Can any of you send me a messaga on how to get the tickerfactory link on this page? For some reason when I go to cut and paste nothing shows up but the numbers and letters in that box that they tell you to cut. Anybody got any help?

I too have slowed on the weight loss. Constipation sucks as well. I get a fill on 1/4/08. I think that's what I need right now but I only lost 10 pounds after my first fill. We can do this gang. I hear that there is a sweet spot that is just the right amount for each persons band fill. I hope we all find that perfect spot soon. Good luck!

I was banded on Sept. 20th in Richmond, Va. I have lost 28 pounds. I get a band file on Jan. 4th. Weightloss has been slow but for the first time in years I have not gained over the holidays. Great job yall.

Can I join? I'm down 28 pounds. My second fill is on 01/04/08. You all are doing great. 267/239/167 Banded 08/20/07

You all are doing wonderful. I just joined this site today. It is wonderful to have someone to talk to about this. I had no clue as to how I was doing. Some of you are really taking off the weight. I have to do something to get myself into the gym. I have had only 1 fill. I want something to eat...like all the time. Christmas Holiday has scheduling tight. I can't get in to get a fill until 1/4/08. I am a little scared because it did hurt a bit, but I know I need to get it done. Great Job yall!!! PS How or what do you cut to get the ticker to get on the bottom of your emails? When you do it does the numbers show up in the pre post box or the actual ticker pic? 267/239/167 Banded 8/20/07

I also work in the medical field. It wouldn't seem a hard thing to adjust the band yourself, However....I wouldn't do it. To many possibilties of things going wrong (infection, leaks, ect.) You have had a successful process thus far. Don't do anything to mess that up. In the end the money would have been worth the weightloss. God Bless.

I have had only 1 band fill so far. I had big fears about it. My doctors do not numb you. I felt like I was going to pass out because of my nerves when he put the needle in. It was a bit of a pinch but it didn't last long. I will do better next week when I go for my 2nd fill. You will do ok, just know that it will not take that long.

Guess I should find out what size band I have in huh:>). I don't think I have a big one in but I will ask at my next appointment. I am scheduled for a band fill on 01/04/08. Thanks

:confused:My surgery date was 9/20/07. I had my first band fill on 10/22/07. I have lost on 10 pounds since my fill. At first I belived that the band was too tight because I was having a very hard time getting solids in. After about two weeks things have greatly changed. I am eating more that the 4oz that my doctor says I should be eating. With 5cc in my band I don't feel like I have much more space to fill in the band for later. Can anyone help?
