Hey Poma,

I live in So Cal also, Inland Empire though. Don't get frustrated with slow weight loss, as long as its a loss and not a gain your moving in the right direction :smile: I think the biggest thing helping me to lose is my excersizing, I joined curves and I walk on my treadmill at home.

I'd like to know how your fill went, I am scheduled for the 28th and I am looking forward to it, yet i am also nervous about it as well. I just don't know what to expect, everyones MD's seem to do things a little bit differently.

I had my first fill today and it was pretty quick and easy. Apparently my doc had put 2 cc's when I had my surgery. The whole thing was done in literally a few minutes. My doctor had me hunch over and he found my port. I felt a small prick and he pulled out the Fluid that was in and then added 2 more cc's to bring me to a total of 4 cc's. It was cool seeing it done and the Fluid in my band was blue!!!

It really wasn't bad at all and I was surprised at how quick and easy it was.

Hi all.. so glad there is this room. I am 29 alomost 30 no kids and looking for bandster friends. I have not yet had the operation yet. I went in and everything has been sent to INC. So its a waiting game untill I find out. I am excited but also freaking about the idea of surgery. I know I need to do something drastic but I dont think the full bypass is for me. Anyway does anyone have any advice for pre op and post?

Dont give up on me....

Glad to hear the fill went good!

My belching is already getting a lot better!!! Nothing is more embarrassing then loud stomach noises followed by a belch during a staff meeting! lol!

Pick Me! Pick Me! I'm 29 years old, no children and I too live in southern Cali - well central Cali - Depends on who you ask. I live in Kern County about 2 hrs north of LA.

I was banded on 2/13/09. So just 11 days before you. I've only lost 20 lbs so far and am a little frustrated as well. I have had one fill - I think I'm ready for another - but my Doc wouldn't give me one when I went in this past weekend.

I would LOVE to befriend you - I want someone to share this process with too. :wub:

Hey Sara, who's your MD? I had surgery with Dr. Krahn. He also see's patients in the Riverside/Corona area.

I am a self-pay heading down to Mexico.. Ole!

Dr. Ortiz will be my surgeon. But I am looking for Dr.'s here in the IE for geographic conveniences.

Hey there,

I just got my first fill on monday and I'm a bit upset. I'm getting used to the whole chewing really good so that the food doesn't get stuck in my chest thing, but I still don't have restriction. At least I don't feel like I do. I think I should give it a chance but I am feeling like regretting getting the band instead of the gastric because of the maintanence after. When is a good time for the next fill? Should I give it a chance to set in a few weeks first?

And yes, I belch too. Lol

Hi! I'm 35, single, no kids.... I was banded on 3/30! I can't wait to hear how your first fill goes!

I'm belching soooo much since my surgery! eek! Did this happen to you? I'm hoping it goes away soon!

Hi from Arizona!

Hey Poma,

My doc told me to come back in a week or two if I still felt hungry all the time. I'm gonna wait until mid next week and if I'm still hungry I'll go in for another fill.

I say wait it out a bit and see how you feel. If you're still hungry then go for the fill.

[POMA 3]

Thank you. I think I will do that.
