I am still deciding. Due to cost I am leaning toward Dr. Aceves in Mexico or Dr. Kirshenbaum in Colorado.

Hello,
I live in Murrieta and just got my Band Feb 11th. By Dr. Krahn in San Bernadino. So far so good. No pain A little sleep deprived and sore but walking around the neighborhood and contemplating returning to work Monday. Liquid diet is tough but the band make you feel full even though currently it's not adjusted at all. This Forum is helpfull for all my thoughts and concerns and I'll be checking in often. Good luck. Follow your MD's instructions.

Until today I would have said yes. Today I over did it and I'm sore and stiff near the port site. I think I'll relax all day tomorrow. I'm just getting to a week out of surgery. Everybody told me I'd be down a week to two weeks before feeling physically ok but now I see it's easy to overdo it. If you can talk Hubby into Daddy Daycare Duty for two weeks it's probably more realistic.

RMorgan,
What's the status of your banding process? I also was thinking about a Mexico Lap Band, but my health insurance came through and paid for most of it.

I have decided to go to Denver, Colorado to have my surgery with Dr. Kirshenbaum. His price is just a little more than Mexico but worth the extra money for my families peace of mind. It is also easier to find doctors close to home who are willing to do fills. Surgery is scheduled for March 25th! I go from feeling "ready" to being scared to doubting if I'm doing the right thing to being excited and ready again. I'm sure this is normal stuff. I should check with Dr. Krahn and see how much he charges for fills. Do you attend a support group? I would love to find one that meets monthly that I can attend.

Guys and Gals,
Glad to hear you both got your surgery dates and are on your way. I just had my stitches removed today and I've lost 16.5 pounds so far! My MD, Dr Krahn does have a support group every 3rd Tuesday of the month. The problem is He's located in San Bernadino, not a very geographially desireable location for us. I like this web site to view the issues I'm thinking about and how others are handling their banding. I always felt the fear issue towards the banding was minor compared to living with this weight and all of it's health issues. I am/was pre-diabetic, have High Blood Pressure, High Cholesterol and am sick of worrying about what I might develop next. I also needed a real answer to yo-yo dieting. This to me seems like a real answer to some of my weight issues.
Anyway keep in touch keep dieting and stay positive.
MCP
