So post ops - I need help/advise - I don't stay full/satisfied for longer than 2 hours so I'm wanting to eat all the time - how did you get thru the bandster hell till you got your first fill and is 3 months the norm to wait for the first one or is The Doc just twisted?

"Normal" is whatever is normal for your doc. Allergen (Lap-Band brand) recommend 4-6 weeks for first fill. Dr. Baggs is the most agressive of the Richmond docs; almost all of his patients get a fill at 6 weeks (unless they don't need one - he relies on Robin for this determination). Basically, All I had to do was say that I could eat over a cup at a time, and she'd OK me for a fill - but then I was losing steady, too. Now I just email Dr. B and he sets me up - they trust me to know when I need one, and they know that I do not EVER want to be too tight! Stories I have gotten on here scare me.

RE: different threads - Heather tried that, did not work. The support and comradarie here are the best anywhere on this site and I'd not want to give that up! But here is a suggestion: if you create a yahoo group, you can all email each other all the time & read what each other is saying, just like on here. Pat & I are on a yahoo group for the Sonoma County WLS support group

Jane you are doing so great! You inspire me and I sure can't wait till my first fill - I'm scheduled for 12/15. - when I tried to get my ID card they asked what model band did I have - AP Standard? I dunno - I will have to ask The Doc when I see him next month.

You haven't PM'd me with your address so I can send you $$ for the book!

Tamra- My daycare is in Oakley which is a samll town sandwiched inbetween Antioch and Brentwood. I have openings right now, but If you want to try doing play dates with my boys to start her out that might be a better transition. Then if you and your daughter become comfortable with my boys and me then we can work somthing out. I always do trial periods because it is important to me that everyone (parent and child) is comfortable you know?

Liz- I did get the link to the Richmond binder, and I also some how Googled my way into the Fremont one too. I know that with all that information plus what I am reading here will prob. make me bored but call me crazy, I am excited to be bored you know!
