ENDOMGR

I went for my 4th fill- up to 6cc-2 days later I felt no restriction at all- I s/w the PA at my MD's office- she sied sometimes the saline disappears and I should come back for another fill- I am going on a cruise -and I can't get there sooner--I am really freaking out- Has this happened to anyone else? I will go back in to the doctors office in 3 weeks-for another fill- but am extremely upset- I can even drink water after eating-Not Happy!!!:w00t:

HI i MISSED THE nOVEMBER GROUP- CAN YOU TELL ME WHEN THERE IS ONE IN dECEMBER-i HAVE NEVER BEEN- BUT NEED ONE-

I live in New york- and N.J. is not convenient to stay for the conference-You have to take a bus or a subway to get into NYC- Staying in Manhattan will be worth the $$ if you have not been ther b4-public transportation is easy- Where are the seminars going to be?- try to find a hotel walking distance to there-they do have group packages if you look.

Hi we are not alone-I lost 23 lbs- had surgery 7/21/08 and some days I am starving- I have started to exercise more and drink more water- I have a fill 9/24- and I hope that they make it tighter- Sometimes I feel unhappy but everyone tells me to keep smiling- so you do the same- let me know how you are doing- I'll tell you what happens after my next fill-
