Janet went down the same road when the Dr. overfilled me and I ended going top the ER the Next evening to have some taken out. It was a very scary experience and would not ever wnaat to repeat it.

I had my third fill done on a Friday and should have stayed to drink they whole glass of water but left thinking everything was ok. However as the evening progressed I was unable to drink anything as it kept coming back up and got a bad case of the hiccups. I was unable to sleep at night and the next day was still unable to drink anything and was constantly throwing up. Later in the evening called the emergency line of Top surgeons and theny sugested I go into the ER room and geet some of the fill removed. I did this and had 4cc removed and it really made a difference. I willl make an appt this week to get another fill as it will have been about a month so figure the swelling will have gone down.

I quit drinking it about week before surgery which was july 2 and after going thur the withdrawl stage decided not to start again. I figured if I can stay away it only benefits me. Bit it was harder giving up the Soda with the caffeine thne giving up the beer.

I get my fills with Dr. Powell at the office in Santa ana.

I weigh myself once a day in the Morning . Help me to be accountable.

Hi Heather hang in there as the process is different for everyone. I have to constantly think about what I'm doing ans staying on top of drinking enough water and eating the right things.You made the right step in getting the band. Sean

I was a very big beer drinking as was not unusual to drink about 4 of the 24 oz bud light. Bu8t since the surgery gave that up as well as the Diet coke,Which was reallly hard,Manilu due to the carbination. It has made a differnece and has helped in the weight loss as well as eating more healthy so what the DR'S said was correct.Sean

I think Dr.Salimitari is no longer with Weight loss center as his picture is not on the website.

Wow Becky What an idiot she was . Beleive I would not have been able to hold my tongue and proably would of said something if my dog had a face like yours I make him wald backwards so not to offend everyone. Another one is when someone made a rude remark to winston churchill He said madam I can lose weight but you can;t change anything about being ugly!!ASean

I looked at the add for the weight loss center and he is no lonjger listed as one of the Dr's So I think he is not associated with this company anymore. Does anyone have information about him or where he may be? Sean

Tracie I admire you for your restraining yourself especailly when this person wasn't even part of your originalconservation.Sean

I started mushy foodd about 1 week after surgery. Sean

Can you do me a favor post when you get back as would be interested in hearing how it went for you. Sean

Good luck to all getting banded. I got Banded om july 2 and saw the Dr. a week later for after Surgery follow up and all is going well so far.Am glad I took 5 days off before going back to work. Surgery went great but was reallllly happy to get off liquid diet and least get into soft foods. Will be going for first fill on July 31.Will alos be happy to get back doing full work outs. I am able now at least able to work out on treadmill at a mild pace.

I was wondering what do you look for in buying protein bars. Do you look for the ones with less carbs and calories&Fat and with most protein?any information would be appreciated. Sean
