Hey Redhead1 that's a scary story about the patient going to Mexico thinking she is set to go and to find out she has been shorted the equipment:mad: Well I just received my 4th fill on Monday I have a 10cc band and i am at 6.25 he feels we are getting close to the ultimate "sweet spot" I can only hope. My band feel tight right now and i haven't eaten since 1:00 this afternoon I am not hungry:thumbup: congrats on your 39 weight loss I will soon catch up with ya:tongue2:I will keep reading this site it is a great resource.

I work at WSU Mini University I am an Asst Teacher. My hubby is retired. I hope the biotin works for you.

Kim it's me again, I just wanted to say that I hope you have a enjoyable journey with Dr. Dock he has been a blessing in my life. Let me tell you the process on getting your first fill. The procedure is painless and quick and afterwords there's those 2days on liquids, 2days soft foods and then 0n the 5th day you start to reintroduce regular foods. I started eating light food today and I must say the last time I ate today was 1:00 and its now 9:30 and i am not hungry at all yeah!!! I have noticed sometimes my band is tight in the morning and at night after I work out. I work out in Huber Hts Ladies Premeire Fitness Gym I am addicted to Zumba hip hop I do weight training and walking. I was hoping to be further along than I am now but I feel I am playing fill catch up since Dr. Dock was in Iraq and from Jun-Aug I couldn't get a fill because Dr. Goldblatt was so overbooked. So I am taking each day in stride and I am trying to keep positive hopefully by my next appt on 18 Dec which is my one year anniversary to the day I would have dropped more pounds.

Hi Kim Yes I do take Biotin I've been on it for about 3mths and it has worked wonders for when my hair was thinning on top was my weak spot. I take the super biotin 5000 mg and I bought it at the vitamin store in the Fairfield Commons mall. I was losing my mind when I was losing my hair:frown: I even went as far as using the shampoo& conditioner. I was in a desperate state.

Kim when are you due for your fill?

Hopefully he knows what he is talking about. My first fill gave me no restriction at all and to be honest I have yet to see how this one is working. I am longing for the sweet spot. How often are the support meetings on the base I did have a flyer on it don't know where it is now.

Hey Jesse30 I work out at Premiere Ladies Fitness in Huber also I am very addicted to the Zumba classes they are so much fun.

Hi CoolCrystal your must be one of the lucky ones not losing hair good for you. I guess with this surgery it really does effect everyone different. How's your weight lost been?

Hi Kim I would like to chat and be buddies. No I won't be at the meeting today I have a meeting at work. But as far as your first fill it really isn't much to it I was nervous as well. Who performed your surgery? Dr Dock was mine I just received my 4th fill on Monday.

I feel your pain I also was banded in Dec 2007 and have only lost 30lbs. I just received my 4th fill yesterday I hope things start to turn around soon.

I experienced my hair thinning between the 3rd and 7th month after my surgery my surgeon recommended Biotin and I am glad to say that my hair is restored and full of volume. I was losing my mind with it being so thin and I regularly took my vitamins and watched my protein I think its one of those things that happen to some and not to others.

Hi Morgan52 look at tomorrow as the start of a new lifestyle change things will work out for you keep a positive mind state and the as always the good lord will be watching over you. I was some what sore the first few days after my surgery, I was banded last dec on a Tuesday and I was walking (slow) in the mall on that Sat gas might be a problem for a few days and the area where my port was located was the last to heal but overall you can be up and on your feet in a few days just take it easy and listen to your body for rest periods. Congratulations on deciding to take this journey and I am here for support.

Hi Jess30, I live in Huber Hts and I was banded last Dec at Wright Patterson AFB. I would like to keep in contact with the locals.
