I'm a newbie..

Thanks for the info about the band not being filled at surgery

I know that's right. That is expensive.

Yes I only had to pay $1360 with the other doctor. We drove to Dallas on Thursday meet with doctor he did surgery Friday we drove back home right after I left hospital.

So you had to pay $9000 total?

Well ladies I am getting ready to head to Dr. Hollis office to get my fill. I am so excited and hungry cause I can only have liquids until the fill lol I will report back later to let you all know how it went.

Ok let is know !!!

If I'm understanding this correctly, you stated that you didn't get filled during surgery? I'm just curious because I did. I believe they gave me 1 or 2cc.

I do owe you an apology. I made an mistake. I guess I was so out of it I thought I heard him say he didn't fill it. I had 3cc's in it and they tried to add 2 more but it made me to tight so I ended up getting just .5 cc's. I go back in 4 weeks to get another adjustment.

Ok girls I have a question. I purchase Welchs grape juice because on the package it said no added sugar.......why I look at the ingridiants and it says 45 grams. I read more and its saying its the natural fruit sugars. Is that bad? Should I not drink it?

This is only my opinion, but I think you should not drink it. I think your beverages are supposed to be calorie free except for skim milk. If you really want the juice, or since it is already in the house maybe add a small splash of it to your water for a little flavor. I like to add about two tablespoons of orange juice to a big glass of ice water. Also know I have not been banded yet. I'm a wanna be

Dr. Hollis suggested that I purchase lite cranberry juice. I did for a while and stuck to drinking tea and coffee.
