Tomorrow I am hoping to get my first fill. When the Dr. put in my 2nd (long story) lap band he put a fill in at the same time and I have been doing okay. Lately I have been able to eat a lot more, so I am hoping a fill will do the trick.

I'm glad you remember me. You've done a great job!!!

My first doctor (I was his second patient ever) did not "attach" the band so I wasn't losing weight. Of course I wasn't - the band was there, but not connected. He just kept accusing me of not eating correctly and getting kinda testy about it. Finally my HUSBAND went with me and told the Dr. the same thing I had been saying and the Dr. listened to HIM. So the Dr. ordered a barium swallow and that is what we found out. So I got a second lap band. I guess the Dr. wouldn't listen to a woman and it took my husband getting involved to solve this. GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

I lost 60 pounds with the second lap band and was starting to eat more, so I thought a fill was in order. So now I go there and he pulls all the Fluid out, but the Water won't go down. Right now I have an empty band and am trying really hard not to eat all the things I couldn't before. I go in next week for another barium swallow and an endoscopy.

I still think the Dr. expected me to drink too much water too quickly. I'll let you know what happens.
