  2. You look awsome congrats on you weight loss what a differance. What a cutie (oh yeah and your daughter is also cute Shana-Lee
  3. Jazzy it is funny you said Pinto Beans from Taco Bell.. I have my calender marked for my Pinto Beans i love that stuff.. I am not crazy after all. Shana-Lee
  4. SheRee i know it seems hard to hear someone say dont worry! Anytime you say TJ and surgery in same sentence it make people worry. I was banded on 11/28/2008 and it was everyone on this site that did a great job in easing my fears prior to surgery. I tell you in the back of my mind i though oh lord what have i gotten myself into. But...... From the moment my plane touched down the service was amazing. From all the information i learn on this site i seemed very educated to the common bander. Everything that i was told would happen did. I personally had no surprises. I was and am so greatfull to the support that people on this site gave me, if you read and listen you should have no surprises. The staff and nurses and other banders great. There is some pain and discomfort, but i am a wimp. Try to relax, focus on your pre-diet and keep up this support on this site, your are on your way to a new you. Shana-Lee
  5. I am on about day 10 and noticed that for several days since changing to creamy after eatiing i get this severe bad pain in my left shoulder OMG painfull. Not sure what it was until today when i noticed when a ate or drank to quickly it hit me. Does this happen to anyone? I ate slower tonight and not as much and no shoulder pain. Shana-Lee
  6. I was banded on Nov 28th and i too was very worried due to my extensive medical history. My doctors in the States thought i was nuts and of course so did my family and friends. The OCC took so much care with me you would have thought i was a china doll. They called my doctors clinic and talked on the phone with staff on how to administer my special medications. Dr. Ortiz even came in prior to surgery and talked with me for a long time about Las Vegas and other things. He also said that due to my medical issue he would have to pull out the funky tools. He made me so at ease ( oh yeah hot doc alert also) I love the OCC and staff they are the best. My family and friends ask me if i would do it again or if i had more money would i still go to TJ(OCC) and i say " Hell YES) Jazzy and all you others that supported me through good and bad are also awsome. No worries for all that have pending surgeries. Oh yeah Mrs. Ortiz was soooooo nice Shana-Lee
  7. This is so sad. My heart goes out to the family. Shana-Lee
  8. My husband and i returned this am to Las Vegas at 9am and still doing well. There were only a few minor bummps more on our part. The OCC was wonderfull. I am a special needs patient ( i have a bleeding Disorderr) i never thought that i could have this done and it is done. They clinic was amazing and we all walked through it together. We arrived on Thursday and did pre-op and was we could have a small dinner of salad and chicken breast. We went to the hotel to enjoy the meal and orderd. Well the OCC was not lying when they said staff watches you.... My husband jump into the bacon and i settled on two lite eggs and flour tortilla. We got caught the waiter came to our table and said no food and then got the matrde and you would have thought we had stollen something, I argued about my approved last meal, ,while my husband shoved bacon in his mouth... Wimp. So i settled for broth. Another hand full of bacon and a flour tortilla later my husband said ok broth please. Talk about not wanting to give in. Later we snuck down stair and ordered cheese enchilada and would you believe it we were not hungery and two bites i was worried that someone was watching me. Surgery came and went. The same day are our release we walked in the revolutionary district and i was not in much pain mostly gas in shoulder ugggg. My husband even found a place that offered him two girls and to guys for me??? We left at that point!!!!!! I got a facial and he got a massage and off to bed and home we are not. It was not bad i just have the shoulder gas and will be ready for work in the am. Dr. Ortiz is so nice and all the staff i did not want to leave they are great. Good luck upcoming banders. P.s You are never alone when you are there i met so many people it was amazing Shana-Lee
