Hey Girl. This has happened to me just like you described it, big blob of Slim with food particles in it. This has happened to me a couple of times and it is usually when I got stuck REALLY bad. Most of the time I have that ok, I am done and I stop feeling. However if I do start to slim REALLY bad, I am going to have this happen. Also dont be suprised if your throat dont start feeling sore, mine does when this happens. Everyone is so different.... Carrie

Fill Question - For the Seasoned Bandsters
MyNewLife replied to jhawkchick75's topic in Gastric Band Support & Discussion
Shelby, I actually had an appointment planned with my fill Doc, October the 5th and I did not go. My fill Doc is three hours from me, which is NOT an issue. She called me and wanted to know why I was wanting this. She asked me questions like, how much have you lost to date, what a typical day was like food wise, do I get stuck, do I throw up, do I throw up breakfast at lunch.. YUK!!!, etc....She told me that if I wanted to she would do it but was necessary. My fill doctor did her teaching with Dr. Ortiz and Martinez at the OCC. She told me that unless I was having signs of something wrong or I thought something was wrong then that is when I should do it. She said that everything was normal and that I was doing great with my weight loss. I told her that I do not think anything is wrong just wanted the peice of mind. I thought about it and may still go, but I did not go to this appointment. She told me that the 2 lbs of week that I THOUGHT I was suppose to be loosing right now was not correct, 2-3lbs a month is good. hmmm...sounded low to me. She said since I am 37 pounds from goal, Im going to have to burn fat not calories...I am not an expert and I just do what I can do....WHO knows...lol Carrie -

Angie you are so Funny!!!!! -
Hi Pammie! I dont have my lips but I did get my eyebrows and eye liner done in July..... IT hurt really really bad. The eyebrow was not that bad but my eyes were HORRIBLE! I did get top of the bottom lid and underneath done. The lady who did mine, does have her entire lip done, liner and all. It looked really nice. The only thing is that it looks really flat, kind like a tat does when the color settles. I guess you could always but gloss over it. She said that in order to have your entire lip done, she has her patients get a shot to deaden the entire lip. I am not brave enought to do the lip...lol Carrie

Hi everyone! I have been speaking to Robin from time to time about meeting in person. I have talked to so many great people on this board and would just love to meet them in person! I would LOVE to start planning for this maybe near the Dallas area if anyone would like to Join. I am 3 hours from Dallas, but that is ok with me. I think this would be a good middle area....... I know that the Holidays are coming up and is very busy for some, but maybe we can all come up with a date, even if it is after the holidays! Carrie
