The pain is much better.......only had it once on Friday. I think it is air, because after I make myself belch alot, it goes away.My doctor does not see patients on Friday, but the office is open.

You've really lost alot! How long have you been banded? I want to have a big lose soooo bad!

No he just stuck in this huge needle, did the fill...then gave me a few sips of Water.....took all of 3 minutes!

NO the surgeon I Have has Zip...Zero...NO time for questions or concerns. He always says for me to call the office and talk to the "girls" Really ticks me.......seems like he has my $$ so he is not to be bothered! Grrrrr:mad:

I do not know how much my fill was because I get ZERO info from this Dr. When I called the office....the nurse said I must learn to drink without breathing. Another words...exhal and then drink...said I was getting too much air/gas. Tonight I took my meds with a little juice and I can feel it! Oh, God! Surly it will be worth it all!:think

Just wanted to say Hi to everyone. I am 51 years old...married 32 years to my best friend! He totally supports me in all of this. We live in Buna, Tx. My neuro surgeon suggested I do this and wrote a letter and then it was BOOm BOOm and everything fell into place. My insurance paid 100%. I had lapband May 26, 2004. The first month I lost 28.5 pounds. This month I was hungry ALL the time and gained 2. I got my first fill today. For those of you out there that have had a fill..will I feel different? Will my hunger pains go away? Would love to hear from any of you! i need encouragement!!:cry

Thanks for the info....I'll give it a try!

Good Morning DeLarla.... Just wanted to say HI and noticed you and I are almost the same size. I am 5 ft. 9.5 inches. Beginning weight was 317:cry Today weight is 286. I was banded 5/26/04. Hope you will have a Blessed day!

Just noticed you were from Denton, Tx.....I am from Buna, Tx......nice to see some texans on board!

Thank for all your encouragement. Now to answer the questions. Buna Texas is just north of Beaumont Texas. It is a teeeeeny weeeeeny rural town. I had my lapband done in Port Neches, texas by Dr. Felix Speigel on May 26, 2004. My first fill was done July 19, 2004. So now I am on 3 days of liquids. Me and Slim fast are becoming best of friends!

Hope you are feeling better. I am new at this. Let meknow how you do. Sissyfaye Buna, Tx.
