Hi.....Well, let me see, this is how it went down. I got a fill 1/2 a cc, that was too much, so they took out .25....So far I've been good, but today I had a BAD episode. It all started when we went to the mall to eat at the food court, SARKU. I had chicken and veggies, but that was giving me trouble, but didn't throw up or anything. Then for dinner my husband wanted pizza so I had two small slices on my plate and couldn't even get through one before I had the MAJOR problem!!!!! It was bad! I'm ok now though! Good luck and don't worry! I'm sure you'll be fine. Right now I'm between 175 and 176 and I really need to get down to 140, but I've been maintaining and not losing! SHEESH!

Hi.....Thanks for stopping by....I'm happy to hear that you're almost at the 50lb mark. Right now I'm stuck at 50 and haven't moved since December. I was contemplating getting another fill, but I'm not sure about it yet. We'll see what happens! Good luck. I'll keep you posted when the scale starts moving down again! LOL!

Self-pay costs of different surgeons.....
dlmyvette replied to amlus's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hello.... I had my band done in Hollywood Florida, at Same Day Surgery Center with Dr. Emil Matei. This was done 12/30/08 and I paid $14,000, this included pre-op appts, nutrition guidance, fills and check-ups for 1 year. After that it will be $75 per visit. -

Sweet Spot or possibly too tight - that is the question
dlmyvette replied to drtoliver's topic in LAP-BAND Surgery Forums
Hi....Sliming is when you just have saliva coming up and coming up. It's not vomit, just saliva filling up your mouth. Vomiting isn't good though, your band might be too tight. It could be too tight if you feel a knot in your throat, have reflux/heartburn or aren't getting enough liquids in. That was happening to me! -

Thanks Elcee: I went to the doc, they removed the .25 cc fill and will give me another fill probably .10. I feel much better but I'm sad because I'm now wanting to eat more like I was before the fill. I want to be at the right level. Maybe that next fill will do it for me! -
Hi All: Thank you so much for your posts, they are so helpful. I recently had a fill .25 cc's for a total of 6.25 cc's in my 10 cc band, at first I was fine, no problems. A week and a half later the band seemed to close tight. Since, I've been sliming all the time even without eating food, just from drinking Water. Not to mention I have a constant knot in my throat and burning so, I'm convinced I need a slight unfill. I'm a little bummed cause I was to the point where I wasn't needing to snack and I was feeling like, "ok, I'm at my sweet spot". So.....tomorrow, I'm gonna call the doc ASAP!

Thank you everyone for these posts. I was starting to think I was doing something wrong. I had a fill 10/14/09 of .25 cc's total 6.25 cc's, that day I was fine, all was well, however a week and a half later on 10/24/09, it's like the band closed itself up. That day I threw up everything and could not eat, I really didn't eat anything in the entire day and did not drink anything. Since, I haven't been able to get water down. This morning I had milk/carnation breakfast, a little coffee, then I had lunch, which was actual food and thought ok, I'm doing better, but 1/2 hour later I tried drinking water to start getting my liquids in and can't drink more than 1 bottle of water per day if that. I constantly feel like I have a knot in my throat and I BURP BURP BURP. So......I think I'm going to need an unfill. I'll be calling the docs office tomorrow morning.
