Hi everyone Im shannon. I had the lapband done two years ago. Im a nurse and worked in a hospital untill about three months ago (went to home health). while working @ the hospital, there were lots of us who had lapbands.we started doing our own fills. i ended up having too much saline in my port and couldn't swallow my zoloft pill & my morning coffee wouldn't go down.:thumbup: I ended up getting a coworker to take out 1.5cc of saline about 7 months ago. I just put a 0.5cc fill in today. I have a 4cc band. I have gained back 20 lbs. so, i now pray that there is still some hope for me, that i can reach my goal wt of 145 lbs. I started @ 247 lbs and now weigh 200 lbs.
