What is a fill with Flouro? I have not had a 1st fill yet and am wondering how they do it and what FLOURO is? Thanks for your comments, Meltini

Thanks for explaining that Jack!:biggrin1:

Does anyone know if it is safe to get pregnant after surgery? My surgeon said yes. I want to hear from someone that maybe has gotten pregnant after surgery. ( I mean after healing!! and loosing weight.) THANKS!

Thanks Dona. My Dr said the same thing. I now feel much better and CONGRATS on getting married!

Hello, My name is Meltini and I am going to be having surgery on 05/07/07. I am nevous:eek: , but this site and all you nice people out there, have been helpful to calm my fears.:nervous I have found so many caring and compassionate people on this site that are willing to offer their experience, thoughts and advice. Like some of the other posts, I am nevous about having something put inside me and staying there. I do feel lucky that I have a good doctor that is an abdominal/thorasic surgeon and specializes in LAP Band and Gastric Bypass. All the medical facilities are relatively close and I have support groups to choose from. I have seen a lot of people on here that do not have that luxury and have to go as far away as Mexico to get the surgery that they need and want. I feel blessed.:angel: I need this surgery. I have battling with weight all my life. Up down, up down... You know how it goes. I think it is a combination of genetics, eating and exercise habits(or lack there of), and environmental factors. We cannot control ALL of them to our liking. I do beleive that this LAP band will be a TOOL to assist me in learning new habits, making me aware of how I eat,(ie: too fast, too much, don't chew enough) and assisting me on my way to a healthier me- and hopefully someday a family!:clap2: So if anyone has any success stories to share with me about their LAP Band story, please fell free to email me or post a response. GENUINE thanks to all who have posted or will post. This site is an awesome support resource.

Hi Keiko! Don't forget to keep in touch with me to let me know how you are doing too!!

Where would we purchase the Smart Mouth?

Very true. Very true. Can't argue with that!:biggrin1:

Hi Donna Marie! My Husband and I are bothing having the Lap Band and want to get prgnant also. We have had some fertility issues and loosing weight is going to help us out.(Supposeably) I say as long as you are healed from your surgery and have lost some weight, GO AHEAD! Don't wait. I am 32 and hubby is 34. We have already had a miscarriage(BEFORE Lap Band.) and are hoping it's not too late for us to have a healthy baby. Do what feels right! COngrats! XOXOXO MEltini

Thanks for the post! :biggrin1:

Thanks guys!! We will also touch base with the Dr to verify there are no other issues. Much appreciated,XOXOXO

Godo Luck Suzie!!! We'll be doing it together!

Thanks! You all or so sweet! I will be coming here quite a bit.

Two quick questions- Hope someone can help!:help: My husband just had the surgery and his breath is, well.., just short of UNBEARABLE! ( It was not that bad before) Does anyone know why that is? Does anyone know if it is safe to get pregnant after surgery? My surgeon said yes. I want to hear from someone that maybe has gotten pregnant after surgery. ( I mean after healing!! and loosing weight.) THANKS!

What is a VG band? I am going to have surgery on 05/07/07. THanks!
