This is my first time writting although I have been reading your questions and responses for awhile. I was banded 12-21-09. Lost 28 lbs the first 5 weeks. Have stayed the same the last 3. I was to have my first fill today and it was postponed due to the weather. I am totally bummed and just want to eat a huge peice of chocolate cake. I also have noticed that at 8 weeks alot of you are on your 2nd fill. I know everyone is different but like everyone else I have gone through this whole experience to lose weight, not stay the same. Sorry, I'm just having a "poor me" day. I have learned alot, Thanks, Leslie:mad:

Leslie, I am sorry for your disappointment. I hope they can get you in soon and that you get to restriction quickly.

Sorry to hear your first fill was canceled. Take heart, I am almost 4 months post op and only getting my second fill at the end of this month :-(

Hang in there. I know how tough it is waiting to get the help you need for your tool to work.

Leslie where are you ??? I tried calling my office today because i had a question but they were closed as well for weather

I would be CRAZY with frustration if that happened to me! Please skip the huge piece of chocolate cake cuz it will only further frustrate you after you have eaten it.

I know it is no consolation but, rarely do you get restriction on your first fill so ... getting your fill tomorrow won't make that big of a difference.

Hang in there, visit this forum a lot ... people here are WONDERFUL!!

Ahhh I was so scared last year that my surgery was going to be cancelled because of a snow storm. I told everyone if I had to drive a snowmobile I was going nto get there! Dang ND weather!

I'm in NJ. They actually called yesterday to let me know thet will be closed due to the weather.

My appointment last Friday was postponed...and I'm sure will be cancelled again (this Friday). Only...I need an unfill of a small amount. Can't eat much of anything and having reflux at night!

I'm here in Maryland and we are having one heck of a winter storm/blizzard...even pulled the plows off the roads earlier today.

That said--my dr. made me wait more than 6 weeks to heal and then only did once a month after that. It'll take time, but you'll get there. Good luck!

You are so allowed a poor me day for that!!!! I hope they get you in soon and you're that lucky one that gets great restriction on the first fill. You are doing great by the way, even without a fill.
