Hey Genie. I am sorry it took me so long to answer. Email me at taystesco1@yahoo.com I am having a VERY hard time with this. I have had 3 fills.

You are way too hard on yourself. YOu are stunning!

I am going in for my second fill on the 10th of March and HOPING it does me some good.

LMAO! well you are still beautiful.

I hate you. It should not be legal to have those beautiful blue eyes AND amazing lashes!!! GORGEOUS!

Hi there. Sorry it has taken me so long to check in with you. I have been disappointed with this fill. I got 4 cc's and I feel nothing. I have no restriction and can eat anything. I did set my second appointment for March 10th though so hopefully that one will be the "one". How have you been doing?

My first fill has done nothing for me either. I am getting my second on the 10th of March.

Well to be honest my first fill did nothing. I have zero restriction and can eat anything in any quantity. I have my second fill on March 10th. I am going to tell him to fill it up. lol

got my first fill yesterday. Now on my 3 days of liquids.

They gave me 4 cc's. I hope I get some restriction from it. I am on liquids for 3 days! Grrrrrrrrrr I feel fine but my weight loss has stalled.

It is a lot harder this time. I have been constantly sucking on those Peppomint lifesavers. You have been really good! Good for you. I need to start moving my ass again. I can't wait to test this thing on Saturday.

I can't tell if I have restriction or not yet but I did get 4 cc.'s so hopefully when I can start eating Saturday I will. Just doing the liquid diet yesterday caused me to lose 2.5 lbs. so now I only need to lose 1 more lb. to get back to 16 lbs. lost.

How have you been doing?

Just got back tonight. He put 4 cc's in the band. Awesome. I have to be on liquids for 3 DAYS! UGH! Anyhow, the needle part was easy. It is big but doesn't hurt. It is like getting a blood draw but not even that bad. I was in and out in about 10 minutes. The only thing that sucks is that they charge you $100 to pick you up and take you to the OCC and back. I think...

You are still down 18 lbs. that is great. I bet you look awesome. Anyhow, I do like to work out but I like to eat even more. I will let you know how the fill goes. I am not too worried about the needle. Most people say it is painless.

How have you been? I am in the lowly depths of bandster hell and can not wait until my first fill.

I think we were messaging one another at the same time. Did you get my message?

YEAH! You are an official bandster? How do you feel? Congrats and I am so happy to hear that you are doing well.

That would be awesome if we went at the same time. Let me know when you set your appointment up.

Just a few more days. Awesome! I grew up in LBC. Keep us updated onj your progress.

Hi and welcome to the forum. There was another lady from TN. in Tijuana getting her lap band the same day as me. Have you checked out www.lapbandtalk.com? If you want to research Dr. Rodriguez I would check out that website. That is where I went to decide between Dr. Ortiz or Dr. Kuri. Personally, I highly recommend Dr. Ortiz. He is awesome. My good friend went to Dr. Kuri and she loved him

Welcome to the forum. You are going to love it here. There are so many supportive people.

Yeah I made mine for February 3rd at 10 am. I am looking forward to it but hate that I have to fly down there again.

Did you make your appointment for your first fill yet?

How are your incisions? Did the glue come off? Mine finally and did and I am really impressed with the scars so far. They are really faint and look great. How have you been?

Let us know how it went. I am going to the OCC on Feb. 3 for my first fill. Any words of advice?

Hi there. I would not touch the glue. It is supposed to fall off naturally. I still have a lot too and it is gross but I am thankful that it is winter and no one will see it. lol I have tried the yogurt. It is yummy. I also love those Campbell soup at hand. I like the cream of chicken. Have you tried those yet?
