I just got back from florida and i went from there on a cruise i didnt have any prob. but i have been told some people do.

I have 5cc's in mine and i think maybe 1cc more or so. Some days its good and some days i feel i need some more.

I had my band done on the 13th of Nov. I have lost 42 pounds. I had a small fall back also i had all my fluid taken out on my 3rd fill due to me getting sick soooo much. I did start again with my fills (I have 4cc in my 10c band) so i hope everything is back on track!

I had stitches. had pain in my port area only!

I had my surgery done at kansas city and good luck to you!!!!

I will do my best to answere them.

I lost 22 pounds in my 4 wk mark!:thumbup:

Hi im from the show me state also. :thumbup:

Yes i had all of my fluid taken out because i had gotten a fill and got sick sooo much it irritated my stomach and my Dr. removed all my fluid to let my stomach rest. I go back April the 6th (I have to wait 4 wks) im so worried about gainning myself i have lost 42 pounds since Nov. the 13th of o8. :cursing:

Its been great! lost 42 pounds since surgery! And how about you?

I went to Dr. Augustin in Kansas City Mo. 816-404-1000 I had my surgery in Nov. of 08 he is great and great nurses also. I have lost 42 pounds since the 13th of Nov. im so happy!!!!!

I had my 3rd fill March 9th i was already at 5cc in my 10 cc band and my Dr. put in 1 more cc and i did the drink test and it was to tight. He took out .50 out and i thought i was o.k. went home and couldnt keep anything down not even my spit! Next day he took out the rest of my fill which set me back to the 5cc i had before. I went home and that night i started to vomit :eek:again and couldnt keep anything down. So again went back for the third time in one week and my Dr. took out ALL of my 5cc out of my band to let my stomach rest. I hope with me being as stricked as i can can keep the 42 pounds that i had already lost off until April 6th when i have to start over with my fills.

Yes i do i have the PPO and it took me 10 months it wasnt easy but dont give up!:tongue2:

I was wandering about green tea, if its o.k. to drink or will it stretch my stomach?

I had my 2nd fill the 26th of Jan. im up to 5 cc in my 10 cc band :thumbup:i was a little tight the first day but the next day was fine. I have lost 32 pounds since my surgery on the 13th of nov. 2008 im so happy!!!!!

I had my first fill on the 15th of dec. I have a time trying to get my water in, im scared if i drink my water to fast or to much at a time i will stretch my pouch out!:tongue_smilie:

I put mine in water so the flavor is not so strong. I drink one a day it takes me all day for one i add alittle at a time.:tongue_smilie:

Hi i'm going on my 5th week out sorry i'm not 4 months but i have lost 22 pounds already and loving it! your doing great also i see. keep up the good work:biggrin::ohmy:

My dr. gives the numming shot also it was the only thing that hurt just for a few seconds and when he put in the needle for the fluid i didnt feel anything it was great!:smile2:

I had my first fill on the 15th of dec. My dr. put in 4cc and had me drink a 6oz. glass of water didnt work and could hold down the water so he removed 1cc. and im fine its so weird what 1cc will do.:biggrin: I have lost 22 pounds since my surgery on the 13th on nov.:smile2:
