    5th Fill...to tight or tough it out??

    I think you are too tight but you should talk to Dr. I had this happen 2 weeks ago - was miserable for a week then got 0.2cc removed. I have lost 4 pounds since.
  6. I've also got the 14c band. i started to feel restriction on my 5th fill - 9cc total. I'm not to my "sweat spot" yet but have my 6th fill next week.
  7. I'm from north of Dayton and did all my research on Dr.s in this area. They all seemed fine but were 20-25K. So I found CWLC with a google search and they were 16K - i thought wow what a bargain! I attended a seminar and got a very good feeling from Dr.Mobley & his wife Tammy - both have the band and were very willing to stay after and discuss one on one. About 2 weeks after my surgery I ran across Dr. Curry's ad on this website. He had just dropped his price to $13K. I think both are very very good. My wife is also getting the band next month but is going with Dr.Curry primarily because of costs. The differences i think have to do with the size of practice and available resources. Dr. Curry is very well staffed. They have 2 dieticians, an exercise facility for patients and he does the first adjustment with a under floro. To me they seem top notch. CWLC is also great. They are smaller so if i need to change a fill appt. they always can get me in asap. The monthly support group is great and active. I don't think there is a wrong choice here. I would start by attending the free seminar for both. Hope this helps & good luck!
  8. I used Cincinnati Weight Loss Center. Dr Mobley and Dr. Watkins are very good. I too was self pay - CWLC is about $16K. Cincinnati Weight Loss Center - Home Another very good Dr. is Trace Curry. He has a bigger practice but is cheaper - about $13K. Lap Band Surgery Ohio :: Lap Band Doctor Good luck on your journey
  9. Lentils are also a great source of protein.
  10. My surgery was at 7:30 am and I was on my home at 10:00 am. I didn't have any pain just a sight soreness in certain positions. Everybody's experience is different.

    Strange sensation - anyone else?

    Me too - but between my right shoulder blade and spine. It's s tingling sensation that comes and goes. I'm only 2 months post-op but would say this sensation is getting less frequent - not everyday now. Did your Dr. give you any specific info on the cause?
