Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Jenni, thank you so much for sharing your journey with us. I know it has been a rough road for you lately. I am so glad that you dont have any problems with your band, that would be scary not knowing. But I bet you rest better knowing that your band is just fine! I hope that this fill is the " sweet spot " fill fo you. please keep us posted (as I know you will). You are doing so great! and I do agree with you about Dr Aceves and all of his staff, they are the " beautiful people " . But thier beauty is in thier heart and soul, they radiat kindness and love!!! like you said they make you feel like you are the " only " important patient. I never get that feeling in the US. Maybe we are missing something? we need to re-evaluate how we treat people here in the US. they are so awesome down there!! :-) you take care Jenni, cant wait to hear how you are doing. big hugs, > > I am sitting on the hard-rock bed in the Hotel Lucerna (if you have > stayed here, I'm SURE you remember these beds!!!).

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Jenni: So glad that things went well in Mexicali and that your band is just as wonderful as ever. I was thinking about you and your trip there. Keep up the great work and wonderful spirit that you project onto this board. I would LOVE to see you come to the Seattle Bash if you have the time and finances. I know it's a stretch. Have a good one.

Guest guest Posted December 10, 2006 Report Share Posted December 10, 2006 Breathing a sigh of relief!! I remember how you felt after our fill in October, so I am so glad this went over really well for you. I hope you are doing well, and hopefully we can all get together sometime next year to get fill's or just to meet up in San Diego for alittle get together. I am hoping to meet Eileen when she comes here to visit family in Merced...it will be great!!! So, take care of yourself and be sure to tell Dr. Aceves and gang I said " Hello. " Kelli > > I am sitting on the hard-rock bed in the Hotel Lucerna (if you have > stayed here, I'm SURE you remember these beds!!!).
