Well, I received my first fill yesterday here in AZ with Wendy Hall and her daughter Tammy.. I just want to say it was awesome.. These two ladies are so sweet and I am so happy I chose to go to them for my first fill. And it was only $100. I was a little reluctant at first because I couldn't feel my port on my own and I was afraid they would miss it or have to stick me a dozen times. Tammy found it on the FIRST try and made sure I had very good restriction before she pulled out the needle. I sat in the lobby for a bit afterwards and sipped on some water to make sure I had the appropriate restriction. I have 48 hours to decide if I want more fill or unfill at no additional cost.. It took 3.5cc's to give me the appropriate restriction. Today I still feel the restriction and I love it.. I can only eat tiny portions and I feel stuffed!!! I LOVE IT.. I will continue to use Wendy and Tammy for my fills until I reach my goal.... KELLIinAZ 260/237/150 Banded 1/05/07

Thank you for the info Cyndi. I haven't PB'd yet, and sounds like I don't ever want to...

That would be great. I'd love to chat with others in person about their experiences. Let me know and I'll try my best to be there.. I think a live support group would be a great incentive to keep on track. I'm still looking forward to my first fill. I scheduled my appointment with Wendy Hall at the Mesa office on February 19th. I'm a little scared because she doesn't use fluro, but she seems to have a lot of knowledge with fills and since I can clearly feel my port she doesn't think I have anything to worry about. Just hoping to get some restriction so I can start dropping some more pounds.. I seem to be at a standstill right now, but trying not to get discouraged. KELLIinAZ

Hi everyone... I'm newly banded (January 7th) and am thrilled to see so many folks from Arizona have opted for the Lap Band.. I live in Coolidge... About halfway between Phoenix and Tucson. I'm scheduled for a fill on February 19th, and am looking forward to hopefully getting some restriction as I currently feel like I have none. I haven't weighed in yet, so I don't know what my weight loss is yet, but I do feel alot better than before.. I do have one question..... What does PB stand for? It appears almost everyone has suffered this, but I have no idea what it is.....
