Hi Marcar. Nothing wrong with eating the head and giving the rest away. Glad you didn't eat the rest and give the head away. LOL

Andreal: You are not a twit. I have never had one, but I think it is like an X Ray and they watch the Fluid to see if you have a leak in the band or tubing. It also helps them find a port that may be difficult. Hope this helps until someone with more knowledge gets back to you. Welcome ton bandster land. Doddie

OHHH...that makes sense. I wasn't sure if it was something they do if they fill you to the full 10 cc's and you still aren't restricted. I'm at 8.5 right now and going back tonight for my 5th fill. I'm pretty restricted in the AM, but by noon I can eat almost anything and WAY more than a one cup serving. I have a tiny bit of trouble with certain breads, but still think I am eating more than I should be able to. It seems most people are between 8 and 9 cc's and are at their "sweet spot", but I don't feel like I am near mine yet.

Oh Green, I am so hoping that your depression dosn't last long. Not having your voice would really suck. I am sending your BIG (((hugs))) :smile2:

I am confident that yoour ENT Doc will get to the bottom of it.

In regard to the asthma... you mentioned that you take inhalers...

After you inhale one or both of your puffers do you RINSE out your mouth with Water and SPIT it all out???

This is very important as the inhalers contain steroids, if this medication gets on your vocal cords it can cause hoarseness.. I know this because it happened to my Mom. I also have asthma too.

I dont' mean to sound like a 'know it all' but I thought it was worth mentioning.

Donna D:

How are you doing since your slight de-fill? Are you back on the W/L band wagon???

I had my 2nd fluro fill yest. I have very mixed feelings... :)

I finally found out what is wrong with my voice. I don't have asthma. I have a tumor on my right vocal cord. This has not only ruined my voice but is impeding my breathing. Now I am waiting - with great anxiety!!! - for an appointment with a surgeon at Mt. Sinaii for a biopsy to be done. And for the removal of the horrid thing of course. Yipes!

How is your band doing, Peaches? Is is still losing fill?

How are you doing, Donna D?

Hi Lori

I was trying to find your phone number to tell you I wasn't going to the lunch today. I finally found it and left you a message. I see you online so I guess you didn't go either. How are you?

Thanks, loriely. I have an appointment with a surgeon for next Monday at 9 AM for the biopsy. And my nice doc has given me a prescription of Ativan in order to calm me down.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
