  1. Self-Fill are you doing this?

    jodyhoot replied to TQUAD64's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
    I only hope the people who are self filling are kidding; esp. the ones using something other than saline. I've been a critical care nurse for 30 yrs and have been banded over 2 yrs. The risks are beyond your wildest imagination when you start injecting yourself.:redface:

  2. Too tight?

    jodyhoot replied to onikenbai's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
    It's my experience that each fill is different, and some you feel right away and some 2-3 wks later. Everyone is different, but you have to be sure you can at least get the fluids down to stay hydrated until you decide it's too tight. You prob. need to call your MD.
