Hello.. So what’s the next big adventure Lisa? I’m planning my summer and keep using Disneyland for blackmail. It’s got Hunter out of night-time pull-ups and he's wiping his own ass:clap2: Is the bash for sure the last weekend of Aug? I can try to use it as an excuse to buy more toys? Everything is justified! I’m saving my money You'all can come to my pad...we're de-winterizing the boat next week and it's been raining for weeks. Lots of Water in the lake, surfs up!

That's why they call this a thinking person WLS.I look at everything that goes into my mouth as a bank account... Kryssa, wishing you the best

Right On! With all you’ve been going through it’s so easy to give up. I want you on my team.

I believe Inamed recomends 1.3cc's for the 9.75/10 band and 3cc's for the VG band on the first fill. I have 1.3cc's in a 9.75 and Im a tad tight to just right. We're all so different. It's better to go back for more than to you back cause your over filled and in pain.

I saw Randy Jackson on Oprah over a year ago with Dr. Ren who decribed the procedure. Any who, Randy did said he puke alot, be out and eat fast food then have to stop the car to puke. He still hasn't learn what to avoid. He has lost some weight but not drastic, that's for sure.

Well Sweet Heart non of us are perfect... I drink and eat chocolate too, the band is just a tool. We know what we need to do and live as well and have fun. Sending you happy thoughts

This does concern me that Dr. Spivak uses omnipaque as a fill solution on a regular bases. As I understand it is not recomended by Inamed and could un-warrent the band. I have only had it used to check for leaks. Filled under flouro then removed. Do you have to sign a release statement in order to use it as a perment fill solution? I know someone who did have to sign for it, but she is very happy with her fill and it has not caused any problems, not saying it would cause problems....

Karen, You've taken things into your own hands and got the ball rolling, good research and that's great you found a doctor to work with you. You've done an amazing weight loss job. Good luck and keep us posted.

I didn't mean to worry you. It's not very common. If you want, PM me with more Questions..

Most time omnipaque is use as a fix a flat or to check for leaks.

Penni ,will you be my tour guide? I wanted to get hook to this tread in case it evolved to ...

Thanks for the update, I haven't seen you around much and been thinking about you. Glad it's a somewhat minor issue to deal with.

So Happy for you. Thanks for explaining in detail for the rest of us looking forward to simular procedures. I hope you took before and soon... after pics.
