I found it weird that he ask me how much I wanted it filled . yes I admit it must be hard to find exactly where the port center is but hey, he's the one with experience ! He did phone me today and asked how i am, which is great, at least he cares. He said he will send me for an ultrasound to locate the port, which I thought was super fab. Good Doctor just needs more experience.

I went for a fill yesterday and it seemed like the doc had no idea if he filled the port or not ! OMG! he asked me how much to fill i needed and my mind was going a million miles a minute. I let him proceed. What was I thinking, I should have walked out at that second ! I asked him to put 2 cc in, just from reading about my fellow banders. So He said he FOUND THE SPOT and put 2 cc in. I don't feel any restriction at all ! I thought they used a special needle to put the saline in but he used a regular needle. OMG ! , again. I don't know what to do. Should I go back and get more of a fill( if I got one ) OMG , again ! I could cry

Thanks for the post . I have heard about drinking something warm 1st, but I was told not to drink 1hr before or after, is this true 4 you to ?

I was wondering what RESTRICTION really is ? What should it feel like? I already come to the conclusion the I should no longer eat red meat because it always gets STUCK ! From what I read it normal. Most meats are hard to eat , and i'll tell you I am not a veg. So if anyone can tell me what Restriction feels like that would really help. I had trouble last weak with pbing and went on a liquids for 5 days, it seemed to help. I do not think that I will be eating meat for awhile. P.S. I tried Tomatoe Pie, loved it ! it went down smooth ! So if you can tell me what I should expect with my 1st fill please do, and what restriction should feel like. Thx

I had no problem with my band until 2 weeks ago. I can not eat any type of meat, actually i can't eat anything that i can chew. I called OCC they said stick to liquids for 5 days. Anyone out there with the same issue. I was going to go get my first fill last week but I cancelled due to this not eating solids. Help

To all my fellow banders. I would like to know how much of a fill you received with your 11cc bands. Please let me know

Great, Yes it is true ! in BC you can apply it to your taxes. + the $51 a day. WOW, gotta love BC.

I believe they don't do it there anymore. That's where I wanted to go. they did not give a reason why, just said they don't do it there anymore.

Have any canadians been able to write off their procedure from the OCC?

It helps if you just avoid meal time . Do NOT join your family during meal times. Enter the Kitchen as little as possible ! I just finished my 21 days of liquid diet and honestly I really got used to it and did not have a hunger feeling at all after the 1st week. Avoid the situation, is my best solution for you. Wishing you WILLPOWER !! Take care

I have finished my 21 days of liquid diet on March 1st 2010. I was losing 1/2 pound to 1 pound a day. Now, I haven't lost a thing ? I am eating very little ( 1000 calories a day ) and nothing,nada! Can anyone help me ? I really don't get what is happening ? Is it because I am not on liquids anymore? Help

Hmmm ... I thought if the Band SLIPS The repare it or replace it ?? Is that not TRUE ?? Wouldn't that make it a faulty band ?
