Does Dr Watkins use the ultra sound too?

My closest girl friend flat out said to me that being around me makes her feel so bad about her weight as she knows the band isn't an option for her right now. At first it hurt but then I realized that she will see the results regardless of what I say---so I just play it down. I do let her know how hard it is though--the pbing , heart burn, limited food choices etc... That does seem to balance the tables a bit. I think we all have to watch out that we don't become too self absorbed and frankly become bores aroung aour friends and family.

Hi I am from the Chicago area and would love to find some local support. I was banded in Mexico on 12/21/07, so no contacts through doc. Thanks

I am having a very similar experince--I can't seem to eat any of the 'right' foods and as much of the wrong foods as I want. I am so frustrated as iI want to make good choices but I know it will result in agony, slime and pbing. I have found that if I go out with others it seems to be best if I order a 'safe' meal like--soup, chilli etc.. To avoid the embarrassment and still not overdo the intake. Thanks for your thread it has been a help--I am only 7 weeks out with one fill and struggling

Hi, gas X was a life saver for me. Also loved 'smart water' plain water with electrolytes added because I couldn't take much in and gatorade tasted too sweet. Also Special K protein water was great too. Goodluck

Hi, I had a fill with him last friday(my 1st) he is great. I was in and out in no time. I would highly recommend him.
