LOL nope but it was sticking out.

The company that I work for has an external agency that handles FMLA or any kind of leave. All I had to do is call them and they did all the paperwork including sending the surgeon's office papers that they need.

I only have 10 cc band

Very true

I can't really feel the difference yet since I am on liquid right now. But the fill is no biggie. It took less than 10 min for the procedure.

I just had my first fill today. The surgeon just locate my port, put pressure on it and stick me with the needle. I felt a pinch but that's about it. The weird thing is, he ask me to get up and walk to the machine with the syringe sticking out of me LOL.

Thanks. It was so cool to watch too LOL

I had my first fill today with flouroscopy. The surgeon put 5 cc in my 10 cc band. Back to liquids for 24 hours.

Thank you ladies.

Good luck

Can we eat oranges with the band?

I was told no lifting over 20 lbs for 2 weeks

Thanks you guys....I know I am going to have some saggy skin just wondering if slow weight lost can minimize it.

Awesome! Congrats!

I forgot to mention I am going to have my first fill this coming Thursday.

I have lost 30 lbs in 5 weeks with very little exercise. Is this going to slow down a bit? I am just trying not to have too much saggy skin.

Do you have Isopure? 1 bottle has 40g protein

I do the same thing so I can see what I eat, how much I am eating, and to keep track of my calories and Protein intake. I was banded 4 weeks ago and no fills yet (scheduled for 1st fill on 3/7).

My surgeon does fill with flouro...I am scheduled for this on March 7 (first fill). My surgeon told me that he do this procedure so there is not much guessing game when he is doing fills.

Congrats! Just be aware that your weight loss might slow down a bit the next few weeks.

Welcome!

Where did you get the biotin chewables if you don't mind me asking. Is this prescription meds?

Are you guys measuring your food (1 cup or less per meal)? Are you writing down what you're eating (how much calories, protein etc)??

Grats!.....it will get better each day.

AWESOME!!!!
