I had a fill... my third... and now I am frustrated. I eat and feel instantly full almost stuck... so I stop and I am happy. But about an hour or two later I am hungry again. My doctor says I am not suppose to snack. I am not losing like I should be... what am I doing wrong? I don't know how to figure this out. :redface:

My doc said it was one of those things that had to do with your comfort level, I was on my side by night 2. If it doesn't hurt you it won't hurt your band either.

What doctor do you plan on using? I had mine done by Dr. Blackstone in Scottsdale... she's amazing!

I am super emotional... it is like I have PMS all the time... my poor husband!

I get my fill on the 15th of July! I can't wait... I am hungry a lot and it seems like the food is just dropping into my stomach... I hope I get some restriction with the first fill... I am so nervous about that big needle! :thumbup:

Scottsdale Bariatric Center and Dr. Blackstone are wonderful! You can Google the Center and look at their website. Everyone in the office is so nice and they help you through everything! Good luck on your move!

I totally agree! She's just jealous and really has no idea what she is talking about. You have working hard at this! They always say the band is tool... you are workin' that tool and you should be proud!

Hi Everyone! I might be a little late to the party but I am here! My name is Kelly and I am a high school English teacher in Phoenix, AZ. I just married the man of my dreams on December 30th and was banded on the 5th of June. We have no kids but we have 4 4-legged babies... our dogs Skeeter and Harley and our cats Sergei and Pooh Bear. We are currently in the process of buying our first home and enjoying our summer vacation (we are both teachers). I love reading your posts! Thank you all for your inspiration and stories, they really keep me going!

We are going to the ballpark for the Diamondbacks game... I am a little concerned that I will be tempted by those huge hotdogs... but I know I can find something "chicken-like" to have instead! :biggrin2: Happy 4th of July!

I also feel like I am on a roller coaster... I have good and bad days... some times good and bad hours... my doctor explained to me that this is like a mourning period. We experience all the same emotions of loss... sadness, anger, etc... our bodies are going through so much I think there is no way to explain it all to our brains and accept it.

Thank you for your responses! It is nice to never feel alone! :biggrin2:

I am healing up nicely from my 6/5 banding but now the healing is soooooo ITCHY! Has anyone else had this problem? Any ideas on how I can make it better? It is driving me nuts!:redface:

I am hoping for a class like yours!

That is what I was thinkin'!
