  1. Well that title caught my eye, but I am not missing just new. I am two months out from surgery, have lost 30 lbs, and seem to have too much space, now. (not before) I go for my 1st fill maybe in a week. How do they determine how to fill, or how much, or if???? Glad you found Angie, it was sounding like some serious concern was goin' on. Angie, I wont go missing but we do have that other part of the message in common. Flower Girl- from Cape Cod:peace:
  2. Hi, I dont understand the filling thing. I know that the Dr can add liquid to the band, but what happens then??? Flower Girl
  3. Hi, all, Flower Girl here. I had my three week checkup today. Finally in the last three days, I feel normal, and am ready to exercise, and go back to work. Re: the pill question, the Dr today said break up the bigger pills and empty the capsules, my internist said not to bother. So beeing a lazy----, I havent been doing anything other than making sure that there is food down there, and adding a bit of liguid after a while to wash them through. I take 2 prescription meds, a multivitamin, glucosamine, and a calcium supplement. I always took them altogether before, but now I take the scripts at breakfast, and the vitamins-etc at lunch and dinner. Glad there are other Ma people out there. I am on the Cape.
