I can never thank Jazzy Jude enough for all of her help and love during these 6 months I was banded on the 12th of Jan 2009 with 65 pounds lost I hope to loose another 40 before Oct when I go on my cursie but we will have to see how things go I try not to push it the weight will come off as long as Im doing my part Thanks to all of you for all your help You been great Janet

I would call OCC and ask them they told me to wait 4 weeks but everybodys different so I would call them Let us know how your doing

Glad your doing well take care and let us know how things go "GREAT LOSS ON PRE-OP" WHY TO GO

Just had my 2 fill on friday the 24th of april and boy has things changed for me I have never had anything get stuck untill today boy does that hurt I need to slow down and chew better Is it best to go on liquids for a couple of days after getting something stuck or just eat if you feel like it

what is a pouch test?

when are you going back to tj for your 2nd fill

> I'm so glad to see you on Here I have gas all the time don't know why, but how are you doing after your first fill ? I like to watch and hear from you because we have the same size band and we were banded around the sametime.

why to go good luck to you I got my first fill today

I live in arizona so we drove over to OCC we got there at 9:30 my appointment was at 11:00 am They took me right away and we drove back across to the US got back to san diego before 11 I was done and back across before my appointment time It was great!!!!!!! Never had a problem with them

I just had my first fill at OCC Everything went great. It was alot better then I thought I don't like needles and was real nerves about this hole thing but It just felt like a pinch Being able to see the port and the band was the greatest sure makes you feel better when you can see it for you self

Great Job I just love to read your posted You give me alot of hope Thanks for sharing I need to read about all The hard work people do I must work with this band Its just a tool

I have had lower back pain that goes all the way down my legs ever since I was banded on Jan 12 ,2009 hopefully It will get better soon
