Hi: Sorry, its been a good while since your reply...they put my lapband forum talk in the junkmail part of my email folder, and I rarely look in it. Now, I will check it regularly. I do need a fill, but my doc says that I don't and to wait. I'm getting discouraged also, but will ask for a fill next month again. Yes, there are several foods that "go through fast", and I stay hungry also. I have to do better. Good luck, jlg1019

I explained to another nice person that my forum responses were put in my junkmail folder, and I didn't know about them. Sorry, I will check it regularly. Good to here from a fellow PCH employee. I do trust my Doctor...he's the best. I just get discouraged with the slow weight loss, but he gives me pep talks every month. Thanks for responding. jlg1019

I had my first fill 2 days ago. Just hurt for the initial needle stick. He injected 2cc then had me drink a cup of Water. Everything went fine. I don't really feel any restriction when eating but do seem to feel less hungry. He gave me a prescription for Vit B12 injections. I only got that because I asked for it. He said I didn't really need it but I just wanted to see if there would be a change in my energy.

I;m confused, why won't he give you a fill? there are fill centers everywhere if he won't oblige. What is the reason he won't?

He just tells me that its not time since I lost as least six last month. Maybe this month since I have done awful. I feel that I have wasted a month of "maybe" losing!jlg1019

For those of you feelong depressed because you are waiting for a fill...I KNOW....I need one too....I have been fighting hunger all week and I even gained some weight back this week...I did better before the surgery!

I must admit, I was sorta told to stay in bed a get over my psoriasis outbreak this week...so, I definitely didn't move as much and thought about food/tv commercials way toooooo much!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
