How are you feeling? I had my 2nd fill a week ago and while I feel food getting stuck easier I don't feel that I'm getting full any quicker. I feel like I can eat the same amount, just have to eat it slower. You?

I think I have 6cc in a 10cc band.

Had my 2nd fill today and I finally feel like I have some restriction. Hopefully I'll get this weight loss ball rolling! My surgery date was May 18. I've lost about 25 llbs since my heaviest weight last fall.

I had one repaired during lapband placement too but I had no symptoms. I noticed no difference after surgery. It's funny how some of us had one but never knew.

Thanks to everyone for your input. I think I've met my out of pocket max so no out of pocket for me. TX-Techman- that's insane and it angers me. I think it's great that you've filed a complaint and I hope they get busted. I don't know how they sleep at night either.

I was reading in another forum about MSM (supplement) and how the claim is that it helps with hair, nails, and skin. Specifically that it helps tighten skin. Has anyone tried it?

Yeah, we have our first garden this year. I have no idea if anything will actually grow, especially after the hail storm we had last night.

Daisy- I'm so sorry! What a horrible thing to have to go through! I sure hope you feel better soon. Until then, rest up. Take care!

I pulled a muscle about a week after surgery and it was right in the area of the port. It was very sore for a few days them it healed. Oh, and it happened from me twisting. See if you feel better in a few days, if not call the doc.

Voted. Good luck.

An acquaintance of mine had the sleeve in January and has had to go back because of infections. It just seemed too extreme for me. Everyone is different though.

I'm in the same boat. My first fill isn't until late June. I don't understand why it takes so many fills to get restriction. If I'm paying per fill ($300 at my clinic...not sure what my cost is as I have insurance) I'd tell them they better give me restriction because I'm not paying $300 for them to give me 1cc each time. Imagine how pricey that would be!!

You are looking good!!!! Congrats!

Thanks.

Has anyone had insurance cover a tummy tuck or breast reduction/lift? If so, what are the requirements and what insurance do you have?
