  2. Heya and congrats on your band. I had my lap band on 3/20/06. Also on my Birthday. I had so many mixed feelings about have it done on my Birthday. But as I look back on it now, it is the best gift I could ever give myself. And it really is cause I feel great!
  3. Heya all..been mad busy so haven't been online much. Has a ? I hope all of you can shed some light and some support. Going for my second fill this Friday. I was banded in March. I felt no restriction no nothing with this fill. I've read that this is normal. When does restriction usually kick in?? I'm a lil depressed I've lost 27lbs before the first fill and maybe like 4 pounds since this first fill. By all means I'm happy about this loss. I'm sticking to the diet just was curious to when I will actually feel full. I never get this feeling. Is this normal ?? hehe :help: :help: :help:

  15. Heya Everyone,I hope I'm explaining this correctly. Curious to know if this sounds normal. I'm 1 month post op and If I press the area around my port I feel muscle. I thought I would be able to feel the port. By no means am I complaing about that ( hehe). I've read so much and some have said sometimes you can see it stick out. My mind races alot and I was thinking maybe it became unattached ? thanks ..
