Okay, I have been banded almost 6 weeks. I am due for my first fill on Sept 12. I had restriction the first 2/3 weeks due to swelling. For the last 2/3 weeks I have been exactly as I was before bieng banded. Able to eat anything I want and the amount that I want. I have not been binging like I have been used to most of my life. I have been "white knuckle dieting". Now, just a couple days before my first fill I am getting tighter and have restriction. Not the amount I think I should have but very noticable. I layed down to take a nap at 1pm as I have to work graves tonight. I woke up after 3 hours and was like this. What could cause this? very confused. :help:

WELCOME! You will find great support here. Congrats on banding.

Goodbye posts do seem a bit dramatic. Especially because it seems some people do not actually leave. Almost seems more like an attention getter than an actual goodbye.

I wanted Danielle to win. I at least want her to win America's Choice. I do think Janelle deserves it more though. I wish it were possible for both Booger and Slutica to both lose.

I love football too. My fave time of year. GO RAIDERS!!!! But for this week only I need Jacksonville to get a score of 28 to win my football pool.

Love this show too. I definately hope Janelle loses. And her and Erica will now that they chose those Boogie and Will to be in the final four with. Those men have no loyalties to anyone but eachother. I hope will wins.

" Mama, you should have drowned them at birth." "mmmm, nuthin like a good piece a ass"

I was banded August 1st and my first fill is scheduled for September 12. I have not lost much weight since bieng banded. I am white knuckle dieting for the last 3 weeks. I had to wait to get my first fill as my doc won't do first fill until you are at least 6 weeks post-op. My question is, how long do you have to wait for a second fill if the first one doesn't give you adequate restriction? I hope I don't have to wait 6 weeks in between each fill.

One of THE best movies of all time. "You are evil, and you must be destroyed". LOVE IT.

I know, but she never seemed fat to me ya know? maybe for his skinny ass her "size 14 skin" was needed to cover his junk he needed to tuck.

I didn't mean it directed at Telly. We were quoting things from Silence of the Lambs. That is for anyone who thinks I am berating Telly. I promise I'm not. And a size 14 is probably considered big but I would give anything to be a size 14! LOL Cashley, Telly-anyone wanna do the tuck dance?

Excuse me, are you about a size 14? WOULDJA? LOVE THAT MOVIE

If your insurance is going to pay for your surgery then I'm sure they will pay most of your fill too. I haven't checked that email. that is my work email and I"m off today.

I think it means LAPBAND IS THE S---!

She is in my thoughts.:sick

I knew it, I knew it. FunnyD, Telly,GreatDame, HappyGilmore,foodstampchamp are all the same people. I knew none of you could be trusted. Especially that FoodStampChamp. I mean seriously, FSC, if you coudln't afford food, then why do you NEED the band??? Answer that hoochie!

I think it is a little bit of both. But I dont know the whole story. Seems like it may have been going on for a year or more.

I'm confusedest, who is who here? Can you answer me that Telly? Funnyduddies? if those are your real names.......

LOL

Um Telly- I'm pretty sure that stupidest IS a word. I mean how rediculousest can you be telly.

I figured so. I'm one of those people who thinks nothing happended before I got there. Talk about a self-involved ass. LOL

oooo, the ladies are hugging. This just went from interesting to HOT. JUST KIDDING. Am I the first person to go off topic with lesbian refrences????

Well I am a self-pay. And one of the things Dr. Watson includes if you are a self-pay is all your fills and office visits are free for the first year. After that I have to pay for my fills in full. I think they are about 250-300 dollars per fill without insurance.

I bet it got caught up in MY spam folder. I will check on it. Sorry about that.

Hi Patty- I'm also in Nevada. I sent you an email to the address you gave me in the pm. You and I have the same doctor. I was curious if you got the email I sent you or maybe it got caught up in your spam folder. Anyways, glad you are here and you will LOVE Dr. Hottie, I mean Dr. Watson.
