Hi Karen: Just checking if you still plan to get a fill on 10/14? Let me know...Amy

Hang in there Karen. It gets bettter. I remember everyone telling me that they were back to work in just a few days and feeling great. Well, it took me almost 2 months to feel like myself again. No one know I have had this surgery except my husband. Not even, my children ages 26 to 6. It's not like i'd die if anyone found out, I just figure it's nobody elses business. Anyway, try making hot chocolate with milk. It goes down easier because it is warm and you get some protein from the milk. So, this is your first fill? You are just beginning the journey. I think I have had 5 fills and this will be my second unfill. I have been at goal for nearly a year. It took me just over 2 years to reach goal but I'm glad it came off slow. I feel like a whole new person! I love not worrying about how much I weigh or how much to eat etc. The band kind of takes over and lets you know very firmly. I thought I would miss food, pop and all my old bad habits but it hasn't been so bad. I LOVE MY BAND. Where are you flying in from Karen. I am really familiar with the SouthWest Airlines Terminal at the San Diego Airport since that is how I usually fly. Keep me posted. I actually called to make the appointment for my fill this time. I got the number off the Obesity Control Center website (Contact Us part). I think they open at 9am so I'm right off the bat. I hope Dr. Martinez is there. He does such a wonderful job. Write soon, Amy

Like I said, I will already be there as of 10/10. We will be on vacation. My appointment is at 9am on Saturday the 14th so that my family would still do other things that day. The Trolley takes a few hours. We can just pick you up at the airport and my family will shop at the boarder while we taxi in. Maybe you could pay for the Taxi (I usually pay $10.00 both ways). I just prefer not to go across the boarder alone. I realize you don't know me at all, but I am a Mormon from Utah so a pretty safe bet =o) Let me know...Amy PS When were you banded? What fill number is this for you. How is it going living life with the band? I love mine, but it is a smidge to tight right now.

Hi Karen: I am scheduled for an unfill for the morning of the 14th. What time does your plane arrive? We could either do the trolley thing (I've done it many times) or my family could drive us down to the boarder and we could catch a taxi from there. We are going to be on vacation so we are already there with a rental car. Let me know...Amy in Utah Hey, what happen to the yahoo board. I went to get on and it had disappeared!
