  1. I have had a series of fills all resulting in a unfil. I have a 4cc band that was to tight at surgery date and almost had to be removed after 14 days of not being able tokeep anything down and daily IV's. It has been a year and I am back at 1cc again due to a unfil. The highest I have ever been is 1.7cc. which resulted in a diliation and had to have a complete unfil. I worked my way back to 1.7 two weeks ago and yep here we go again. I do fine the first 5 days after my fills. No problems. The fifth or sixth day my chest hurts, I cant keep water down and I have to get an unfil. Any thoughts as to why it takes so long for me to react or what I could be doing wrong. I have been at the same weight since September and this is getting very frustrating.

    Lettuce

    Lettuce has always been easy for me as long as it is crisp. Just remember to chew. Also it does not have much nutrition or protein but I was like you I craved lettuce.

    What to do with all of our old clothing??

    I just took 110 pieces of clothes to a large size resale shop in Dallas. They are pretty picky as what they take. However, they have a good selection and found myself wanting tp buy clothes from them while losing. There are many resale shops around. However ones that focus on large sizes will give you a better deal.

    Has Anyone Had Dr.frank Felts???

    He did my surgery in April. He was great. Great follow-up even on Easter Sunday. He was very encouraging and supportive. I would highly recommend him and his team
  5. I used AIGB in Dallas and my surgeon was Dr. Felts. AIGB can be found at LAP-BAND Weight Loss Surgery | True Results. I was very impressed with the customer service. I never felt like a number. I was called every two -three days before surgery and after surgery was contacted twice by the surgeon Dr. felts to check up on me. There are several Doctors in the practice and I am sure you will find one you like. They offer seminars weekly. I went to three different seminars with them and chose my surgeon based on the impression I got from their individual presentations at the seminars. I felt Dr. Felts personality was much like my own. Good luck

    Banded in 14 Days!

    I had my surgery on 4-3-2007 with Dr. Felts. He was absolutley wonderful. I had a few complications but he called daily sometime several times a day to check on me. AIGB was also wonderful. My band was to tight so I had to go there every other day for IV fluids. I cannot say enough about how wonderful Dr. Felts was you will love him. I am now down about 20 lbs in 4 weeks. I will not have a fill till probably end of June since my band was tight. Good luck to you.
