Welcome to both of you.!!!The band will really help you to not be so hungry, but you still have to watch WHAT you eat. You also have to exercise.If you continue to eat ice cream and other soft foods that will slid thru the band you may not do so well. If you eat right and exercise it will really make a big difference for you. I really love my band. Donna

Welcome to both of you!!! Best of luck on your journey to the lapband. Donna

Thanks so much guys. Donna

I just got my second fill and i have great restriction. I am at 2cc in a 4 cc band. I have pbed two or three times so i know i need to slow down. I still eat way to fast. I have lost three pounds this week and am real happy with that. Donna

Hang in there guys! It really does get better. When you move to mushies it gets a little easier. Donna

New post are still getting sent to my e-mail. I followed directions from feedback of last post, but no change. Help............ Donna:whoo:

Sorry you are not doing well, but sometimes it takes several fills to hit your sweet spot. I havc 2cc in a 4 cc band and it is working great for now. As i lose i will need another fill. Are you eating right and drinking lots of water??? The water is very ,very important. So is exercise. Best of luck. Donna

Wendall i tried to look at your pics and it said your acc. had been canceled. I always love your advice so i wanted to see what you look like. I agree with your advice on this one too. Donna

If you do not feel any restriction two weeks after your last fill i would ask for another one. It can not hurt to ask. Donna

My doctor did not require any kind of pre-op diet. I don`t think it is a bad idea to lose some before surgery if you can. Always makes the surgery safer. Donna

Welcome to the board!!! Both of you! Hope your surgery goes well. By Dec. you should be fine to go on vacation. Just follow your doctors diet plan for you.. Donna

Hi! It sounds like you are doing really well with your band. I am a social worker in a shelter for children in Indiana and i am really glad i got my band. This is a great site for support so join us often. Donna

Hope you feel better soon.Congrats on your band.Donna

I went to Mexico and had no trouble finding a doctor here to do fills. My doc in Mexico was great and you do not have to jump through all the hoops you do here. You book your surgery and go. They do all the tests when you get there. You really save a lot of money. You just have to be sure to find a good doctor, as you would here. For me it was a great adventure. Donna

Hi! Welcome to the board. Hope everything goes well for you. I really love my band and i am really glad i did it. Donna

Welcome to the board and good luck with your pre-op diet. Sounds like you are doing great. Donna

Welcome to the board and best of luck. Donna

Welcome to both of you. Keep us posted. Donna
