Now Steph and kdlee...lets not argue over WV and VA or I will send you both to your rooms for time out!!! She did say "travel a few hrs.,"however", but we're all friends here. And remember...we're all HUNGREY!!

Hi....quess what...had a fill finally...2cc ( I have the largest band). It is definitely working....feel much fuller. Hope I can do better. Thanks for your concern! I got a little discouraged, but hope I'll have good news this month.jlg1019

HI, Sorry...I've had my hands full.....and quess what...I had my first fill and its working....now I know what it feels like once again to be full. It turns out that I have the largest band, so I had 2cc. I had to go to Day Surgery...it was hard to find...at a slant, I think. Wish me luck. jlg1019:rolleyes:

Hi, I think that everyone is forgetting about the woman that carried him for 9 months and gave birth to him and loved him and his father. She was caucasion...white, so I look at him as best of both worlds..he is our new color, not white not black, but just a presidential nominee and democratic winner.

He just tells me that its not time since I lost as least six last month. Maybe this month since I have done awful. I feel that I have wasted a month of "maybe" losing!jlg1019

Thanks for the quick reply...I hope that I get a fill soon to see if it will help. jlg1019

Hi...yes, I thought it was common practice too, but my doctor says that as long as I lose at least 6 lbs. per month...no fill. I just don't know what to think. jlg1019

Hi from Princeton, WV. I had my surgery March 27,2008 at PCH hospital. I was their first and do not regret it at all. I have lost 35 lbs., but feel like I could have done a lot better. I have had no fills, as my Doc says as long as I lose around 6lbs per month....no fills. Its not as easy and quick as I thought and I still have to drum up my own willpower to do most of it. But, if I were not losing this little bit a month, I'd be gaining it per month. Good luck!!! I love southern WV with all of its lovely trails and parks to walk in. jlg1019

Hi Paula08, What a thing to go through! I think that they should have waited after your "unfill" for a day or two before they took your band out. Remember how hard you worked to lose that weight, and a lot of it was your will to do it. The band only helped you feel fuller. Don't give up, because I know exactly how you feel, and I would be scared too but I want you to show them all and lose more weight. Go to your doctor once a month anyway, and weigh in...that helps me. Good luck, jlg1019

HI CRYSTAL 115, GOOD LUCK! I haven't had a fill yet and its been 3 months...let me know how it goes. jlg1019

Hi, since I didn't know about my replies, its now 6-24. I still haven't had a fill...now you can tell me how it was if you don't mind. I need one very badly...feel hungrey and out of control. jlg1019

I thought for sure that I would'nt have to wait so long on a fill, but I also trust my doc....I have to try harder!!!jlg1019

Hey...I love Marshall! Good luck to you. jlg1019

Hey, sorry for the long wait..responses were put in my junk mail...I agree with you...I went through a lot to have it put in, and I want to take every advantage of the operation. Thanks for your perspective!jlg1019
