I have been very happy with my 1st fill. I had my surgery May 26, 2011 in Monterrey Mexico by Dr. Zapata. I had a "Wonderful" experience. Loved all the nurses and the Doctors were wonderful!!! I live in Oklahoma and had my first fill in Tulsa. I went to Dr. Atkins. He was great!!!! Loved him!!! The first 6 weeks I was really concerned about not having any restriction and I even gained 3.5 pounds before I had my 1st fill. Since then I've lost the 3.5 pounds plus so I'm very happy. Overall I'm having a very good experience with my lapband and if anybody needs a good Dr. in the Tulsa area to get their fills, go see Dr. Atkins. He only charges $150.00. I am very happy I did this!!!!!

He put in 2 cc's and then backed some out a little so I'm not sure exactly how much. He said he likes to be aggressive with the fills but not so much that you can't drink or swallow so he had me drink a glass of Water before I left. I did fine. At first I didn't think it was enough but I was totally wrong. It has restricted me good. I'm happy with being very restricted. Oh don't get me wrong I can eat and drink but I eat like a little bird now!!! I love it!!!!

Hi everybody!!! I need some new mushie meal suggestions. I am getting a little tired of eating the same thing every day. Please give me your favorite recipe!!!

I am sorry to say I have don the same thing but it sounds like alot of people are having the same results that I have so I'm going to not worry until it's time to worry. Keep your head up!!! We'll get through this together!!!
