  1. Thank you everyone for the responses. I called my doctor and she told me to call tomorrow to get in. I'm just so upset because it seems like it doesn't matter how small my fill is it always ends up too tight.
  2. I had a fill on November 9th everything was great. But this Friday I started having horrible reflux when I wake up in the morning and coughing. I am very worried. Any suggestions?
  3. This is something that I HAVE to do! Ever since my surgery that is all I crave! Sweets!!! I am going to try this! Thank y'all!
  4. Thank yall so much for the advice! I am definitely going to be asking those questions next Friday! Im a worry wort lol Lots of people have no idea what the band consists of so it's so nice for people to understand the worries that come along with it, I have found this site so helpful.
  5. This is my first post since returning to this site. I was banded July of 2011 and I have lost about 75 pounds, I feel great! I am trying to reach my goal weight of 160 at this time but a couple of months ago I had a prolapse which the way she explained it to me was very near a slip. So I had alot of my fluid taken out. My restriction is very little at the moment. I go in next Friday to have the fluroscope done to see if my band is all good and I can have a fill....here's my question though, I don't have insurance so what happens if I do have a slip and it's not able to fix its self? Do I just wait to save up money or will most hospitals take payment plans for a removal? I know I sound stupid but I can stop freaking out over everything. I get hungry so much and I am able to eat way more than before. Any advice would be appreciated!
