Yes girlfriend, it won't happen over night. Enjoy eatting while you can because one day it will all come to a halt.

I felt no restriction after my 1st fill and wondered if I was ever gonna gonna lose weight, but after my 2nd... Oh boy. Just take your time, when it happens you will be plesantly surprised and even happier you stuck it out.

And don't froget everyone is different it could take 2, 3 or 4 fills before you feel restriction.

I don't want to scare any of you, but the needle is huge compared to most & left me bruised for at least 2 days after.

I did not use novicane, this time I will request it...

2nd fill will be Dec. 4th

I too had an incision that wouldn't heal. It was the largest one of them all (camera hole). People kept saying it was infected & since it was done in TJ I had no one to ask other than my own insurance/physician. I cleaned it with alcohol & peroxide daily, still ooze. So, I started taking penicillin I had in my medicine cabinet. Then 2 days ago I put fresh aloe on it & it was like magic, its dry! I don't know why I didn't think of Aloe sooner....

I'm only 2 wks & 2 days out & I'm to start mushies and I feel I can eat a whole lot more. I'm scared to start eatting too because I'm afraid it will bring cravings back & all the hard work will have been for nothing. I get a fill Nov. 6th and can't wait.

The key word is moderation.

You figure 100 cals for every shot & 100 cals for 5 oz of wine... Don't forget the calories in the mixers.

You do the math.

I went to MX for $6250 & fills are included during the 1st yr. You only pay $100 for x-rays...

I'm game if you get enough people together! And, the price is right...

You go girl!

Unfortunately I too could drink/eat that in a sitting.

Arn't you excited we will never be that hungry again?

I was searching the internet last night for Lap Band... a video appeared on You Tube.

You can actually see the procedure & even fills. There is so much info on the net for this procedure.

I plan on taking 2 days maybe 3. I too sit on my butt.

; )

Absolutely ma'am! You may be drinking too many calories...

5oz glass of wine is about 100 cals

1.5oz of alcohol is about 100 cals

not to mention any mixers...

Don't over do it. You came all this way, don't sabatoge yourself.

My date is Oct 3rd, this Sat. I am a self pay due to a low BMI (30-31). I am going to TJ to see Dr Lopez Corvala. I am excited & can't wait. This website has been an amazing source of info.

Good luck to you!

I'm with you girlfriend! I'm sick of people telling me I don't need it. Stop eatting so much & excercise.......

I'm 34, don't people understand if we could control this we would? I only need to lose 50 lbs & I have literly tried everything.

That's great!

I may be in the same boat. I am about 195... Low BMI & self paying in TJ.

You have never had an adjustment?

How many days would you say you had to take before you could return to work?

Thanks!

Thanks, I thought I was the only one who couldn't figure out why it wasn't posting to my account... Good ?

Which Dr did you use?

What happened when you had complications? What were you eatting and where did you get help from?

I too am seeking to use Dr Lopez Corvala. I am so excited, your story helped ease my nerves!

I am as excited for you as I am for myself. i haven't set the date yet but I am definetly ready! I am considering Dr Lopez as well... Anything at all negative?

I am a 1st timer too, I have the same problem. I eat until i am stuffed because once i start eatting i can't stop until I feel like i'm gonna pop. I haven't set my date yet, but am ready! Good luck
