welcome Newbies

Welcome to all the new banders. This is a great board. Glad to have you here.

I get mine a DePaul. You will find that alot of doctors only do fills for the patients they did the surgery on. Since you had your surgery in Mexico alot of doctors wont do your fills. You should try a fillcenterusa.com

EAS AdvantEdge Carb control shakes............Strawberry is my favorite. I get them at walmart. I am doing great. I am down 70lbs in 5 1/2 months. I just broke a plateau I was on for 2 weeks. YAY I am half way to my GOAL weight. Very excited.

I am at 5 1/2 month. Down 69 lbs. I feel so much better. Keep up the good work everyone.

I am 4 1/2 months out right now and down 60+ lbs. I am so thrilled. Chris you and your wife are doing very well. Keep up all the hard work. It pays off in the end.

Congrats. Now the weight will just drop off you.

My appt was at 11:15am Not sure about the liquids tho

Dr Scott does all the lap band adjustments in Radiology under Fluoro.GL tomorrow on your 1st fill.I am getting my 3rd fill tomorrow too

They give you a numbing shot. Then the stick a needle into your port and release saline into your band. It does not hurt you just fell pressure.

You are doing amazing. I am 4 months out and down 65lbs. I go for my 3rd fill this thursday. Cant wait.

I had my surgery at DePaul on October 2007. My surgeon was De La Torre. I have lost 65 lbs

Welcome to the Losers Bench
