Hi! I have not been Banded yet, so I'm not sure of a lot of things. But one thing I find to be a great alternative to chips is rice crackers, also instead of dipping tortilla chips in stuff I like to dip snap peas and carrots in fat free Greek yogurt and low sodium salsa. I find fat free Greek yogurt to be a great alternative to sour cream and it's so yummy! I like the Costco brand. Hope this helps

That's great! Thank you for sharing. Is that usual for people to get fills so often? Im going to be traveling atleast 4hours for all my adjustments

Thank you all for sharing! I'm also kind of curious how often people generally go for fills? I've looked at a lot of different company's and sites and it' seemed to be only 4/5x a year, but now that Ive read other peoples experiences it seems to be more often? I'm kind of concerned because I will have to be traveling atleast 4 hours one way.

Hi! I am very new to this and actually just booked my consultation for the beginning of September, so I am full of questions. One of the things I'm worried about is as I lose weight is that the port will be visable? Wandering if anyone has any issues with that? I also live in Canada and wandering if anyone else does? Because I am sure that the programs might be a little different. I'm only 22 so this is the biggest decision I've had to make so far in my life. I work at a care facility and my job is very physically demanding, a lot of people seem to go back to work pretty quickly. Anybody else in a similar line of work? I know everyone heals differently, but I am constantly doing heavy lifting and turning people from any where from 70lbs to 300+ so I'm expecting to take about 6weeks off of work. I would love to hear others thoughts and words of advice. Thanks, Courtney
