    Tampa Doctor?

    Dr Jessee is my surgeon. I don't know about the spider incision. I had my surgery in 2008 and a repair in 2011. I find her staff helpful and Very friendly. All around good experience with them. I didn't have to do a supervised diet, however. I had years of back up medical records! Lost 100 lbs after surgery. Gained back 12 (which happens) and I'm working on shedding that.

    Stretched pouch

    ahb08 when did 175 lbs become a size 12? The last time I was at my ideal weight (centuries ago) I just managed at size 12 at 130 lbs. I wore a size 14 at weight 150 lbs. Have women's sizes changed their numbers but not their inches?
  5. when was your last fill? I had back pain problems 2 months ago (surg 8/08), same type pain, same area. Come to find that I had been "overfilled" accidentally because the band hadn't been completely emptied the fill before. What we thought was 6.6 ml was 7.3! I had to have an unfill and felt better in a day.

    Does anyone feel this??

    My surgeon told me that it would take 2-3 months for my body to feel "normal" The muscles have been outraged by being cut and they will give you hitches for weeks. I didn't have trouble with gas but the upper chest and shoulders hurt for some time because the surgeory requires your abdomen being inflated. I have trouble with gas now, it's how my body has chosen to react to my eating too fast or too big. I think I may be reaching my mazimum fill point since I can feel even the smallest abount. Last fill was .2cc's and I am still getting used to it 3 weeks later. So just keep on truckin' along. It all takes time. alfuso
