Eating Snickers and other junk food is what's got us all to the point of having weight loss surgery to start with. We need to be buying and teaching our kids healthy choices so they won't end up with weight issues.
Was banded on 8/29/07 and have had 2 fills, up to 7.6 cc's in AP band. Don't eat that Snikers. Don't buy them, it's only hurting you and your family. The bands a tool to help you with the weight loss but it's not going to stop you from eating the snickers. What do you want more weight loss or the snickers?
Had hernia repair during band surgery, was told it was large, what size I don't know. Just that I was having alot of heart burn before surgery and now it's smooth sailing - none at all.
Baned 8/29/07 I got my second fill 10/18 up to 7.6 CC"s. My doc's nurse has you lay down, injection to numb location, gives fill then has you set up with needle still in and has you drink water. I only get 2 sticks and don't feel anything during it. I must admit I was scared silly when I went to get first fill. Sorry you had a bad experience.
