Hi you guys, I'm going for my first fill today.....ya whooooo How about all of us meeting for lunch sometime next week. I could call Olive Garden and make a reservation. That may help those who are on their lunch hour. What is the best time for you guys that are working ? Oh....If anyone would like to go someplace else let me know.

Hi Wrkmnx6, From what I understand Dr.Tull has had the band surgery himself.I have heard that they are both good doctors. I myself had my surgery in Mexico by Dr.Ortiz. I am going to Dr. Rohrscheib in Clinton for my first fill tomorrow; then after that I will going to his office in Champain. Hope this info helps.

Water OR COKE? Eye Opening Information! This is really an eye opener.... Water or Coke? We all know that water is important but I've never seen it written down like this before. WATER 1. 75% of Americans are chronically dehydrated. 2. In 37% of Americans, the thirst mechanism is so weak that it is often mistaken for hunger. 3. Even MILD dehydration will slow down one's metabolism as much as 3%. 4. One glass of water will shut down midnight hunger pangs for almost 100% of the dieters studied in a University of Washington study. 5. Lack of water, the #1 trigger of daytime fatigue. 6. Preliminary research indicates that 8-10 glasses of water a day could significantly ease back and joint pain for up to 80% of sufferers. 7. A mere 2% drop in body water can trigger fuzzy short-term memory, trouble with basic math, and difficulty focusing on the computer screen or on a printed page. 8. Drinking 5 glasses of water daily decreases the risk of colon cancer by 45%, plus it can slash the risk of breast cancer by 79%, and one is 50% less likely to develop bladder cancer. 9. If you have chronic headaches or migraines, suck down a 20 oz bottle of water at the onset!!! It helps to lessen the pain (if you follow that with Gatorade or Pedialite it will help even more!!) And now for the properties of Coke: 1. In many states (in the USA ) the highway patrol carries two gallons of Coke in the truck to remove blood from the highway after a car accident. 2. You can put a T-bone steak in a bowl of Coke and it will be gone in two days. 3. To clean a toilet: Pour a can of Coca-Cola into the toilet bowl and let the "real thing" sit for one hour, then flush clean. The citric acid in Coke removes stains from porcelain and china. 4. To remove rust spots from chrome car bumpers: Rub the bumper with a rumpled-up piece of Reynolds Wrap aluminum foil dipped in Coca-Cola. 5. To clean corrosion from car battery terminals: Pour a can of Coca-Cola over the terminals to bubble away the corrosion. 6. To loosen a rusted bolt: Applying a cloth soaked in Coca-Cola to the rusted bolt for several minutes. 7. To bake a moist ham: Empty a can of Coca-Cola into the baking pan, wrap the ham in aluminum foil, and bake. Thirty minutes before the ham is finished, remove the foil, allowing the drippings to mix with the Coke for sumptuous brown gravy. 8. To remove grease from clothes: Empty a can of Coke into a load of greasy clothes, add detergent, and run through a regular cycle. The Coca-Cola will help loosen grease stains. 9. It will also clean road haze from your windshield. For Your Info: 1. The active ingredient in Coke is phosphoric acid. Its pH is 2.8. It will dissolve a nail in about 4 days. Phosphoric acid also leaches Calcium from bones and is a major contributor to the rising increase in osteoporosis. 2. To carry Coca-Cola syrup (the concentrate) the commercial truck must use the Hazardous material place cards reserved for highly corrosive materials. 3. The distributors of Coke have been using it to clean the engines of their trucks for about 20 years! Now the question is... Would you like a Coke or a glass of water? Have A Great Day and Share It With Others!

Hi Simmons, Just wondering if your fill restriction has gotton any better for you yet ?

thanks Autumn444 . I'll check them out. I just put out 12 bars of grated up Ivory soap in my flower garden . I'll let you know if that works.

Thanks Faithmd for the web site info. I check it out. Mr Airwayman......thanks for your advice but....the big bunnies have little ones, I could never hurt them.

Wow ....I'm really impressed with your tomatoe story Jack. I would like to try doing that this year. Did you use a lot of miracle grow of something ?

I have the same thing happening to me also. I go for the sugar free popsicles.

Hi Nannyjh, Are you restricted to much or just right ? Is this normal for you, or do you think the second fill just worked better ? I can't hardly wait for my first fill. I was doing a lot of yard work yesterday and forgot to eat all day. For dinner I eat a six inch tuna from subway. I never eat that much at one time....but I did last night. I wonder how Simmons is doing with her second fill ? I wonder if I should go on a liquid diet for a few days just in case.

You both are doing really good with your weight loss. I'm so glad I had a chance to talk to you guys about the fills. I'm not quite as nervous about getting my first fill now.

Yes please come to lunch with Jennie and I tomorrow. Yes simmons775 you are right there are others that have the band in the area. I know of someone in the same town as me, but she didnt know of this site until I told her about it.

I canceled my trip to Mexico for my first fill. I will be going to Dr.Rohrscheib on May 3rd instead. I'm a little unsettled about him doing the fill without fluo. I keep telling my self , other people have fills done all the time without fluo so it will be fine. I'm just a worry wort.

Carlene ...This sounds like it could be an HBO movie. I sure hope the Man above is looking out for your friend Mr. P. Thanks for sharing .

Who is this Mr. P ?

Crazycat ... banded 1-22-07 by Dr. Ortiz in mexico

Let me guess.....He's suspended until he does rehab ?

My proplem is I dont like milk. I havent found any shakes I like.

We will be thinking of you on Monday. Good luck . Hope everything turns out of for you.

Me to.....i'm addicted to this site also. I ca'nt walk past the computer with out checking the site out.

Six sounds good to me . I did get to chat a little last night .

ok I'm kinda new to this site, but why doesnt any one use the lbt chat room ?

I keep looking too but never see anyone in there. Why do'nt we see up a date and time , or a certain time every day to just talk there.

Here's my thought...... The band may be just a like breast implants......Does anyone really know how long they last.

Where is every body ? There has to be more then just the three of us.

I just put this out there to see what everyone else thinks. I never said it was true. :-)
