She may not forgive me for this but here goes...
I recently met Judy while trying to help my mother coordinate a counsultaion visit with Dr. Cardenas in Monterrey, Mexico. Dr. Cardenas is the President of Plastic Surgery in Mexico. I'm sure his title is much more prestigous than that, I just don't know it yet, so my apologies to the good Dr.
Anyway, my mom is considering making the trip down for her consultation at the same time that Idahobeauty will be going down to be banded by Dr. Zapata. Now, some of you know that to schedule surgery with Dr. Sanchez, Dr. Zapata or Dr. Cardenas, you call a very nice group of women in the US who formed their own company named Ready4AChange. Well, that's how I met Judy, through such a call to her company. We have talked twice, for at least an hour each time!
Judy has been banded for almost 7 years. She went from a size 24 to a size 6 in 1.5 years from her banding. She had her original Swedish band replaced two years out and her story behind that is incredible! She is now going through issues with a port infection... yes, a port infection after almost 7 years! :eek:
I asked Judy to join us here at b2g because of her long-time experience with the band, both as a patient and working as a band coordinator. She is a wealth of information and a super nice lady. She is not here to advertise for the doctors she works for, she is here to share valuable information and to seek support from all of us. So lets make her welcome and learn from her experiences and from her mistakes! Cause oh lordie has she made some mistakes with her band! But I'll let her tell you about that!
Hello Judy! I thought I'd just kick you on in the door and get you started! *laughs* Welcome to b2g!
