:tongue_smilie: Hello I was just banded in edmunds washington feb-25-2009. Things are going well I have lost 19 pounds since surgery and I am getting a fill on march 25. I am going back to Washington for my fill. I just wanted to get a shout out to the alaska banders and see how people are doing and if they feel alone... I feel like the only person in the world with lap band. People really do not know how to respond to me when I say I have lap band. It has been a good experience and I learn something new about my lap band every day. write back alaska people....

I had a fill today and i have had to be very close to the bathroom all day. i wonder if the stuff they had me drink to do the fill with x-ray made me have diarhhea all day.. i don't know if that is what you are experiencing. but that is what is happening to me.
