You both are doing really good with your weight loss. I'm so glad I had a chance to talk to you guys about the fills. I'm not quite as nervous about getting my first fill now.

How are you doing simmons after fill . I am restricted now can't eat very much at a time . How are you doing Crazy cat .

Hi Nannyjh,

Are you restricted to much or just right ? Is this normal for you, or do you think the second fill just worked better ?

I can't hardly wait for my first fill. I was doing a lot of yard work yesterday and forgot to eat all day. For dinner I eat a six inch tuna from subway. I never eat that much at one time....but I did last night.

I wonder how Simmons is doing with her second fill ?

I wonder if I should go on a liquid diet for a few days just in case.

I would just tell the doctor about you don't feel restricted . I think I had a good fill this time and now its doing what it is to . I don't know about Simmons . Hope she gets as good results as I do . As I know she has the same in hers now as I do .

Hey nannyjh and crazycat! Well nannyjh, I wish I could say the same for myself, but I really can't tell the difference with 1.3 vs 2.0 ccs of restriction. I'm not sure if I'm not restricted enough or the fact that I got my period the day after my fill and I get ravenous each and every time that I get it. I haven't lost anymore weight. Still stuck. I'm so happy for you that you aren't hungry. I hope it works for me soon. :phanvan I'll keep you posted!:help:

Hi!! I am new to this site. I am SERIUOSLY thinking about doing a Lap Band procedure. I am wondering who the doctors are arond this area that do it. I have found out that my insurance will cover it if I jump through a few hoops. I am to the point that I would jump through those hoops even if they were on fire. Could any of you point me in the right direction...I've read a few of your posts but I'm wondering if you know of ANY other docs around our area (Champaign).

Thanks so very much!!!!!!

Amy

I'm assuming these are the only 2 in our are then? I did some research and have only found these two gentlemen myself. I am hoping they aren't only the ONLY ones but the BEST ones. Thanks so much.

Congrats on the lose. I am so frustrated right now with my weight. I weigh more now then I did the day my 4th son was born. ARGH. I have been trying to watch what I eat and I have been working out 5 to 6 days a week FAITHFULLY for the last 5 months. I've lost 6 lbs. I would really like to see more of a result. My Mom, sis and my bro are all overweight. I just think some of my weight is in my genes. How frustrating...

Hi Wrkmnx6,

From what I understand Dr.Tull has had the band surgery himself.I have heard that they are both good doctors. I myself had my surgery in Mexico by Dr.Ortiz. I am going to Dr. Rohrscheib in Clinton for my first fill tomorrow; then after that I will going to his office in Champain. Hope this info helps.

Hey fellow champaign lapbanders. I have been banded since august 2006. Glad to see some locals. I am from the champaign area. Dr R is great! I haven't had any problems with any of my fills. I have never had a fluro. I have 3.2 cc.s in a 4 cc. band. there are different size bands. some have a 10 cc band so it would take longer for them to feel a difference once they have had their fills. Would be great to meet everyone. We should start a support group.
