    NJshoregirl♥ got a reaction from 50for50 in Anyone from nj?   
    dani_nyc - I work in Little Falls!
    Ok NJ folks, since I suggested it I will volunteer to coordinate. How does everyone feel about a weekly check in on the Local NJ Board? I can start it up. What is a good day for everyone? How about Mondays?

    Such awesome advice everyone! Thank you!!! I got my fill today I went from 5.8 to 6.5 and i feel fine now tightness but I'm sure I will be able to tell in Few days!!! I just need a little restriction back and I can do the rest! I will let everyone know how it goes!!! Oh and my doc advised me that he thinks it would be a good idea to do my next fill under Fluor! So if this fill don't work out then I will be making my appointment for that!!!

    I definitely agree with this!!! I've never had a fill using Fluoro, but I have had many .2 or .5 fills or unfills. It takes time and a LOT of patience to find the right spot.
    And to make things even more complicated, the "right spot" changes. I posted about my own frustrations last week. I really felt like I needed a fill, but a few weeks ago I was too tight and went in to have .5 removed. My doctor reminded me that our bodies are always changing for one reason or another. Maybe that .5 was too much in April, but it seems that now I need it added back. So I went in over the weekend and I already feel like it has helped.
    Hang in there! I understand where you're coming from. I was down almost 80 lbs at one point. This can be a long journey.

    NJshoregirl♥ got a reaction from labwalker in Going home but worried about port sticking out!   
    Everyone is different, but my port has never been noticeable unless you feel around for it. Even when I was pregnant, I read horror stories about it popping out like the cooking timer on a turkey and I was SO terrified. Never happened!

    Thanks for the laugh, that was cute and funny! I'm sure many of us wondered the same thing when we felt the port for the first time.
