regular again. Maytee

    I plan on renting a car. Its 30 more dollars to get the special insurance to go into Mexico. OCC is just over the border just after the first stop light. My husband has to work in San Diego that week and I am going to tag along. His work is paying for the rental and I fly free with him. So for me it will be very cheap! I do think the deal for 299 is worth it if you want to make a little vacation out of it. Good luck! Maytee

    I remember Dr. Miranda saying to me to wait 30 before food and 30 min after. It works for me. That has been one of my biggest struggles, not eating and drinking at the same time. The thought of never really eating hot spicy food is sad. Oh well, I do at time have to eat ice or take a couple of sips if water because it drives me crazy. I do sympathize with watching the clock about when to drink and when not to drink. Mayt ee

    Thanks for that info. I have been struggling with the fact that I can almost eat just as much as I have before. It makes sense, I have my first fill scheduled for May 5th at OCC and I can't wait to get it. Maytee

    Clynn, I see you have had an unfill. Why? Maytee

    I am getting my first fill on May 5th. I am very excited and a little afraid of getting it filled. I have hardly had any problem with any food. I am really chewing my food so maybe that is what is making the difference for me. I have only lost 15 lbs since being banded on March 11th. I have started working out doing cardio to get my metabolism going. What are you doing to keep your weight loss going? Maytee

    I have had steak recently at a wedding. I haven't had any problems as long as I chew it every well. I had a problem with the piece of wedding cake I ate. It felt like a lump of glue going down my throat. The hardest thing for me is not eating and drinking together. Maytee

    Thanks for the info I have it ready to Tivo! I do find it very hard to chew everything to death. I understand it but it's harder that it sounds. Maytee

    We had AC in our room and it was freezing. We had to keep it on the lowest setting at night and off during the day. We where on the third floor. It was great! >

    If you have gas now just wait until after the surgery. I had no idea I would become a professional burper! Holy Cow! For me it doesn't matter if I use a straw or not. Burping changes, it's a lot stronger and more of it. If this is the worst of it I can handle it. I wouldn't change the fact that I am happy to start to live a healthier life style. Maytee

    Oh Girl, I am afraid of the same thing. I have been on liquids cheating a little bit and not feeling much. I can't wait to get my first fill. I know that we will be afters once we get our fills. Count your calories and don't lose faith. It took a long time for us to get fat so it's going to take some time for us to get skinny. I have faith in you! > Maytee

    When I was there March 11th we used the credit card at the hotel and took about 200 with us. If you go to nice place to eat they do take credit. We really didn't spend much after the surgery. Your going to be on liquids so your Hubby won't need to much cash. Bring money if you want to go shopping for fake hand bags or keep sakes. It's a lot safer than you think. A taxi to the main tourist shopping area from the hotel was $5.00. Good luck! Getting the Lap-Band done is the best thing I have done for my self. I am so happy!
