  3. i live in jersey as well and i think you would love my doctor,him and his staff are very caring,his name is jonathan reich and he is in manahawkin,in ocean county.his number is(609)978-8900 ext:2217
  4. i know i should only eat about a cup of food,but i am still hungry after that,so i have been eating when hungry.most of the time its actual hunger so i give in,i go for my 3rd fill the 24th,is anyone else like this??
  5. i take phsyc meds and i am doing just fine,thoe side effects you are talking about are just possibilities,it does not mean you will have them

  10. why am i still hungry after 2nd fill? is this normal
  11. once the doc found the middle of the port,it wasnt bad.but when he jabbed me with the needle i almost kicked him!!i still feel like i have no restriction.i did lose another pound however,but i assume that was from fluids only that day
  12. i wouldnt worry about 1 1/2 lbs.your weight will fluctuate due to Water retention,now if you gained 5 lbs then i would worry.
