  1. Thanks for the info. I talked to Dr So last night and he said the same thing. He also said that it could be a sign of band slippage. I wish the fill centers did the fills with fluorescope. He wants me to get a total unfill and then come to Mexico in 4 to 5 weeks to have them check it out. I live in Florida so that's a long way to go. We have a doctor here that will do it, but it's really expensive. I'm not sure what to do, but I will try and get unfilled on Monday. It's going to be a long weekend because I've only gotten about 9 hours of sleep in 4 days. When I lay down everything comes up. New Dawn
  2. I got a fill in November and had the acid reflux so bad that they unfilled for a couple of weeks. Now, three months later I'm miserable with it again. Went to my primary care doctor and got a prescription for nexium. Three days have gone by and still miserable. I don't know if it has anything to do with the band or not. Probably. New Dawn
  3. Cassie, You did a great job on Oprah. I think all of us wish that we had the opportunity when we were your age. I'm just jealous that you have so many years of being thin ahead of you. I was 53 when I had my surgery. Dawn
  4. Hi Minnie, I didn't go to TJ for my fill. I ended up getting it here last Wednesday. I didn't feel a thing. They told me that they would be taping it for training purposes. I'll have to tell you about it on the phone. It was pretty funny. I have sent mine in to insurance also. I mailed it twice and they say that they've never received it. So I faxed it. We'll see what happens, but it sure would be nice if they would reimburse us for some of it anyway. I call you soon. Dawn
  5. Matt, I have my first adjustment next week and am pretty nervous about it. How was the actually procedure? It must not have been bad because you would have said. I think I'm more nervous about the adjustment then I was the surgery.
  6. Your so lucky that you are only having to wait for a few weeks. I had to wait 2 1/2 months because of social commitments. If really want this surgery, the best thing to do is just think positive and don't look back. Think of how great you're going to feel and look. It's really a wonderful journey to the new you. Just hold on and go for it. You're going to love it. New Dawn
  7. Hi, Would you mind giving me the emergency phone number. I have an appointment in St Pete in a couple of weeks and now I'm really nervous. If not, I'll be sure to ask them for a number. My appointment it on Friday afternoon. Maybe that's not too smart. Dawn
  8. Hi, I haven't had my first fill and and now I'm very nervous. I have an appointment at the St Pete office in 2 weeks. How many others have had this problem where they need an emergency room? How come you have had so many fills? Dr Ortiz said that you should only need 2-3. Dawn
  9. Hi Dallas, I met you in the waiting room at the OCC. I was leaving and you were checking in. I'm glad to hear that you are doing so wonderful. I am, too. I hate it say how easy this has been because I don't know what's around the corner, but I've not been hungry at all. Did you buy some neat stuff in TJ? Are you going back there for a fill? I'm looking for somebody to go back with around Sept 28th. Dawn
  10. Hi Peggy, Sorry that you had to change your date, especially since we live so close. I'm already down about 25 pounds and not hungry. Which I am so grateful for. Have you gone to TJ for all of your fills. I hear that the US Fill Center in St Pete is good, but I still think that I need to go back to TJ for them. Maybe you could answer a question for me. Do we always have to crush our medication? Forever? Thanks, Dawn
  11. Hi, Are you dreading going back to work tomorrow? I am. Anyway, what all did you send you insurance company? I'm going to try to file also. It sure would help wouldn't it? Good luck tomorrow and don't over do it. Dawn
  12. Mikey, I was just banded 6 days ago. Just think positive. There is nothing really to be nervous about. It's a great journey that we are all beginning. I haven't been hungry at all. It's so weird because I don't think that I have ever said that. Have a great trip and let us know how you are doing. Dawn
  13. I'm thinking of going to the OCC for my first fill on September 28th. There may be a couple more of us also. Where are you coming from? I'm in Florida. I'd be flying in at probably 11:00 a.m. and leaving the 29th. Dawn
  14. Hi, I'm leaving tomorrow too. See you at the airport. Can't wait to meet you. We're going to do great. Dawn
