I don't need a fill right now. Last one done in March and it is still going strong, but, my doctor has put a halt to all adjustments this month do to pollen. He said that is has been causing to much fluctuation with tightness. WOW anyone elses doctor doing the same thing??

Just curious?

That's very interesting! He must have had some bad experiences with patients who react to seasonal allergens in ways that make them swell up or something. I'll ask my doctor about that at my next fill appointment; I'll be curious to know if that's a commonly held opinion.

Let me know what your doctor says Alexandra, I too wonder about this. They have a new nurse doing some of the fills and I thought she may have been tightening people too much or something. I have seasonal allergies, but, haven't noticed tightness do to that myself. Some days I feel tighter for no reason at all, maybe it is pollen who knows

Very interesting. I usually have pretty bad allergies and I recently had a small fill without any side effects.

I would think Dr. Ponce would definitely know what he's talking about. He's up there as far as doctor's who have done the most bands. He's been doing them since the FDA trials. I am going to him in a few weeks for the second opinion on my slipped band...and mainly just to get his viewpoint on some of my band issues.

As for fluctuations -- I have so many -- that it wouldn't surprise me a bit if pollen is one of them. (Although isn't the worst of the pollen over -- at least it is here in Atlanta which is not that far from Chattanooga?)

Hey dishdiva,

yes, for the most part the pollen has died down. I originally posted that post in early spring. It's hard to tell lol. Yes, I hope Dr. Ponce can help you. I really like him, and he is one of the first doctors to perform the lapband, so he has a lot of experience. I hope it has not slipped, keep us posted

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
