Good Luck!

No it was in Ventura. I'll get you the schedule or should i say email it to you

Congrats! If you need some support the chat rooms is a good place to talk to people that have been banded.

Nette, There is a support meeting at Dr Billys office this Tuesday @ 630 pm

My Dr has and office in Ventura and Santa Maria you might want to call and ask. His names Dr. Helmuth Billy

Congrats on the band. Remember you have to do some walking to try and get the gas out of you.

Congrats on the band and good thing they fixed the hernia.

Good Luck!

You should call you Dr and let him know and see what he suggests

Miranda, It worth it as long as you follow what the Dr tells you.

This site is very good if you check then chatroom, sometimes noone is logged in but people do go in and they will give you their imput.

Sounds Good!

Its hard at the beggining but it will get better. Hang in there, you could do this. Also when this happens go for a walk or leave the house for a bit.

Thats awesome, congrats!

I love my band, even though sometimes I forget to chew my food right and have to go running to the RR because a piece of food got stuck. How can I not love my band if it has helped me lose 110 lbs with in a year.

Hello Bandsters! I did develop a craving for sweets. I never really liked sweets before the surgery, i only loved food, well still do, lol... But after the band I started craving something sweet. I fight this by using the 100 calorie packs. Weird huh!

It is normal to be nervous, I had the surgery a year ago and it was my first time having any kind of surgery. But I had to do it to help myself. A year later and 100 lbs down I'm glad I did it. This site helped me alot and going into the chat room and asking questions. You should look for a support group in your area. I have to say it was the best decision I ever made. Good luck and if you have any question I'll try to help

I think its better to put it out there and if they dont like it move on, you did the band to better yourself. my opinion!

Ventura County

Hope everyone has fast recovery, I just wanna say that the band was the best thing I could do for myself. Good luck ya'll

Support helps alot! Good luck to both of you

Good Luck

Are you drinking or eating your required protein and drinking 64 ounces of water. That really helps

It hasn't happened to me, but i read you have alot of pain

So I finally got a second fill after 6 months. I have to say i felt the restriction and it was just .5cc How often do you bandsters get a fill.
