I was banded by Dr. Fox on 8-8-08 and I am doing great. He and his staff are very knowledgable and helpful. I have lost about 57 lbs and I'm half way to my goal. Best of luck to you and your pre op liquid diet. Hang in there when things get rough because it will even out.:thumbup:

My lovely lady lumps are slowly but surely doing a disappearing act Not that I am so sad about it but my hubby is. You're right, nothing a little lift won't cure

I am at as of yesterday 199 lbs. and believe me I was tearing up. It feels so good to accomplish this small goal on my way to the big goal. Keep it up girl and I will see you in the regular size department soon....

Do bands always need to be slightly unfilled when you start to experience slime and pb when you eat. I was able to eat a meal 48 hours after my last fill on 11-10-08 with no problem, but ever since that meal I have barely been able to drink hot tea with out some slime coming up. I have managed to swallow down a few bites of food about mid-day, but morning and evening, even if I chew slow and eat slow, I can only do about half a spoon of food before I start to feel slime and severe pain and eventually pb. Can I wait this out or should I get a little unfill?:thumbup:

My band is tight alot! In the morning and again around suppertime. I can usually eat a few bites at lunch and getting my viatamins and protien is the main goal of the day. I have tried the warm tea to help eat dinner, but usually I end up sliming and pbing the tea? Maybe I need to be unfilled?

I am a fellow Oregonian and I was banded on 8/8/08 or ate, ate, ate as I like to call it Hope all is well and best wishes to you.
