Donna, THANK YOU ~!~!~ Your awesome. I appreciate EVERYTHING that you have shared with me. I'm so happy that I have found someplace to go & get answers. I'm just so new & so not sure of everything. ..... your wonderful!!

Thank you both for your replys!!! I appreciate it. In answer to how I got my fill- I didn't have to use a pillow; but I did have to lay on my bed and he numbed me first then he injected the saline. The only part that was uncomfortable was the 1st shot. Second question to is you donna, what is PB? I have read that on several posting... is that where you have to throw up? Also, one thing that has ME REALLY CONCERNED is what if when I ate the kids meal I got slippage? Does that mean I went through the surgery for nothing and the band won't work? Is 17lbs in 5.5 weeks good or below average? My start weight was 257..... Thanks again!!!

Hello, I am new to the board. I got banded by Dr Cribbins in Dallas on March 30th. I have lost a total of 17 lbs. (5.5 weeks) What I am worried about is I just got my first fill on Friday may 5th. I was in a rush out of the dr's office and didn't read my instructions. I ate a chicken fajita that same night. The next day (yesterday) I ate a kids meal happy meal. Is this normal? This is the most I have ate since I got the surgery. Do I need to call the Dr and tell them? Do I need to get another fill since I have probably stretched this one out? Will it go back smaller? I have never had that full feeling yet... Even though I am eating less, I don't think that I should be able to eat a full kids meal right after with no problem whatsoever. Any help is appreciated!!!

Hello. I was wondering if you can help me. i don't even know if I am reply correctly, but I want to [post something on this to get some feedback, but can't figure it out. ??? Thanks
