Thank you for all of the info; I will be watching your success!!!! Take care- Leah

Hi- Watching your progress as I am trying to make my mind up to do this; scared becuase of all of the sliming and stuck stuff!!! You look like you are eating pretty well- have the urges to eat junk food been curbed? Have you gotten "stuck" ?? And if you have, is it as bad and painful as I am imagining, or is it tolerable? Thanks!! Leah

Hi- I really want to get this surgery but my husband, and now my primary care doctor are opposed to me getting it done in Mexico. They are concerned that if something goes wrong I won't be able to get care. Any advice? Thanks!!

Thanks! You look great!!!

Hi, I am considering the procedure- why did you have to have the unfill?? You are doing great. Thanks- Leah

Hi- Thanks for the response! How many times were you filled and why were you unfilled and did you go back to the OCC? Are you able to eat now? Have you had any problems with the band? You sound a lot like me- I was never huge but have gained a lot of weight recently. Sorry for all of the questions!! Curoius about your amazing success! Thanks- Leah

Wow- I am impressed by your weight loss!! I am seriously considering the procedure- do you have any regrets? Have you had problems with the PB'ing? (sounds terrible and the reason I am scared). Thanks- Leah

Hi- Is it a requirement that I take a companion with me? I would like to but could come sooner if my husband stayed home with my son. Thanks! Leah

Hi- Have you had any problems with the band? You were able to stick to the liquid diet? Thanks!! Leah

Hi- I am new and considering the band- why did you have to get the unfill? Are you going to the OCC for all fills and unfills? Thanks- Leah

Thanks!! I am about your size- not real big- I just don't feel comfortable and have gained a lot of weight in the last 5 years. I was really big with both pregnancies- 100lbs plus gained- and lost it all. Now I am gaining it all back and I just can't fight this battle anymore; I am so tired of it. I need help and hope this is a solution. My mother is really upset that I am considering it; I don't think she understands as she has always been very thin. My husband is supportive though, and will most likely make the trip with me. Thanks for all of your info!! You seem to be doing great! Leah =D>

Hi- I am considering the surgery- have pretty much made my mind up that this is the only thing that can help me. I am worried about not being able to stick to the post op diet- 21 days is a long time!!! Are you feeling better? Thanks- Leah

Thanks for the reply! Was it painful? Can you feel the band in your stomach? Thanks again- Leah

Hi- This is my first entry as I am really considering the procedure and trying to find out as much as I can. Did you feel the urge to eat solid food before your fill? I am so afraid that I would not be able to stick to it because I haven't been able to stick with any diet. I'm also getting a lot of negativity from my mother (although I am 45) about this- she just doesn't understand that nothing else has worked for me and I am unhappy. Thank you! Leah (fattie)
