Hi Everyone,

I had surgery on September 25, 2006. The recovery went well. I am feeling great. I have already had 2 fills. One of my fills I got a minimal amount...my next one I received 1.44 cc and I am really starting to see and feel results.

Love to hear from you all! :clap2:

Thank you for replying to me. I need all the luck I can get. Wow all the way from Australia.

Last evening about 2:20 AM my sugar fell very low, I had to have something to bring the sugar back up. This is positive, with the band, I have to reduce my insulin, but until we figure out what the correct dose will be, I am at wits end. So far, I have gotten sick from the band about 3 times with rice, grapes and bologna. I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE! OH WELL.

If you have any incentive or anything positive to keep me going I would love to hear it.

Hi Lynn, welcome to LBT! You will find the band is a wonderful, yet very fickle tool. I cannot anything like bologna or hotdogs. No bread. Sometimes I can eat rice, and sometimes not. The best thing to do when you get ready to eat is take your first bite very cautiously. Make it very small, chew it to mush then wait a couple of minutes to make sure it is going down ok before continuing to eat.
