((( Francesca ))) im so deeply sorry!

hello Paul! welcome to the site!

the abortion counts as surgery?

What kind of complications did you encounter with the band? i didn't have any complications! What kind of side effects do you deal with on a regular basis? no side effects What side effects did you have that went away with time? i didn't have any side effects Would you do the operation again even with the problems encountered? in a heartbeat!

1)How much of a fill you all got the first visit? i had 2 cc the day of surgery and another 2 one month later (in 10 cc band) 2)What size and brand of band? my band is the French one by HÉLIOSCOPIE and holds 10 cc 3)Did your Dr. use floro or not for this first visit? No as he says its not necessary (to me at least) 4)How much did you get on your second fill? i didn't go yet for a 2nd fill (or lets say better 3rd) 5)How long before you NEEDED (not got it, but needed it) your second fill? before 2 months i did the 1st fill and i don't feel that i need yet fill.. I'm finally getting a fill on the 4th! Good Luck!

Good Luck! we will wait for you in Bandlandia wish ya the best! lovz

thank you all soo much

btw i keep a PB diary!!.. like: 20 Oct: food: calamar reason: talkin when i was eating 12 Sept: food: pasta reason: eating too fast just in order to learn what i did wrong :)

Hi Christina! we all have to learn the rules again n again! even if we are old or new.. for example i still learn that WHEN WE TALK WE DONT EAT! i had to learn this also the hard way (PB) ..only a bite of calamar in a restaurant.. and i didn't want to pause gossiping ... God punished me and i had to visit the ladys room and stay there for 30 min.. uf uf
