My surgeon suggested I get one right after I had surgery but I haven't been able to find one at a price I could afford. I'm looking harder now!!!

Congratulations and Good Luck... It is a journey in itself

OMG, Discomom!!! I am thinking and wondering the exact same thing however, I have already been unfilled once, and now I am wondering if I should have some more taken out. I have only been filled twice. The first one I still ate/drank just fine. I did have a couple stuck episodes. but nothing major. (I blogged about them on my other blog) But this time I have had nothing but trouble. I went 4 days and then had some taken out and now it has been 4 more and I'm thinking I should have more out, but then I'll have a meal where it is fine! I drink (sip) Water all day ok, in the morning I can take all my meds with hot coffee, no problem. I've even been able to eat a piece of toast after the coffee. lunch comes and I can't get anything to go. maybe a bite but then it feels as tho it is stuck and hurts like crazy. No matter how small, how much I chew OR what it is... I usually end up sliming and then just sipping water the rest of the day till I get home to eat somee kind of small dinner at 6. Dinner normally has been fine. I am starting to get concerned. But I am afraid to get more taken out for fear that I will have NO restriction and therefore NO weight loss! ADVICE PLEASE, ANYONE??? :-(

I have officially named my band and posted it along with the crappy weekend and reason for an unfill needed today. Read them both here: 2010's New Life 4 Me!!! Don't forget to comment & follow me! :thumbup: THNX!

I finally came up with a great name (I think) And thanks to my DH... My port is slightly tilted so he says I should call her EILEEN... for "I Lean"... What do you think?

I went yesterday also for my 2nd fill... I was banded on 1/12. first fill 2/24 of 1.75 cc. Yesterday I got another 1.5 cc. and I'm telling you right now that I feel like I should have asked him to back down to 1 instead of the 1.5 I have ahad a hard time getting ANYTHING down last night and this morning. I wanted more because I lost nothing since the first fill! I was exactly the same weight yesterday as I was in 2/24. I've been told that it will ease up because as you lose the band loosens. I would just go with what your Dr says. Obviously you trusted him enough to do the surgery so he should know if 10 lbs a month is to much. I wouldn't stress to much over it. If your losing then you don't need more restriction. It's when you plateau, or stop (like me) that you need it.

Gee, I had thought about naming mine so long ago. and then forgot... I love all of these names. So now I'll have to put my thinking cap on again and try to come up with a good one. Right now I'm thinking maybe something like "Gurgles" because I gurgle everytime I take a drink! :-) Or maybe "Bandit"??? Any other suggestions
