1st fill....They had trouble finding the port
Yes I know what you went through My first fill was horrible I was the last appointment of the day so it gave my doctor so much more time to access my port. Oh my god I was in ther for an hour and in pain for 2 days. But the brighter side is that the next time you go for a fill he now knows exactly where it is and should have no problem I just had my third fill today I was in and out in 10 minutes Good Luck Vickie

Heat and Nausea
I have not experienced that feeling, Thank god I was always one who hated the summer but now with 61 pounds gone i feel great and i am totalling loving the heat everyone says I am crazy but last week we had 100 degree weather and I walked 3 miles I was soaked but i felt great.............not looking forward to the upcoming seasons. I do think it has somethingt to do with you water intake I drink about a gallon a gay give or take a few glasses so i am well hydrated. Plus my skin is so much clearer

Maybe a little TMI (toot toot)
LOL I thought I was the only one that this happened to . No sooner do I put food into my mouth I have to leave the table to pass the gas. Now that is ok when I am home the dh is really jelous. but i work in an office with all men I am the only female and they pass gass all the time and I still get up and leave the office. One time I had to fart so bad I ran out of the office and my boss ran after me cuz he thought something was wrong (he was there for me with my first Stuck feeling ) Just as I was letting go and mind you it was really loud he came out side and heard the hole thing.... He now knows when I leave the office I gotta let loose and he announces it to everyone and the try to convince me to fart in front of them HELL NO.. They would be green with envy if they heard it LOL

Is Sex Better?
My Husband and I were both banded. I got it done first and when we had sex before he had his surgery it was ok. Now we both have it and I cant get enough of him. We have achieved things that we have never done in the 9 years we have been together (69) Not only being banded and loosing the weight feels great but to have your man going through the same as you. It feels even better. We have a new approach to our sex life it called anything goes except for one thing....... But on a serious note I have never been this confident in my own body my hole life and to have that confidence makes the sex great you feel like a supermodel ( or at least I do). Who cares about the excess skin I dont and dh is not looking at that he is looking at me and telling me all the time how beautiful I am and how much he loves me in and out of bed. So it is safe to say that I belong to the club called I LOVE SEX
