  1. The 3 day thing is true. They make you sign a form stating that you have to come in within 3 days if you need a slight unfill, otherwise you have to go to the surgery center for a complete unfill. I just went in for a fill on Thursday and I felt fine that day but the next day I could feel a tightness in my chest or lump in my throat for several minutes after drinking. I called to ask his office if the three days meant I had to come back Saturday or Monday. They said Monday since they are only open saturday for a seminar. I hope he still honors that. Last night I couldn't drink any cold liquids and I felt the lump in my throat all night long.
  2. I have a friend that is a personal trainer. I asked him how I get rid of the upper and lower flabby abs for a flat stomache and he said lose weight and wear a rubber girdle. Do you know if we can wear these? I found one made by Squeem that says you lose 1-4 inches due to the compression, perspiration and micromassage (Squeem Rubber High Back Waist Cincher Girdle ). I was thinking of ordering one but did not know if this is okay to wear after weight loss surgery. I am 4 months out from my lap band surgery. Thanks, Cherica banded on 12/1/2006 225/168/130
