So I have had a really bad year. House related: new water tank , new dryer, new fridge, new stove. But hey I can use the oven now.

My daughter totaled her car. My husband had someone slam into the back end of his truck while pulling out of parking lot. I rear ended a lady who just stopped because across that was closed was open and she wanted to go that way. So I hit right into her.

So when it was time for my Lapband I can promise you I was scared to death.

So that went well and am on 8 weeks and lost 45 pounds.

I now have pain in my arm and shoulder with numb fingers. So MRI showed bulging disc c7/8 Doc wants me to c a surgeon for his opinion. He says to be comfortable with the surgeon do if I need him I need to make sure I like him. Good advice I think.

He put me on neurotin, ultran, and flexeeul.

Now I get to go they this. I am going back to Lapband PA for a fill -2nd one- but she told me she will never do 2 fills in a row. Might have to give her a neck punch. Hahaha. Jk.

I am hungry about 3 hours after eating. I have 2ccs in my band. Ok vets/----should I be getting a second fill?

it sounds like it to me. i don't understand the part about 2 fills in a row. everytime i see my doctor we discuss whether a fill is needed or not. the whole idea is to have the band filled until you feel satiated between meals. and it takes less food to fill that requirement.

3 hours after eating is about right. You have lost very good, but if YOU feel that it is time for a fill, maybe it is! My own surgeon knows me well enough to know that I can't do more than the fill have already. When did you have your last fill? I had to wait at least 1 month between them until I was happy and my weightloss was acceptable. If I had lost about 5 lbs in a month, I was not allowed a fill. Best wishes, you need a hug, too((((hug)))). Karen...aka..kll724

Punch marianne right in the jugular lol. You are doing great!!
