I live in remote Alaska... So I need to REALLY know for sure if I need to be checked.... Because of where I live, I had surgery and came back to AK. I had 1 fill that was 2 12 years ago.... I struggled much but still managed to lose 100lbs... I since have had another fill... It has been 8 days and I am back in AK... I am having HEART BURN like crazy... I am having trouble with food in general and liquids sometimes... My stomache is VERY upset.... I am wondering if there is something the matter or if it is irrated because of the fill... or if I had eated too much at night and that is why trouble every day? I have done the whole, soft liguides, foods.. am I just impatient? or is there too tight (I have 2.4 cc.) Or it has been so long that I forgot.? I am never any good at following the rules.. I am living on milk, and chocolate right now... I can not just jump on a plane... But I have a sneaking suspision that I had a slippage a long time ago and now it is just surfacing because of the fill... OR am I being impatient??? I guess I can deal with not eating much at all and the pain nausea.. its the heart burn that is killing me.... :drool:

Hi all, I am new here, But VERY thankful to find you... I am on and Island in Alaska in a very SMALL community. No one knows what a lap band is and getting a DR to even look at me is a challenge. I have giving into the fact that I need to fly to Seattle for fills every 6 months. I am 1 year and half POST OP. But I have only had 2 fills due to my location. I have some general questions since I am on my own here.. I have trouble eating in the AM- is this normal? At times I can eat lots- usually at night-normal? I tend to lean towrds soft foods which end up being high calorie- and defeating the whole purpose- I end up frustrated durning the day with tolerance keeping anything but soup down- it seems to need to be stretched out slowly to eat- nrrmal? I have no problem with diet soda-it that ok? I have lost 70lbs in 1 12 years..not much but considering that I do not get regular fills am I on track? I have plateau-d... will I continue to lose? thanks for the help I am SO alone out here. nicole
