I am so psyched- i took matters in my own hands and called my Dr and he will give me more of a fill tomorrow- fingers crossed. Late night munchies is hard- brushing my teeth and going to bed works sometimes- also popcorn but I am scared to try it with the band- also I find chewing gum to be a life saver, although some Doc say no mine siad fine- just don't swallow it!! I will keep you posted!

Hi Ladies- so I am 24 hours after my first fill and I am dissapointed that I do not feel more restriction or satiation. I was really hungry last night and got up an dmade scrambled eggs- i figured they were protein. But I am MUCh hungrier than I thought I would be. I am really trying to pay attention to what is emtional and physical hunger. I wonder how long I should wait before I call the Dr's and ask for more?

Hi Fellow March Bandsters! Iw as banded on March 10th -lost 10pds and gained it all back in bandster hell which I found pretty tough. I just got my first fill this a.m. It was a walk thru the park. I am now drinking some soup but feeling fairly hungry but fairly quickly satisfied. We shall see- I got 4cc's - I PRAY THIS WORKS...I was really discourgaed when I could eat everything a week post op. Fingers crossed to us all! How did you all learn hod to do your tickers etc.?

HI Guys- I am Marty and I got banded on March 10th and would like to get "in the loup here"....I like March madness Melting Maidens!! I have to figure out how to use this system- where are the starter lessons for how to use this site and download pictures and charts etc? any suggestions? I'd really LOVE to connect to others going thru this weird and wonderful experience! Marty

Hi GUys- I go in on Tuesday for my band- any last minute advice? I am encouraged that someof you guys are doing so well- i hate to ask but have you seen any loss yet? what is your plan for weighing? I have 100 + to lose.....sigh feels very daunting. Martyh

I am so glad I found you guys!!! I have been searching for a group to connect to- can we make oursleves inot one? I am MArty, 44 yo, live in NH and am having my band on feb 17th. I vasilate from being SO excited and reading scary things here that make me really scared- my dr. told me the surgery would be like gallbaldder removal which I have already had and it was a walk in the park -but the stories on here...yikes! and it is hard to not feel like this is my "last time ever eating.."blah blah blah- I am wrsteling with what to tell my 7 and 5 year old and who in my world really needs to know other than family and closest friends etc. and I have heard mixed advice about howlong to do liquids etc. I am a positive and optomistic person usually but today I am feeling a bit overwhelmed and scared- thanks for listening!
