If you pay for the surgery all at once with paypal they don't charge that fee and I used My credit card to get points too. It was great. Just got back from surgery today. It was well worth it!

Had Surgery yesterday and felt great so went to the Hotel. Now I have preasure and pain in my ribs but not in the shoulders? Did anyone else have this? Im pretty sure its just gas pain but just checking to see if anyone else expierenced this? Thanks

I'm Being banded tomorrow but have done soom research and There is a Dr in Flagstaff Dr Berger That does the fills with Fluro

You Can do this! Keep your eyes focused on the goal (Your new healthier life) Im Flying today for surgery tomorrow and I will let you know how it goes. I'm mostly nervous about leaving my 6 children while Im in Mexico But its also what excites me No Children for 3 days ! I too have a special needs child (so I know the fear of leaving them) But it is so we can be with them longer. Keep your head up!

Happy Birthday Tara, This will be the best present ever! See Ya there! Margaret

Wishing you the best. Two surgerys in two weeks no fun. You will be a whole new person! Get better fast!!!

Congrats! Was hoping for you.

That Is Awesome! Thats what makes it all worth it

So I'm being banded Friday and have a question. I Take a Multivitamin, B Complex, Fish Oil, Red rice yeast,and aloe vera, and sometimes Vit C. I feel they help keep me healthier. With 6 children I need all the help I can get. I also hear that hair loss is a problem so My question is as they are almost horse pills how do I get my Vitamins? What do you all do????? And Do I need to stop any of these before surgery?

Whoo Hoo!!! Getting so excited but must be a little nervous (noticed Im Bitting my nails) See Ya there =D>

Awesome! Inches means so much more than scale to me anyday. That is so exciting keep up the good work

Wow that is Awesome! Do you have Pics? Keep up the good work. Everyone says this is a slow weight lose but 45 Lbs in 3 months and 10 days seems really fast to me. Whatever your doing your doing it right Congrats!

Thank you for your post it makes me feel better about upcoming surgery

What an Inspiratin. Congrats!!! When were you banded? Please post pics (it keeps us all going) =D>

Hello Just wanted you to know I am going through same thing but have decided to go to Mexico (against all in the families opinions). My husband got on and researched dr ortiz like crazy and he is content now. I also went to see the #1 dr in AZ last year and he kept all my info but I didnt have the 16K so I emailed him and he told me he proctered under Dr ortiz and that he is a very good surgeon. His only concern was my Fills and having to travel back and forth but I have found 4 places in AZ that do it for about 200 (yes thats out of pocket) My surgery is sept 12th and I am sooooo excited for this change in my life. I just wanted you to know we have researched and find Dr Ortiz to be awesome. I am having to charge it too but I think I will save so much in food to make up for it LOL

Congrats!!!! Enjoy vacaton

Julie I just want you to know you inspire me. Don't beat yourself up as today is a new day. Your the best Keep your head up and kill the gossip girls with Kindness.

Thank you I will. I dont get banded until the 12th but I will keep a diary Thanks!
