Hi, My name is April. I weigh 254 lbs. I started at 279. I was banded on Jan 8th, 2008. Very excited to be part of this web site. My goal wieght is 180. I would be super happy with that. I went for a third fill on Fri. the 18th. I am very restricted. I can only drink hot fluids. I had some grits yesterday morning. That was fine. But I called my fill person and she said I should not have done that. So I am back on hot liquids for 3 days. I have lost a couple lbs. since Fri. Just being on liquids. Anyway I hope I am not to full. I have a J & J and I am full to 9 whatever you call its. Let me know, if anyone has experienced this type of restriction and if its ok. Thanks.....:crying:

Hey, I wanted to thank you so much for your advice and experience. I went to my fill person and she took out .5 and I feel great. Lost 6 lbs in the process. However I am so glad I wrote to you people. You are awesome. Your advice gave me the courage to do what is right. Thanks again.

Thank you for your info. I went and got .5 taken out and I feel so much better. I lost 6 lbs in the meantime. So my metabolism is kickin right now. Clear fluids 2 more days the full liquids 2 days then mush for a day then intro to solids once again. No damage, but thanks to this forum was able to get the help I needed right away before any serious problems. Thanks szo much. You guys know best. Thanks again.

Called my fill Dr. She said give it a few days and see if things inprove. She asked me could I swallow my spit. Ofcourse I can. She thinks I will be ok. She said do the hot liquids for a couple days and then go to full liquids on Wed and give her a call then. Thank you for your advice. It is always good to hear from people that have experienced it. Did you go thru the stage where you could not drink cool liquids as well? What did you finally do?

I get my fills at a clinic in Tampa. Send me a private e-mail and I will give you the details. I have been to her 2 times and one fill in T.J. I think I am at my right spot of restriction. If I don't stave to death......LOL aprilk1772@hotmail.com The clinic is called Sandels Primary Health. She casts $150. w/o fluro and $75 extra for flouro. I think it may be a little more for 1st timers. Do not get it w/o flouro cause it is a guessing game then.... Get it right the first time.

I am very tight. Can only get down hot liquids right now. Had Lobster Bisque yesterday for dinner. I am up to 9 in a J & J. I do not know if I am too tight or if this is perfect. I can not drink cool liquids only warm or hot. Let me know? Thanks
