i had 2nd fill also , i feel like every thing is getting stuck guess i better stick to the clear, mushy, thing. i have a total of 1.5 cc i had my surgery on 1/31/07. i started at 225 and got down to 195 then started creeping back up 198..199 before i got the 2nd fill:cry . i felt like i could eat almost anything before i got the second fill now i feel like i can eat nothing signed starving, just kidding

i voted. i paid 12,5 for everything , this includes my first year of fills, surgeons visits, and nutritionist. i decided i was going to take my life into my own hands. meaning, i was not going to waste time with fighting insurance companies any more.i financed through cap one my payments are a lot less than what I was giving for pre packaged diet food. i was banded on wed. i am glad i have done something that is going to finally make a difference.

I was banded same day 1/31. My Doctors are Erabella and Bunch in Bradenton FLorida. Dr. Erabella was with me during the pre op period almost the whole time. He is awesome! I had my procedure at Gulfcoast Surgery Center. I went home the same day and only have had some minor incisional pain. I am glad that I did this, however it being super bowl sunday I am missing eating Nachos, Pizza etc.:cry I am eating creamy tomatoe soup and protein shakes, etc. I did not follow the clear liquid pre op diet to well in the beginning! I plan on b eing very compliant from now on. Michelle
