  5. PICTURES OF FILL TRIP TO THE OCC

    in Fill Doctors & Fill Trips to Tijuana

    Posted

    This winter I had an opportunity to work with a photographer, what fun! The last time I had professional photos taken was over 30 years ago at our wedding so it was time. In 1956 either my mom or dad were old enough to marry in WA state so they ran off and eloped in Idaho, unbeknownst to either set of parents. Once they announced their nuptials, they had a reception and this is the off the shoulder wiggle dress my mom wore to the event at the end of the video. I couldn’t be happier or prouder to have been photographed in the same dress 57 years later and it zipped :)

  7. A few concerns

    Mishell, your so young! The quicker you get a handle on it the better :) I think all of us that had surgery at the OCC in MX had concerns about complications, safety, etc. But it really is a nice facility and they take great care of their patients. I did enough research that I had complete confidence in my decision to use Dr Ortiz and the staff was just wonderful. The sleeve wasn't around when I made my decision to have survery, I'm a band patient so I really can't help you with any sleeve questions.

    I went down with a friend that had surgery at the same time, I've sent down one family member and 2 people I work with to the OCC and all had the same great experience. Since that time, I live in WA, a bunch of us have gotten together from time to time that had surgery at the OCC

    I don't think you can go wrong :)

  21. Band vs plication

    in Gastric Band Support & Discussion

    Posted

    Alright bandsters I am planning on being banded in a couple of weeks, but the more I read and research the more I'm wondering if I should just get the plication. Do you all feel that you have been happy with your bands, or wish you had had the plication option?? I have seen some that are going in for revisions from band to plication so now starting to have second thoughts on the best option. Any opinions are apprciated. I am 41 wt 246 and 5'7 tall

    Thanks

    Steph

    IF I WERE TO DO IT AGAIN, I'D PICK THE SLEEVE OR THE BAND AGAIN OVER THE PLICATION

    HEY DONNA, I DO HAVE A QUESTION FOR YOU. WHY DID YOU PICK HAVING THE PLICATION OVER HAVING THE BAND REDONE OR HAVING THE SLEEVE? JUST CURIOUS. THERE SEEMS TO BE MORE AND MORE PEOPLE IN THE SEATTLE AREA AGAIN, LOOKS LIKE ANOTHER GET TOGETHER MIGHT BE IN ORDER :)

  25. NG tube with Lap Band

    in General Health, Fitness & Well Being

    Hi Fellow Banders! I was banded almost a year ago and I'm doing great! My concern is with my sister...she was banded about 2 years ago. She's facing colon surgery tomorrow and was told she would most likely have a Nasogastric tube down her throat and into her stomach. Has anyone had any experience with this? Does the tube go through her band opening and into her "larger" stomach"? Any help would be appreciated! Prayers would also be wonderful!

    THE TUBE REALLY DOESN'T LOOK THAT BIG SO IT DOES LOOK LIKE A PROBLEM THAT I CAN SEE
