So how are you? Did that last fill continue to work for you?

I actually gained! 5lbs.... some is water weight comes and goes cyclically but some is my not eating as well as I was. I only have 1.5cc in my band, so there's lots of room to go and I've just got to make it down to see my doc soon.

Both of us appear to be moving away from using this site but I'd love to keep in touch outside of it. My exmail is sxmurin@gmail.com if you want to drop me a line sometime.

Hi somehow managed to delete your PM though I read it first. What I liked about sleeve was that it didn't require the adjustment and there was no chance of band slippage or erosion; just seemed that long term managment was simpler. But I get the issues about lack of reversibility. There's also much less cumulative experience with it.

Re the port: yes, I can feel it, but can't see it. I don't think someone who didn't know it was there or wasn't looking for it could feel it. I'm a doc and I'm not tempted to go near it with a needle... but we'll see in a few months or years. : )

Good luck, feel free to contact me any time.

Just wanted to check in with you and see how you're doing since your band. You sent me a PM after my first post warning me that some folks would blast me for having a low BMI..... no problems so far. In just under 3 weeks I've lost 16lbs and dropped a size... am very excited about the future and hope you are too!
