Hi

[Guest guest]

Hi Sandy, so did I. It was

overwhelming the amount of info out there, at least over two dozen different

types of surgeries. But once you boil it down to your top three choices,

then those are the ones you look up like crazy on the net. My three

were: Mini Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass, Roux-en-Y Gastric Bypass, and the

Laparoscopic Gastric Bypass.

Some of my questions I am waiting to talk

to the doc about in person. The internet was my primary source of info,

plus you can go to the library to find out more. Good luck.

I have the same questions and pros and cons of this surgery

over the regular bypas

Re:

hI

I really seem to " drill " you a lot - but...so the lap gastric

bypass is different than gastric bypass and a mini gastric bypass?

and can i ask you what your height/weight is? i am on the lower

end of the scale (i guess) at 5'3 " and 195 pounds.....

Hi Caprise, sorry about the

term " mini " . I mean Lap Gastric

Bypass. See I studied up a lot on all of the

various surgeries

available, and the Mini MGB really caught my

eye. But those

surgeons require a tremendous amount of

information, psych evals,

doctor permission, 20+ pages of essay answers, it

was over whelming.

I am having the Lap. Gastric Bypass with Dr. Aceves. I prefer just

to go for it rather than worry about fills.

Just my personal

choice. Sorry, to have confused you.

Hi Jeanne Lee,

I'm going to make this a brief message because I'm worn out from preparing

presentation for class. Because I was taking the nursing courses years ago when

I had digital hearing aids, I looked couple electronic stethoscopes that would

listen and record rythms on a PDA. Here's the link:

http://www.stethographics.com/main/products_pda_overview.html

I'm not quite sure how compatible it is with the processor (body worn or BTE).

I suggest that you contact the manufacturer.

Hope this helps,

Kent

Hello Stacie,

I just had my implant activated 10 days ago. I am so thrilled that I was

able to understand words from the first day. I went with my husband to see his

audie a couple of days ago and I asked them to clean my HA in my unimplanted

ear. While my HA was out of my ear, I was able to carry on a conversation

with the Dr. with only the CI. He was very impressed and so am I. Good luck

to you--I know that you are excited and scared--I was too. IF I can be of

any help to you, just let me know.

Best Regards,

Doris

[Guest guest]

My best wishes for you Stacie. Keep in touch and let me know how things

progress. I will be rooting for you!

Doris

[Guest guest]

Thank you, Ted

Hi Caprise, I am feeling the same way you are. I was banded on 4/20/06 and have lost only 11 pounds. I too thought it would of been more weight loss than this. But I want to tell you something that Virginia said to me. YES VIRGINIA....I AM QUOTING YOU AGAIN!!!! THE TOOL HAS BEEN PUT INTO PLACE BUT IT HASN'T BEEN ACTIVATED YET Every time I start getting down on myself I repeat this phrase and it seems to help me. I hope it will help you too!

Hi Dee,

Like you I am learning about the lap band. Yesterday I brought the information to my doctor. He knew very little to nothing about the lap band. He said he will really look into it for me. Also, I asked him if he would consider being a fill doc. He said he would really look into the program. So far everything I have read and seen is leading me to the decision for surgery.

Talk to you later, Lexi

-- hi

I am interested in having the lap band done by Dr Aceves....but I live in Tampa FL. I understand from friends that the most important thing about this is the followup. Because I live in FL and Dr Aceves is in Mexicali...this could be a problem. Any suggestions?

Rosie,

Thanks for getting back to me...have often after the surgery do you need to go to the doc. My friends who had it done here said they go every month and a fill about every 3 months. What would you recommend I take to Mexico for after the surgery? How much are your fills costing?

Thank you once again

[Guest guest]

Crystal, I just had the lapband done last fri and I live in Sarasota county. We flew from tampa. It is a long trip and uncomfortable on the way home but worth it believe me it will be worth it. I asked Nina the Doctors in the area that she knows who does the follow up there are a few in Tampa and Clearwater and others in Florida. I myself will probably never make the trip back to mexico for the fills its too long of a trip. I will send you a link to the Dr. in Tampa and other surrounding areas if it doesnt come through correctly just email Nina she will send it to you. Good luck Leona North Port FlCRYSTAL

Lexi. One of these days I'll post my pictures. I'm one of the "old broads" in the group - grey hair and all! I think they had AC in the rooms, but no individual control so you're at the mercy of whatever the system is doing at the moment. I requested a fan as soon as I got there. It took all of about 15 minutes for someone to bring a very nice oscillating fan and set it up. It was a God send! Phyllis

This is my attempt on trying to solve this problem, someone else please verify

whether I got the right answer or not.

I believe the amount of sterile water added is 571ml with 429ml of 70% Dextrose

to get 1000ml of 30% Dextrose.

Here's my calculations:

30%/70% = x/1000ml

solve for x, x = 429ml of 70% Dextrose needed.

1000ml - 429ml 70% Dextrose = 571ml of sterile water needed.

I hope I got the answer right!

Tingting

Hi

Hi can you help me with this problem

A prescription calls for 1000ml of 30% Dextrose. Your pharmacy stocks

Dextrose as a 70% solution. How much sterile water should you mix with

70% Dextrose to get the final product?

375 ml

571 ml

125 ml

288 ml

[Guest guest]

Hi, I would say 571 ml of water.
