question for everyone, please answer

I have the ultasound to find my port and had the blind but I do not like the blind since it seems to hurt more since they have to push and twist the port more with the blind. -
Hello everyone!! I had surgery over a year ago and have lost 85 pounds since my surgery and three fills. I have moved down here and have no one who can support me to keep up the weight loss and can not find a doctor to do another fill here since I had my surgery in Dallas.

Your first fill is always scary but it is very easy and not much pain. YES you will need to go back to a soft diet for the first couple of days but that is all. The needle is not big and something to be scared of since you barely feel it. The most uncomfortable part of it the pushing on your port area. Be brave and don't be scared.

I really think the band was one of the best decisions thatI have ever made and it has made a huge difference in my life. I really think that your husband will be ever happy with it and feel a huge difference daily once the weight comes off. I would say that he may want to look into a doctor in the states instead over there in case of complications. Good luck

His office stated that since he did not do my surgery that he will not do the fill....need to find a doctor who will not hold the fact that he did not do the surgery to help me.
