Ok, I had a fill today and they did a "Pressure Fill" instead of a regular fill. Does anyone know the difference between the two?

My name is Angela. I had my band done on 8/14/08. I have lost 70 pounds since then. I wasn't the most compliant patient after my surgery. In January, I had back surgery and they had to take all the fluid out of my band for me to have my back operated on. I am going in tomorrow to have my band filled back up again and I am going to be more serious about it. I am curious how many calories everyone is taking in daily. My doc suggested I only have 600 calories daily. That seems so low to me. I am looking for some thoughts from everyone here and for support also. Wish me luck!!!!

Does anyone know of an app like this for the blackberry????

Yes I definitely burp since I have been banded. Like someone said previously, it seems like when the food goes through, an air bubble comes up!!

Congratulations all!! My anniversary was Aug 14th. I am only down 60 pounds but working at it still.

Congratulations!!! My anniversary was Aug 14. I have been banded for a year and down 60 pounds also. It is GREAT to be able to go to a store to buy clothes!!!! I am anxious to lose more weight.

I had my surgery 8/14/08. I am down 50 pounds. The past 6 months I have maintained my weight but haven't lost anything. Granted, my food choices haven't been the greatest either. I am feeling like a failure and really need some encouragement and ideas on how to get back on board with my band. Any suggestions would be great, I dont want to gain the weight back...HELP!!!
