Surgeon TestimonialEdward Felix, M.D. (COE)Dr. Felix is confident and VERY serious about what he does. He emphasizes the risks and the importance of following ALL instructions. You can tell that he cares about his patients for several reasons 1) Because he truly cares. 2) Because they'll send him more people/referrals lol. rnrnHe's funny too....rnrnHe did an awesome job on my surgery, and my scars are tiny and will blend in perfectly with my old stretch marks LOL!rnrnThe anesthesiologist, Dr. Herbert (?) at Clovis Community deserves some major kudos too! This is the first time after a surgery that I didn't experience 1 bit of nausea! It's ALWAYS been a problem and this time I had ZERO! THANK YOU!!! Member Interests

NSV!!! on July 25, 2007 9:04 pm
NSV!!!!!! My first one really...well the biggest LOL
So my daughters car broke down today and we had to have it towed. The tow truck driver was HOT...well he was lots younger than me, probably 26 or so, but my 24 yr old daughter was drooling over him. LOL
Anyway, he flirted with me the ENTIRE time...I mean BAD. Then he didn't charge me for the tow...my hubby was like, "ok but if he calls you again (yes he called my cell once), you let me know!" LOL
My daughter said "mom I'm so glad that you still 'have it'...maybe when I'm your age I'll still have it too"....wait, was that supposed to make me feel good??? 'when i'm your age...."???? LOL
Oh well, at least I feel great!

1st episode...scary! on July 24, 2007 6:02 am
I had my first REAL episode today....I was talking with one of my mom's friends while I was trying to hurry and eat lunch so that I could get back to work on time. I don't know if I ate too fast, too much, or both, but almost right after I left my house (I was a few blocks away), I had to pull over and I was sliming like crazy, and I felt like I was going to PB. I did dry heave twice, but nothing came up. I tried walking around for a few minutes, but it was hurting like crazy in my chest. I've had small episodes like this, but this one hurt worse and lasted much longer! It took about 30-45 minutes before the pain eased up and went away. Wow, I'll definitely eat slower next time!!!

3rd fill... on July 16, 2007 1:26 pm
Ok just got home from the doctor...he added in 0.8cc!!! I've lost 5 lbs since the last fill 3 weeks ago, so hopefully this will kickstart me a little more since I HOPEFULLY won't be able to eat as much in a sitting. That's where I'm having a hard time because I'm not hungry in between meals so I normally don't snack, however once I start eating I FEEL hungry and don't feel full.
Hopefully this will help...I'm now at my 3rd fill and have a total of 2.8 in a 4cc band....seems like a lot since I just got banded 2 1/2 months ago....
Fills:
06/04/07 (+1.2 cc, total 1.2cc in 4cc band)
06/25/07 (+0.8cc, total 2.0cc in 4 cc band)
7/16/07 (+0.8cc, total 2.8cc in 4 cc band)
