Hi everyone and thank you for ur words of encouragement. I just called Dr. Gellman's office, and have an appt to go see him on 1/25. He doesnt take oxford anymore :eek: so i have to pay 150 for an office visit, but he does fills via a radiologist so that should be covered. wish me luck thanks again!

hi, im glad i found this site because i really need some support. i was banded 5/21/03. i lost a little over 50 pounds, had 2 fills i think the first year, and then began gaining it all back . i learned how to eat around the band, ive not really been restricted much at least for the last 2 years, and can eat everything and anything. now im embarassed to call my doctor and ask about a fill, i'm mortified that after being so motivated and going through all those tests and an OPERATION, ive failed. i dont know if my pouch is stretched, im sure it is. the soda rule i remember hearing about but i didnt know it could do that and ive been drinking soda for years. im trying to get up the courage to call my doctor on monday. to make matters worse my 2 1/2 year relationship just broke up and the thought of dating the way i look now makes me shake. i just want the doctor to fill me so much that i can only drink water at this point, but im afraid ive messed everything up. im hoping someone out there will have some insight into what im going through....my 5 year bandervsary is coming up and if i dont do something soon i'll be at my starting weight by then. thanks so much for listening,,,,er,,,,reading
