    Floro or Not

    I heard that there could be problems with diarrhea after a fluro fill. Has anyone had that problem? I am going in tomorrow and want to be prepared. I have to travel 5 hours to the Doctor and don;t want any troubles on the way home. Thanks :biggrin:

    1st fill have questions

    Hi Holly and Flydove, I can share my experience so far. banded June 6th lost 14 pounds in the first two weeks. Gained back 7 to 10 pounds before my first fill. First fill on July 28th, no restriction second fill Aug 5th slight restriction. I going in tomorrow for my third. I was not aware that it took many "tries" to find that sweet restriction. I was frustrated with myself too at first for gaining weight but my Doctor said the first 6 weeks are for healing not for lossing weight. You need time for the scar tissue to develope, holding the band in place. After your 1 fill you may or may not feel any restriction. It may take a few fills, every person is different. I had a time table in my mind of how much weight I was going to loss by a certain date. I had to give that up white I was waiting for the restriction. I am still hopeful that the band will work, I just have to give it more time, change my expectation. I wish you both the best, D

    Hello from Portland

    Hi Heather - I was banded on 6-6-07. Everthing is going well. Some shoulder pain. I have heard each day gets better. Hang in there, give your body time to heal. We are in this for the long haul, right? Let us know how you are doing.
