I am a uselaess bag of info on banding Sorry! I bet somebody will pipe in or you can post on the main board for more help Best of luck!!!

Hi Peggy. Yes I am from Magna Utah and I was banded last week (8/23) Would you happen to know of a good doctor I could go to for fills? I got my surgery in Mexico. Thanks!

Thanks Peggy and Andre, I just cant believe how good I feel! Getting in all the water is a little hard but I did yesterday and am well on my way today. I discovered the best food on earth today for lunch, refried beans and cheese from Taco Bell. I softened it a little with some beef broth and it went down fine. It was great and it felt good to eat real food. I ate less than 2 ounces and felt full but not uncomfortable. Im knocking on every piece of wood I come across that things continue to go so smoothly.

Tiffany: I had Dr McKinlay as my surgeon and was very satisfied with him as a surgeon. I had surgery on Nov 8, 2005. I am just a few pounds from losing 100 since surgery. He's the newest of the surgeon's at RMAP but very skilled at what he does. I'm sure any of the other RMAP surgeons would be good as well. I am one to ask a lot of questions which I did regarding this surgery so I wish you well in your search. Marva
