Lisa--

I was filled the first time May 8th....he is aggressive so he filled me 2.4cc. Then yesterday they only removed 1.8cc (quite common to lose the first 2 fills they said) and put in 3cc....couldn't handle it and was 0.1cc was removed after going back. This helped...but oh today don't even want to LOOK at food honestly!!

Telly--

Thank you so much!! I am over in Orange City....(near Deland, Deltona, Debary, Sanford area).

I will be fine I'm sure...now I just need to let the swelling go down!! I am in NO RUSH to eat again....the first fill I snuck some mushies in after a day....not this time!! I was truly surprised that chewables did that!!!

I don't hurt now....a little snore I guess!?!? I just kept prayingthat I wouldn't slip my band!!! I just hadn't lost in 2 wks....stayed the same....so wanted the extra boost!! Boy did I get it...2lbs in 1 day!! HA!!!

Thanks for caring!!

God Bless,

MElody

Hey Florida! I live 15 miles north of the rat...Orlando. I fly out tomorrow morning for my surgery with Dr. Ortiz. I am going to use the wwwfillusa.com that Dr. Ortiz is connected with. They have a fill Dr. in Clermont, only 24 miles from me.

Hi! I was banded by Dr. Kim a year ago in May and have lost 75 lbs, 40 to go! I live in Longwood, just north of Orlando. Did the group ever go on a cruise..?That sounds like fun. Debbie

Debby,

I believe the cruise is in 2007??????

Is Dr. Kim in Celebration or does he have an office closer to Longwood???

Good job on the weight loss...just think you've lost almost twice as much as you have to go!!! WOW!!!!!

God Bless,

How's things going with Dr. Grossbards office? I am trying to get an appt. to see him next week in Clermont at the fill center. I love their website. www.fillcentersusa.com

Any info on them is greatly appreciated. I've read the previous posts in this thread.

Nice Melody!!!

That's wonderful! I am scheduled for next Wednesday for the fill center. I'm excited and nervous all at the same time. I hope my port isn't flipped. Can't feel it anymore but.. we'll see.

Hi Everyone ! It's good to hear how well you're all doing. Well now I'm excited and nervous too,because I'm getting banded on 1st August !!

Dalton never got back to me, so now I'm heading to Mexico, to Dr. Rumbault. Has anyone heard of Sabrina Freeman in Clermont, for aftercare ? Only she seems to be the closest to me ~ I'm in Kissimmee. Any other ideas on where to look for fills ? A doctor in Melbourne turned me down as he "doesn't care for foreign bands " !! Would really appreciate any help you can give me ~ thanks, Jarquin.

Hi fellow Florida, I just was banded this thursday the 13th at Dr. Ortiz in Mexico. I met two nurses, one getting the band and one training with Dr. Romeriz for fills. They live in Ormand Beach and she is going to do housecalls! I have contact info so let me know. Eve

I live in Ormond Beach and was banded by Dr. Ortiz on July 13th I am just ten days old. I have had the most wonderful experience and don't regret for one minute that I went to Mexico for the procedure. I have lost a total of 18 pounds including the pre-op wieght loss and could'nt be more happy. The whole liquid diet thing is getting quite old though. Well I hope this message reaches you in good health and spirits. Best of luck

Scott:)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
