Hi So for all my Dallas folks where are you getting your fills now? I need fluid released but have no idea where to go since True Results is now closed.

Ur story hit home. How are you doing now? Sent from my LG-H900 using the BariatricPal App

I find drinking more Water really helps. Just set a goal for the amount of water u want To drink it will take ur mind off the snacking Sent from my LG-H900 using the BariatricPal App

So for me to hear this as an option I'm upset. I have had band for 7years problem after problem for the last 4 years and my surgeon never gave me this as an option. Now he has retired and out looking for someone to help me. I'm so uncomfortable and hate always going to get Fluid removed. Grant it I have kept about 70lbs off but gain about 30lbs of the 100 lbs in all that I originally lost. I'm so scared to gain that weight back. No one seems to understand my pain.

Congratulations!!! I can only hope I can reach my ultimate goal. This time last year I was only 25lbs away from my goal now 40lbs.... I'm so upset and worried that number will climb back up!

I et a lot of egg drop soup when my family goes to eat Chinese

Usually i feel stuck when my mouth starts to Water

I'am thankful to you for writing this about what you have went through. I have had my band for a little over 5 years and keep having some of the same issues.

So I've had the band for 4 years in May and I seem to be having daily bloating it is so uncomfortable. Does anyone know if it has anything to do with my band???? I need help I'm in so much pain daily

Well my story is some what the same I had got sick in December finally went to see the after care nurse in January and had a slit slip so they took all out slowly over time added more fluid and said i was good since then they added fluid up to 5.2 cc then Oct I had no side effects but was told had a full slip so once again took all fluid and tomorrow i go in for check up too see if i have to get surgery. I'm so scared!..I have had great success lost 110 lbs before issues and only was looking to loose another 15 lbs...Now needing to loos like 25lbs I run alot and try to eat right I just feel like I will get all bad news tomorrow!

for ur 1st fill I would tell u to eat a light dinner night before and in the morning be sure to have something before u go since u will probably not be hungry much that day after.
