  1. OK , where did my weight thingy go ???

  2. Hello, I alway from the beginning had restriction. I was told to have a fillbetween 6 - 8 weeks later , so eventually did. I finally recieved 4cc in a 11cc band. I have the a bit more restriction which actually is very annoying because sometimes its hard to eat anything. I really do not need anymore fills so far or did I need the 1st. I believe some people have had 0 fills because of their restriction from the beginning. I guess its luck or maybe it on those people that need to loose more weight. I does make me wonder though way the initial restriction for some.If anyone knows way please let me know. Sp for anyone that has just gotten the Band done and you feel restriction, no fill is necessary until u have no restriction. Ok I will stop Babbling now. Ii hope this helps some

  15. Hey hon , I just I would let you know that tummy tuck is covered by bc med. I had it done 4-5 yrs back. Just go to your Dr. and so him a irratated skin under your tummy skin. Hope this helps.
  16. I haven't had a fill and that happens to me all the time.
  17. I haven't had a fill yet but I've been banded in feb. I cannot eat any type of meat unless it can melt in my mouth! Lunch meat I can handle. Breads, pasta, really anything dry I have a hard time eating it . And at this point, I second guess anything in put in my mouth because if I know I shouldn't be eating it and have a chance of it getting stuck and going through that pain ,, hmm.. not worth it ! I am very care full in avoiding foods that will hurt me, even uncooked veggies,I can't do. I love the band but sometimes I get SO fustrated because I can't really eat much of anything, Small bites or anything! Now, I wonder if I should even attempt a fill .
  18. Try not to focus on your intake of food 24/7 it gets exhausting !! Try not to get bored and keep busy. It's always in the back of my mind . All i can say is keep busy and when u think your hungry , grab an apple ! lol !
  19. good for you ! it takes time and a little patients on all the new foods you will be able to eat. I had surgery in feb. and i do not regret it at all ! If i only had a dr. that new how to fill me , now that would be great !

  20. I have Dr. Manchanda but I was hoping for someone in Vancouver. Any info please send it my way. thx

So, today was going to be my 1st fill ( almost 2 months late).I was SO SO excited ! guess what ... he couldn't find the port ! ARG !! WHAT ! He said it has moved . So , now I am going to wait until I go to Vancouver and go see Dr . Manchanda, Thanks to sabrina , forwarding his info . WHY , OH , WHY ? I can feel the port , so i really do not understand . O.K. I will stop venting ... Oh, I just want a FILL..........
