Thanks so Much Maddysgram, and Carolinagirl for the Cards, yours is on the way!! Sorry for the late response, I have been through Hell and Back!! I have been having problems swallowing, I have 10cc band and 7cc Fluid in my band and my doctor does not get back until January 20th and I can't eat much or swallow much without constant vomiting. I hope you understand you cards are on the way, but please respond to let me know that you have received this!!

Happy New Year and I Love All My Lap Band Friends you all encourage me to be great as I encourgae you to remain great!!!

i have made some great friends on this forum. with their help/support, i find i am not alone in my journey. i give back what i get from them (to them). i am blessed.

thanks shr, for being a good friend..ps, i dont have a fill so i dont know except what i read, it maybe that you are too tight...please sip sip sip so you dont get dehydrated. and def see dr as soon as you can (or he can get back)...much love.

The first thing I asked my doctor when he did my last fill, will there be someone available if the fill is too tight during the holidays and he said NO. So I cancelled the fill until after the holidays. These are good questions to ask. YOU and the doctor determine the fills to a certain degree. I am real close to not being able to get any more fills. My doctor is old school and wants all his patients to lose about 1.5-2 pounds per week and when you hit this and are able to closely maintain it, NO more Fills. He wants all of us to control what we eat between fills as a learning pattern for weight control. He wants the band to be used but the rest is up to me.

Best wishes, Happy New Year, and Keep the Faith.

Sorry to hear you're going through this. No one to fill in for your Dr?, Jan 20th seems too long to suffer.

Thoughts & prayers with you, like CG said, don't get dehydrated.

Take care GF!
