Great new avatar Greg!

Welcome! There are a couple of different threads on fills. If you go to the search button and enter fills, it should take you to them. Each doctor is different as to the amount of fill and when they fill. I have had two fills, I didn't feel any restriction with the first one, the second is showing me some. Neither one of my fills hurt at all, although I did get a brusie with each of them.

Donali - those are funny, but were you looking in my window?

Melissa - Sorry about your Grandmother. I can't add anything else to what everyone has already said. Good luck, and keep us posted.

Congrats on the loss and the pants! I know you feel great! Wear that big smile on your face, you deserve it!

By now your surgery sould be over, so welcome to bandland! Let us know how you are doing when you can.

Way to go Sammy! You are on your way!

Last week kind of screwed me up with the weighing, I had to go to the Doctor so I weighted on Thurs, which I lost 4 pounds, then I was messing with the Ticker thing this weekend, so I weighed then and lost one more pound, today I guess I will count the 5 pounds. That brings me up to the 50 pounds, and tomorrow I will have my band for 3 months. Since I posted it this weekend, y'all know that already! lol Anyway, at least now I will be back on track with the weighing on Monday's. Congrats to all you losers! That sounds bad, let me say congrats to all of you that lost this week!

Wishing you lots of luck! Let us know how you are doing when you can.

Beautiful pictures! You are a very pretty lady, watch out now, those guys on the board will be your best friends! lol

That's a good idea Leatha, better be safe than sorry. I am sure everything is fine, but it will take the worry off your shoulders, and ours!

Congrats, and welcome to bandland! You are off to a great start!

Thank you Nancy! I have been working on it, I just hope I keep losing. All of you gals have been a great inspiration to me, you keep me on my toes! You have done a great job too, and you still are.

Leatha - How are you doing now? Are you still having problems?

I'm glad to hear you are doing better. Please keep us posted!

Pat - Maybe he didn't miss your port after all! Please be careful getting your next fill. He should pull out the saline first and see if any is in there.

Paula - You look so beautiful! Now we all understand why your DH kept looking at you!

What an experience! I'm glad you are doing better now. Thanks for sharing that though, at least we all learn from others experiences.

Welcome to bandland! I'm glad you finally found us!
