  1. laadeedaa, I was just in TJ this past Saturday for my first fill...What a great experience. Walked across the border; got a cab $5 to OCC. The fill took about fifteen minutes; the needle is large , but I did not feel a thing...I hate needles... I drank 8 oz of water and was on my way back to the border.
  2. Hello all, I was banded at OCC on Friday July 18. That makes me 11 days out and 10 days left on liquids . I am having this troubling pain in my stomach. My stomach pouch cramps and feels dry. Is this normal feeling??? I am drinking my atleast 8 glasses of water a day and consuming about 500 - 700 colories a day... Thanks in advance for your input... J
