  2. I eat almonds occasionally , I was instructed nothing is off limits but do realize when you are full and stop. Everybody reacts different with their bands. Some days certain things go down and other days they wont. If I get stressed it really gets tight.
  3. I am so glad you said that BethL. I am sitting here burping and feeling that ache in my throat. I have never had this feeling after a fill. It was my 4th fill. I know they had a little trouble with scar tissue and took a few more jabs then before. I called them today and they said I could come in or wait and see what happens till Monday. I got the fill on Tues. I can get some liquid and soft stuff down, but not much. I think I'll ride it out and see if it loosens in a few days.
  4. I was banded July 10 . My first fill was 4ccs the second fill she added 1cc. I didnt feel hardly any restriction. This third fill I got 1cc more and that did it. I love being at this point. It just depends on your body.
  5. Got my insurance statement yesterday. $76,000 for the surgery and $5,000 for the surgeon. I waited till my deductible was almost maxed then got it It cost me $168.00 for everything out of pocket.

  10. This is going to sound strange but has anyone ever had an ache at your port. Its not severe just a little sting or soreness. I noticed more after i bent over in the shower to shave my legs. Now even when I'm just sitting watching TV I can feel an occasional ache there. Ive been banded since July 10th. Maybe as you lose weight the port just adjusts different. It doesn't feel like it flipped just a little sore at times.Its not the inscion its inside.

  15. I dont seem to feel any restriction. Im at 5cc. They took the fill out of my daughters a couple weeks ago. She couldnt keep any thing down and was starting to throw up blood. They put her on protein shakes only without the fill. Funny, she was scared but it really did heal her and she goes in next week to refill. She said what was really strange was when they took it out she felt more restriction then she had in a long time. Do check with your Doc. Breakfast- Vannila peanut butter protein shake Lunch- roasted chicken snack- rocky road protein bar Dinner-scrambled eggs and ham snack-chocolate protein drink
