  1. Hi Fanny What mine are you at? My son is in Paraburdoo. I too am from the West. Banded by Dr Harsha Chandraratna at SCGH on 5/8/09 Had my 4th fill last week, seems to be going good. Nice to meet you Caz
  2. Hi Guys I have just been reading all your posts, and I too am in the same situation, I was banded on 5th August 2009. Had my first fill 6 weeks later 3ml - no restriction had my 2nd fill 2 weeks later 2ml - no restriction had my 3rd fill yesterday of 3ml, (then you have to drink Water to make sure its ok) and blow me down i swallowed 2 mouthfuls got this pain like feeling -like food had got stuck, and couldnt swallow a 3rd! The doc said get back on the bed, there is too much in there, and promply took out 1.5ml! Came home thought ill test this now, and guess what, no restriction! Well I reckon, the 4th one could be the winner. I think I have a 9ml band also. Ive only lost 8kg which was in the first 4 weeks. Keep your peckers up Caz :thumbdown:

  4. Hi everyone Feeling a bit down in the dumps today, had my first fill 3ml - last Monday, still dont have any restriction, and to prove it i ate chicken last night! with no trouble at all!!! So I called the doctors office and they said it was quite normal and the next one in 2.5 wks time should make a difference. mmmmmm I am stiil able to eat more food than i should as i keep feeling hungry and have now put 2 kgs back on. Cheers Caz

  9. Hi everyone Well, Its all done now, had my band fitted on Wednesday the 5th August 2009. Today is day 2 post op, I have to say I feel pretty good, I was discharged from hospital less than 24hrs after my op. I have been moving around most of the day and yesterday even took my 2 little dogs for a walk yesterday, (think I went a bit too far as i felt quite dizzy when i got back) I started at 101kg and today am down to 97.5kg, i suspect its only fluid, but i still feel great about it, ( can anyone tell me where i find that little weight measuring thing tool on here? ta catch you all soon, Caz :thumbup:
