Michelle

jircads, congrats.I hope all goes well please k i t . Here are my questions I hope they help.

What is the difference between the 3 ports the low profile, the rapid port and the regluar used port? What band do you use? I read that the band called realize band comes with a smaller port. Is 1 band / port more effective then another? I want the low profile. I heard it wasnt as big (not so easily seen or felt). I also heard that there is a 4th port the flip flop that has had alot of complaints. Where will the port be positioned? Do you use stapples, glue or stitches? How often do I get a fill if I feel as if I need a fill before my appt. will that be a problem? What causes a band to erod? What if any signs that your band has eroded? same question regarding a band that has slipped. If I have any concerns/questions after surgery can I call my Dr.? i dont want to talk to 5 different people I rather deal with my Dr.

Thats about ot if i come uo with more b4 I c my Dr. I ll let u no. Michelle

THANK YOU SO MUCH i AM SO RELIEVED to find out I am not crazy. I have had surgery b4 and i have never experienced these types of emotions/fears. I hate to say it but I really think it has more to do with food. I am sed. for the 5th of Feb. and you dont know how happy I was to find out that My. Dr. doesnt require me to do the liquid diet prior to surgery. I am not so sure about that now because I think being on the liquid diet can also prepare me for the after surgery process, So now that another issue I have to stress about. LOL

Midchelle

This was my 3rd fill and I felt like this each time but only for a day or two and then i felt as if my band would open up. I feel better today my yogurt went down fine and my water intake is much better so I will be sure to monitor myself and again thanks I have been keeping up with your blogs and I enjoy them. I hope all is well and keep up the good work. Michelle

hello well i am happy to hear you live around the corner we can get together and work out. I really dont have a method to my losing except I can bearly eat anything lol. I pretty much survive on squash mushrooms and fish.

I only plan to stay there a month to learn tech. and then I am going back to 24 hour on Mc Kenliey (i cant spell for sh@@) lol. ok I hope the Dr. helps you but I guess the less you have to lose the harder it is . You dont have to lose that much. I started out at 265 and I am 229 as of this morning. Yeah for me I am so excited. Hope to hear from you. Michelle. PS what is your name?
