Congrats and the best of luck to you. It will change your life! We used to have a support group hrer in Columbus but it was ended w/out explanation. I'm almost two years out and would enjoy some lap band company. Do you live on pst or in Columbus?

Same here. Looks like the closest to us is in Albany. Do you have Tricare by chance? Do you know of any support groups in our area? Thanks!

I live in Columbus. I would love to get together and to get some people from our old group back together.

I'm in Columbus....lets get another one started

Does any person out there know of a fill Dr in the Columbus, Georgia/ Phenix City, Alabama area? I would be willing to carpool if the distance is too far but the Dr must take Tricare. Thank You!

I am going through the same thing......again! I have not had a fill in about 2 mo. and all of a sudden I'm "stuck." Even with ice cream I get the stuck feeling. I get the advice of liquids and smaller bites too but and I'm following that. It seems like I can't get rid of the stuck feeling. It's been about 3-4 days now.AGGGGGHHHHHHHH! Also along with the stuck feeling I burp after every drink or sip of liquid.BLAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!

Dear Cocoabean, I am taking your advice. I am going to have some liquid removed on Monday. I now do think I am filled too much. I woke up this morning and had my first drink of coffee for the day w/ that funky stuck feeling as it went down. I don't mind eating less but not being able to eat anything is horrible. THANKS!!!!

Seems like I was doing great until my 3rd fill. I have one day of getting something stuck and after that I cannot even do soft/mushy foods. My band is not too tight. I was perfectly fine the first week after my fill. I think after a day or two of sliming I may not be letting my stomach rest long enough (I was told it may swell after sliming). I had my surgery the 1st of Sept. and have lost 53 pounds (and my goal is another 25)BUT I'm afraid that I may reach my goal in a VERY unhealthy way.....starvation or complete liquid diet a little too soon. I almost dread trying to eat each day and am sick to death of soup.....HELP!!!!!!

I am going through the same thing right now and would love to hear/read any advice you get.

WOW!! Looks like we are in the same boat! My huband was not too fond of the idea either until he went to the seminar with me. I go on the 1st of September too for my band! Good luck!
