Can you tell me how the webinar works i sign up but missed it did not know what to do to watch it. Can anyone tell me please. Iam signed in for thursday.

Just about every day i PB i eat slow and chew alot so i hope everthing is ok. I have only had 1 fill and that was only 1.8. Anyone have any ideas?

I noticed that we are both from the KC area, just wondering about something. I received a card that said I can purchase childrens meals, have you had any issues becouse you are not under 12? Just curious. Im not anywhere near eating solid foods yet.

I am from KC area to i used my card at Zio's in Independence and had a childs meal. that is the first time i used it. Good Luck to you.

Hi there. I had my first fill a few weeks ago and followed Dolittle's posting which worked out great.

I have an 11cc band as well. My first fill was 4ccs and the only difference I felt was uncomfortable pain in my chest if I ate to big a bite of food, or something dry. I go for a second fill the beginning of October. Don't worry about how much you should get. If your doing this under fluro, the doctor will be able to tell how the liquid they make you swallow is going through your system. Try not to stress about it. Discuss your concerns with your doctor and I'm sure he/she will be able to advise you. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Red,

Thank You for the info. I read what Dolittle wrote i will read it again . Thanks again Deb

Iam having my first fill on the 28th and i need some help. Do you go on a empty tummy or can you eat lite in the morrning i go in the afternoon? I think my band is 11cc so iam not sure how much i should be getting. I am getting my fill here where i live. Wish i was going to Occ. Hope some one out there can help.

Thanks Deb :help:

Here is a great video from Dr. Acosta explaining why a fill under fluoroscopy is beneficial and how to tell if you have good restriction:

Lori, thank you four putting that web site on here. I won't be able to come to Occ four my first fill, and was glad to watch this i hope they do the 3 b's here where i am going. They do the fluoroscopy or i would not go there. Deb

:lb24: You look great.

I have AT&T and i added the international calling to my plan b-4 i went to Occ the calls are a little cheeper AT&T told me that you get charged if your phone is on and it rings even if you don't answer. My sister used hers to talk to her husband she did the international thing to she has AT&T to. Hope this helps.

OK I finally got a chance to post! I can only download pics at work so it took a bit.

I look like death warmed over i've been working sooo many hours so ignore the bags and dark circles!

Have a great day!!!

Shelby, WTG you look great. :lb10:

Hello,

I'am a newbie will be in TJ 8/12 banding on 8/13 ready and happy to get a new me. Any one else banding then?

Hi TwistedSister (love your forum name )

Our instructions stated to "arrive fasting on day of pre-ops/surgery (8-hour fast)". So I suppose if you were scheduled to get to the clinic at 8am, you could theoretically eat up until 12 midnight. We didn't eat the night before. The travel day was filled with a lot of drama (including luggage that didn't make it with us), and we were glad to get to the hotel and dive into our beds. All the best to you, and good luck on 8/13!!

Thanks my sister calls me that.

I'am having pre-ops the day of surgery. I guess my question should be can you have all foods or do you keep eating the pre-diet to the last day?

Where are you being banded at? That will depend on whether or not you can eat the night before surgery.

Iam going to Dr. O in TJ have been doing the pre diet for a week now, so i guess it should not matter if i eat the last day, would be nice to have a taco.

Hello, I have been reading many of the posts here and I want to say thank you for all of the wonderful information. I am having surgery on 8/13, I am very excited and very nervous .

I have been having some bloating on the pre op diet, does anyone have any idea what might be the cause?

I have seen some post that describe people eating solid meals the night before surgery, will I be able to eat the night before surgery?

Any info or advice would be appreciated.
