They do the fills blind. The girl is really good but they are very cautious only going 1 cc at a time

I have had 3 fills. First at occ 3 cc's. Second and third fill in calgary 1 cc each time. I dont seem to have restriction and my weight loss is stalled. just wondering what amount of fill other people had.

I believe they want you to lose about 5 percent of your weight. Your Bmi has alot to do with what preop diet they start you ona nd when. I did 2 weeks of preop liquid diet. Also if your on liquids try and find a good tasting protein shake. Also take advantage of all the free salads and veggies you can

Dr So let me back on them after 3 months

Have Some patience it will come. I found after my surgery i retained alot of fluids. Your body is in shock with all the changes you are putting it through. You are doing wonderful things for your body and the number on the scale isnt the end all.

Lets see how many smiley faces and other dumb stuff you post when youve slipped your band and wasted 10 thousand dollars

Ive stayed at the Marriot twice and i think it is pretty decent. The staff attend to almost everything you neeed. They are familiar with the occ and what the patients need to eat. There is only a couple of english tv stations but there is free internet. I would stay there again in a heartbeat

I would not go to any other doctor then Dr. Ortiz. His rates are reasonable and he is considered to be the top lapband doctor in the world

Take the loan. Seeing that your half way there will be more motivation to save the rest

i have 4 cc's in my 11 cc band and have never had any trouble with grilled chicken and we eat it about 3 times a week. The chicken we buy cooks up really moist so i dont know if that has anything to do with it.

You will get there and the extra hard work it takes will just make it that much sweeter when you reach your goal weight

Personally i think pop stars and fashion magazines to influence women to much. I myself love a woman with a little bit of meat on her and some curves, Some of them women in magagizines look like there ribs and spine are going to bust through there skin.

i am looking into maybe doing some hypnosis

How many people have sought counselling for the mental part of there weight loss journey. I am finding i am really struggling with being hungry all the time. I just had my second fill and i am eating less and i know its not a physical hunger.

I went through something like that. I think i felt i had gone without for so long that i was gonna eat everything in the first couple of weeks back on solids. Try and have a little will power and you will snap out of it.

Wait times for border crossings
DwayneH replied to Goofy219's topic in Gastric Band Support & Discussion
I was there august 30 th and sat at the border for almost 2.5 hours. i got to the airport at 12:35 for for a 1:25 flight and almost missed my flight. When i had surgery june 28 th we crossed the border in 15 minutes at about 7:20 am -
The first few days after starting on solids again i ate uncontrollably also. I think your mind just plays tricks on you because you ahvent ate solid food in so long. Just try your best and you will get it under control

Going for second fill on Thursday. First fill was 3 cc's and felt restriction for a little bit. hopefully second fill lasts a little longer

I am struggling with something, I could use input.
DwayneH replied to lovesMaui's topic in Gastric Band Support & Discussion
I think it is bad to drink with a meal because it washes the food right threw the band right away. the food only sits there for a minute or 2 but that tells the nerve endings to tell your brain that your starting to get full. Thats my take on it anyways -
Congratulations that is awesome
