Grace, I need some advice from you. My doctor (havent been banded ad of yet and I have gotten some feedback on the doc on here....) doesnt do fills if the patient is losing a pound a week. But this seems pointless. I am not getting this thing to lose a pound a week. Now I am super nervous about this thing. I was hoping to get the first fill at 6 weeks, but now I dont think that will happen for me. My question is, how easy is it to switch doctors after surgery to get fills? I want to work the surgery the way it is supposed to work.....what is your advice? Also, how much can I expect to lose post op before a fill? Thank you in advance for your advice.....please help me out here.....

Did you get a fill today Kathy?

<p>hmmmmm.....will he give fills if you want them tho? I would really like to lose a good amount of weight. He told me that he only expects me to get to 170 in 2 years. I dont feel this is acceptable. I want better results than that. I see here that you have lost a great deal since august. Do you feel adequately restricted?</p> I just dont want to have a surgery to do it on my own. I dont feel that it will be worth all this hassle and money to do it on my own at one pound a week. It doesnt seem worth it. Now I dont feel as excited as before. I feel like it isnt worth all the trouble. :(

oh, i did it, nevermind....hehehe

I am Alicia and I am getting banded on Dec. 11th with Dr. Allen at Norton Hospital. I am sooo excited to get this started! I see from the posts on here that he has been good to you all. Tell me, how long does it take to get your band to the "sweet spot"? I am a bit worried about this. Also, I was not required to go on a pre op liquid diet? Should I do this? What diet is it and where do I get more info on it? Thanks! :help::bounce:
