Sorry I did not write back, but we just got back from Mexico yesterday. I have not talked to anyone yet, I thought I would wait until we got home.

Melissa

have you already spoken to the Dr. about filling a patient from out of country? How much does it cost?

My husband and I are going to be banded on Monday. Here is a fill Doctor in Souix City, IA.

Hi Everyone,

My husband and I are being banded on October 13. I read the forum everyday and have picked up some really good information from all of you.

I know that I read some ideas of what to take with you, and I can not find them now. Just need to know what to take and we will also be staying

a extra day in San Diego before we fly home. Any tips would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Melissa

Diet pop is going to be the hardest thing for me. I drink about 10-12 diet pepsi's a day.

I guess I should try to stop drinking it now. I only have 4 left here at home, when those

are gone I will not buy anymore.

I am new to the forum and will not be banded until Oct 13th, but just had a few questions.

1. What is BPing?

2. Why no drink with meals?

3. Why no soda pop?

Thanks

Melissa

My husband and I are being banded on October 13th. We are flying in on the 12th.

Anyone else.

Thanks that helps a lot.

Thanks for the help. Will OCC drop you off at the hotel.

My husband and I are getting banded in Oct. and the only flight out was late at night, we will be spending the night in

in San Diego and returning home the following morning. Anyone have a hotel that they have stayed at.

Just did the research on getting banded. Have done a ton of research, and Dr.Ortiz came highly recommended. Scheduled for October 13th. Am starting to get a little nervous. Have battled the bulge for the last time, I hope. My husband and I are both getting it done. If anyone has any advise or comments, they would be appreciated.

Thanks to everyone. I have called OCC and talked to Lori and Dr. Miranda has called by husband and talked to him about a diet. He needs to get down to 399lbs for the band. We are going to start today. It is such a scary thing to think about at his weight, but we really do not have a choice. It is nice to talk to someone who has had this done. Our families are not crazy about the whole Mexico thing.

My husband and I are thinking of getting the band done and my concern is that his weight is 425lbs, has anyone had the band done at this weight.

How safe is it. My weight is 240lbs. Thanks for your help.
