Anyone ever get a fill while on her period? I have heard that that time of month can play havoc with restriction. I'm scheduled to see the dr on Wed. am and got my period on Sunday. :rolleyes

Did anyone get their book yet? I ordered on Nov. 3 and I still don't have it.

Pat, your gonna be just fine, hon! Now take a deep breath and try to put you focus on something else for a while, (I know, easier said than done!) I was feeling kinda nervous the day before, but the day of surgery it was like a calm just washed over me and I knew all was well. I hope that happens for you, too. Now, my DH was an entirely different story... Just know that we are all here for you, we are all keeping you in our thoughts and prayers, and in spirit, we will all be right by your side. You can do this, I know you can!

Hi Guys!!!! I am now a month out, doing great and eating like a horse. I am definitely on solids. Some of you may already know about this, but when I saw my surgeon last week he told me I have a 10cc band and that is why I can eat so much. Because of that he thinks I can have a fill a little earlier that usual, so next Wednesday, I will see him again and if he thinks the time is right, I will get my first fill. I can hardly wait since I can eat just about like preband. At this point, if I didn't have the scars to remind me, I wouldn't even know I was banded, LOL! Fran, it all gets better every day. REALLY!!!

Greg, I hope all goes well for your mom and I am truly sorry to hear about your aunt. Be sure you take care of yourself, too. Don't over do it and try to get some rest. Been missing you!!!

Wow! I am shocked that Lopez actually called you after all this time! One of these days you will have to give us all the details on how that came about! I am so proud of you for doing so well with your weight loss while going through all that agony with your port incision. I am saying prayers and crossing my fingers that you will get to keep your band. Keep your chin up, Lisa, we are all here for you.

Pat, I answered you on some other thread. But, next Wed. I will hopefully get my first fill. Can't wait!!!

OMG!!!! Shelly, you look AWESOME!!!

Hi, Fran! Hang in there, it gets better every day. Welcome to bandland!!!!

Wow!!! Congratulations!

That's such good news, Michelle! Here's hoping those spasms are gone for good!!!!

WooooooHooo!!!!! Pat's getting a band!!!! Good luck to you! I'm praying....

Just this week, I have had occassional looooooong, deeeeeeeep burps!! Good Lord, I never did THAT before!

Welcome to bandland, Melanie!!! It gets better every day. Hang in there, you're gonna do GREAT!!!

Hi, Pat! I am going to see the surgeon next Wed., Dec.8. He told me if everything looks ok then we will go to the hospital for a fill (I wish we could just do it in his office!) Lisa, I find I can eat corn tortillas, but not flour tortillas. Seems weird to me since I can eat a huge burger bun!!! Sometimes I think my band wears an evil little smile!

Nancy, you are a true inspiration!!! Congratulations on your loss and nsv's!

Pam, what a wonderful Christmas gift!! A bundle of joy! Congratulations!

Good for you!!! I have UHC too. It all went fairly smooth with them. Good luck!

Restriction!!!! I want to only be able to nibble my Christmas dinner!

I know exactly how you feel, Alex. I really hate being a secretary, but have no idea what else I might want to do, so I just stay in the same old rut. Someday, I'm gonna grow up and be......a ?

Welcome Minny! You've come to the right place for info. Hope it is helpful in making your decision. Good luck to you!!!

How ya doin, Kim??? Welcome to bandland!!!

Hi, Fran! Hope all went well for you. Come back to us as soon as you feel up to it!!!

Yeah!!!! I hope all goes well with your insurance and you become a bandster very soon! Good luck!!!

Yes, it is normal!! Take some meds for it, if you need to. It won't last forever.
