  1. I am going to have her do that. I never thought about trying that. I will keep you posted as to my findings.
  2. This is normal. As you slowly lose weight the fat around your band in your stomach also goes away to making the band less restrictive.
  3. I was banded two years ago. My first two fills went fine. I felt some restrictions after each fill for several months afterwards. If I over ate I would feel the overfull feeling at the top of my throat and have to belch some and sometimes some would come back up. When I reached the point that I could eat anthing I wanted without and limits I went in for my third fill. I did not notice anything different this time. I waited several months and went in for my fourth fill, still nothing different afterwards. My fill Dr has told me I can only get one more fill. Now when I eat my normal natural stomach gets full and I feel pressure pushing against my port from the inside. I eat as I did before the band. I do not have to chew extra, or anything. I had my fill Dr. check and she said there was no slippage. If it wasnt for the pressure on my port after I eat I cant even tell I had been banded. Do you or know of someone whom might be able to help me figure out what has happen to my band.
  4. I am newly banded, it has been 3 weeks today. I am wondering if the amount of food I am consuming at one sitting is the correct amount. I can eat about 1 1/2 cups of food. I feel this is to much. I am affraid of streaching out my new stomach. Will the amount reduce after I get my first fill? If this amount is to much what do I do. I don't won't to walk around hungry all day. :help:

This week will be the week to finalize everything. I also made a new chat buddy in here yesterday. His name is Marc, he is gay and lives in NYC. His sign in name is silentfades and his email address is silentfades@aol.com I like this site. It has answered alot of my questions. The main problem is that I can't seem to get back to a previous place I saw something I wont'ed to read.

    I am going to use the Bajanor Obesity Center in TJ Mexico, the cost is $7950.00 including air fare and 5 star hotel cost. They pick you up and take you where ever you need to go. They also do a program where you can put down $4000.00 and make 6 monthly payments with an automatic draft of $466.00. I have heard nothing but good things about this clinic.
  12. In what area of your profile do you need to edit. I can't seem to find the spot I need to stick the url stuff.
