  1. I hear you ! I have to travel to Toronto from Thunder Bay, it makes it an expensive weekend. Let me know what happens . I will have to talk to them about it when I am there in July.
  2. My last fill was the beginning of June and now I do have restriction. Not tight but I do need to make sure that I chew really well and stay away from bread. In the morning I am much more restricted. I will be in Toronto in the end of July should I book another fill ? I am comfortable and can pretty much eat what I want in small amounts . Any sugestions ?
  3. When I went for my 3rf fill she said it was on it's side but it was fine . What does that mean ? I guess I should have asked, but she did not seem too concernes .
  4. heck I will be happy to be able to shop in a regular store , pick a pair of pants off the rack and they fit !
  5. It took me two years of listening to everyone onthis site to decide to do it. My only regret is that I waited the two years. I should have done it sooner. I love my band , it keeps me in line. You do need to eat smartly. Stick with ie, work with it , it does work.
  6. hello, which site can you get the tag ?
  7. For me the third fill seems to be doing the trick . I do have restriction and fell good. I am only now beginning to wonder simce I will be in Toronto at the end of July should I get a 4th fill , or wait. What to do , what to do !
  8. Mine is under my breastbone and a bit down as well and it is all good .
  9. That is so great to here about all of you. Great job !
  10. Mandi told me to bring a pillow. and was I ever glad I did it made the plane ride back , and car rides so much better. I left Toronto 3 days after surgery
  11. Well I got the 3rd fill and now I have restriction. The last one I had restriction for about a min, then nothing. I am hoping that this lasts a while. I am up to 5.5cc
  12. I had my surgery on Friday and was back to work on monday. But I would say it was a week before I felt great. The first 2 days were the worst for me. By week three I traveled to Egypt feeling wonderful ! All the best to you
  13. I was wondering if my port might have flipped since it does stick out ?
  14. I do love my band !!
  15. Well I just email the person who does fills. I believe that her name is Nancy. She gets back to me right away, I only hope this time there is no problems. I also have questions and because the other person was not familiar with me, I have to wait until Friday. I hate voicemail too!
  16. I love it there, but just make sure that you confirm your fill apt, as I flew in for my apt and the person who I had the apt with : did not show up even though I confirmed with them. I was able to get the fill but that is not the point. I would have had the biggest meltdown! I have another fill next Friday, so I hope that all goes well.
  17. All the best with the de fill. The running sounds cool, I would not mind doing that some day, maybe when I have one ass lol
  18. We my plan is under way. I went to the gym... On my way to having one ass lol
  19. Thanks for the advice Yoda.Every fill I have had so far , they needed to do a defill . I quess why change a good thing
  20. I was banded at TLBL. I loved the location for when I am I Toronto , and lots of people said good things about them. I had good experiences with then since I have been there.
  21. I Have had 2 fills and two small de fills. The de fills hurt way more. I am hoping that as I lose more weight the port will not pop out more, but I guess you never know what will happen. I do find that the first day I have the fill, I am tight and need some taken out but after that very little restriction. On this fill should I put up with having trouble swallowing Water knowing that the next day will be better ?
  22. I am really sucking on the exercise part and this weekend I made a good start at trying to fix that. I made it to the Gym three times this weekend and I made a plan for this week . I got to get my lazy ass moving !
  23. I am going for a fill at TLBC on June 1st All the best to you !
  24. I must have fat behind and infront of the muscles, but my port sticks out. It feels neet to touch it. I do have a question, my last fill they said that the port is on it's side. What causes it to move ? I do a lot of stomach work and undulations with dancing, I wonder if that was it ?
  25. Congrats Guys ! I am glad that you are all doing so well !
