Because I have a massive bruise and a huge knot in the muscle where she accessed my port . I have been banded for almost 5 years and have had my band adjusted several times and never had any problems. Plus it hasn't felt any tighter this time. And I can always feel the difference

Had a .4 fill added to my band almost a week ago and think she missed my port and put the saline in my muscle. Anyone else ever dealt with this?

to the fellow banders being banded this week. good luck. I cant believe that it is almost here. Wednesday is my day!!

i pre mix and keep in the fridge. the only is that mine gets thicker the longer that it sits on the fridge.

i was told that as long as I am using skim milk (still in pre-op) I am free to mix my protein shakes with milk.

mbwalker... i just clicked on someones ticker and it sent me to a site where you can set up your own and then it gives a code to copy and paste to your profile info. dont know if thats the right/easiest way but worked for me. lol

i am also on the 25th. and cant wait. it seems so far away.

good luck with your journey. my surgery is set for the 25th

oh my goodness!! I was so about to post something very similar to this. I was wondering if I was the only one. I've been on the liquid diet one week and still have this problem. I kinda glad to know that I am not the only but hate that others are suffering along with me. kwim??

I have been on my diet since the 10th. I started a little early. My b day was on the 12th and I knew that the 12th would be a bad day to start so I just went for it on the 10th. and you?

I almost used this company for my surgery but in the end had a family member come through for me. I understand your concern and was not comfortable with "the no patient left behind" program. 1. they could not tell me if I had to put in 50% or 75% of the total cost before the would fund the rest. 2. I would rather my money sit somewhere I know that it is safe. I am not comfortable with giving them that much money before "they fund my surgery" 3. They wanted an automatic transfer from my checking every month in a set amount. again not comfortable giving them that info either. In the end I was not comfortable with the company so chose to use care credit. I felt better that my surgeons office recommended them and have experience working with them. They wouldn't say anything negative about " the no patient left behind" but their lack of words made we realize that they weren't right for me. hope that helps

okay as far as shakes go I guess. I am the type of person that couldn't do the slim shake diet because I couldn't stand the taste of the chalky shakes. lol but these really aren't too bad. they are thick. I am just glad that i get to mix them with skim milk instead of water. I have the chocolate and strawberry. So far only tried the chocolate.
