Vancouverites - thanks - getting banded this week.
Thanks to all those that I've met online, on the phone, or at the N. Van support groups. You made this a positive experience.

Off to TJ on Wednesday and banded on Thursday. I, coincidentally, will be there with three Albertans.

Back from Mexico. All went well and as expected.

Enjoying the 21 day liquid post-op diet. Actually not too bad. Miso soup and popsicles and tea are getting my through the day. Not to bad as I am not hungry.

Incisions are healing very well. Other than a few burps of gas and some rumblings of the stomach, it is situation normal.

Hi Scott. Glad it went well. How much did you pay for Mexico? Where will you get fills done?

$7,950 plus $500 in airfare. It was all top-notch. Even got some dental work done there too.

I was planning to use Northwest Fills in Washington State. But I think I'll return for TJ for fills - certainly the first fill at least.

Scott.

Glad to hear it went well. I left before you got back from the clinic. We spent a day in San Diego, saw Old Town and the Beach, went to the tall ship festival and flew home. When are you planning on a fill?
