Cloe I missed you! Wow what a scarry experience. I happy to hear you are feeling better. Take care.

Has anyone who was banded in PV gone there for a fill? I will be there for a long vacation and wanting to get a fill there, any advice???

oh Neenagh, I was going to send them to protect your car!!!! LOL Not to rip the chocolate from your hand. Sorry for the misunderstanding, that was a good laugh though!!!!

I met a women at TLBC from Sudbury and her doc was going to do her fills. You are located hours away from many large cities I am sure you CAN find someone. And Delta Dawn had her's in Montreal that may be an option. Which cities are you willing to travel to?

Oh neenagh that bites the big one. I know people and I think I will have to send you an escort!!!!! But remember food does not fix any problems. Now, step away from the chocolate.

Sherri I wouldn't move back to Alberta so quick. I am sure if you "look" and call and talk to people you will find someone who will do one. The Toronto Lap Band Center gives out a dvd to train doctors of patients who live too far. Maybe one of those docs would do your fill. I live between thunder bay and Winnipeg and on this site got the number of a doc in Wpg who did my second fill (not the most tactful guy, but he did it) and it cost me $75.00 I flew to Toronto for my first fill ,that cost $300 plus . Good luck. Keeping asking Docs in the area, I bet you'll find someone close.

Congrats Doriana Happy to hear all is well. I used childrens chewable gravol and tyelnol they were so tasty when I was not able to eat. I'd eat my tylenol first and then Oval (for gas) and then the childrens cherry flavored gravol for dessert!!! What you are feeling now will go away won't be long. The worst is over (the waiting!!).

Oh how did you sleep last nite? I couldn't sleep thinking of you on that air mattress. Should I start a collection for a new bed??

Mandy that is so awesome. I am so happy for you!!!!!!!

Ah the sunsreturn banded!! Congrats. It sounds like it was uneventful. Awesome.

Oh Mandi I was hoping I was telling you something that was going to help. I am sad for you now. Have you tried white noise?? I have a fan going in bedroom to block out all the little house noises and traffic. I really want to help you. Another thing I do is repeat a prayer over and over again or a sentance like "my mind is clear" Tonite I will repeat "I hope Mandi is sleeping." Maybe you need a back rub while you are lying in bed, this always help my kids. Ask Dan if he'll give you a non-sexual back rub. (my husband believes if I allow him to touch me, even accidentally in bed, in means, you know) Sending you sleepy vibes.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~You are getting sleepy......ZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

I'm so jealous "no sweat" Ha! You sound so great. I hope it is the "one" , for you.

:notagree Mandi I used to drink tons of diet Coke everyday and tossed and turned every nite. Now I 've stopped, since my surgery(huge accomplishment for me) I notice if I have coffee passed one pm I can't fall asleep. Are you having caffeine late in the day or evening that could be making you stay up? As for the Natural Sleep aid try in an hour or so before you want to go to sleep, sometimes herbal products work over time. Good luck, I love sleeping and I need lots of sleep, so wishing you many sleepful nites!!!:notagree :notagree :notagree :flock:

LOL, It's way funnier NOW!

Hey Mandi Which forum was she on? Sorry I 'm a few days behind, we were going to winnipeg, so my husband decided we'd go for a couple of extra days so he could go to the Grey Cup. No, I stayed in a mall while he was at the game then off to a warm hotel room for this chick and I watched desperate housewives. My husband was at the game and didn't even know the final score!!!!HMMM Slimmed in a restaurant could have been embarrasing but the room was empty cause eveyone was watching the game in the bar. Fuuuun Stuff.

Hi Doriana I actually got the isopro in GNC in Toronto. I did not like it at all. I mixed it with apple juice and I struggled to drink it. It cost $55.00 for this huge container and I used maybe 4 servings. I drank Powerade and Propel and I found they helped me so I did get all goofy from not eatting. I won't kid you I was hungry.

Hi Dawn Good luck with that !!!

You look grest Neenagh!!! I bet you look even better with a head!!!LOL

I think the stilletos would hurt your butt if you sat on them. OUCH!!!! And by the way thats bad for your posture.

No way!!! Did you pass on my story about the sweat??!!! I am sure she'd get a kick out of that, eh?:faint:

Mandi Ok my pants drag on the ground. Or I wear taller shoes. I just never really invested too much into a pair of pants to want to shorten them. But I definetly do find petite are just a tad too short.

Mandi I couldn't find a real tape measure so I used a six inch ruler and a piece of string (looked real goofy!!) My inseam is 30 inches and I buy normal length pants.

Hey Mandi Well I'd like to give the guy a break. At least he is willing to do a fill. I think if he would have tortured me then missed, I would have been bitter. But I will tell TLBC and probably visit them for the next fill just to make sure . Maybe.....I'd go see him again after he pratices a bit more....on someone else.

Thanks everyone. All though I though he didn't seem to know what he was doing. I have "felt" the effects. I slimed a piece of toast this morning. I have choked and slimed before but not like this morning. I was grateful I was by myself! WOW. I guess I will have to slow down and be more careful of my food choice cause it was quite unpleasant. I am thinking my band is not broken. YEAH!!!

Just making an observation!! Sorry if that is a sore spot.
