IT DIDN'T START OUT LIKE THAT. MY FIRST FILL DIDN'T LAST LONG, MAYBE A WEEK? MY NEXT FILL LASTED FOR ABOUT 3 MONTHS BUT I DIDN'T GO IN FOR SEVERAL MONTHS ABOUT THAT FOR ANOTHER FILL
WOO HOO!!! CONGRATULATIONS ON YOUR WEIGHT LOSE!!!
THE LOCAL PLACE I GET FILLS DONE, HER ASSISTANT HAS A BAND. SHE WAS AT WHAT SHE THOUGHT WAS HER SWEET SPOT FOR MONTHS. ONE DAY, OUT OF THE BLUE, SHE NEEDED AN UN FILL. NO RHYME NOR REASON. THE BAND JUST BECAME TO TIGHT. GO FIGURE, IT'S A FICKLE THING
CALL THE OCC CELL PHONES!!! BETTER SAFE THEN SORRY. WHAT HAVE YOU GOT TO LOSE?
IN THE MEAN TIME, STAY ON LIQUIDS
ALL I CAN TELL YOU IS WHEN MY FRIEND LOST HER BAND, SHE WAS IN PAIN, REAL INTENSE PAIN. SHE FIGURED IT'S BEEN SLIPPED FOR MONTHS BUT WHEN IT FINALLY STARTED TO PINCH OFF EVERYTHING, THAT'S WHEN ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE
YOU CAN SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT EVERY 4 WEEKS AT THE OCC IF YOU'D LIKE. EACH TIME I'VE DISCUSSED WITH THE DR HOW I'M FEELING, HOW MUCH RESTRICTION OR LACK OF RESTRICTION I HAD. BOTH TIMES I HAD FILLS AT THE OCC, I WAS ALSO WEIGHED. THERE'S A SCALE IN THE FILL ROOM RIGHT NEXT TO THE DOOR WHEN I WAS DOWN THERE.
THE LOCAL FILL GAL HERE WEIGHTS YOU AND ALSO CHARTS MY PROGRESS. I'M FEELING FINE NOW SO I HAVEN'T BEEN BACK UP THERE. I PLAN ON RETURNING TO THE OCC FOR AN ENDOSCOPY IN A YEAR. IF MY FILL LEVEL STAYS THE WAY IT IS, I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO RETURN UNTIL THEN
MY REGULAR MD ALSO IS CHARTING OF MY WEIGHT LOSS, GAIN WHEN I GO IN
I WAS THINKING THE SAME THING. IT'S NOTHING FOR SURGERYS HERE TO BE CANCELED EVEN THE DAY OF SURGERY AND RESCHEDULED. IS IT RIGHT, NO BUT THINGS COME UP AND HAPPEN.
RELAX, CALL YOUR AIRLINES AND SEE IF THEY CAN'T HELP YOU. LET US KNOW HOW IT GOES. I'LL
BE THINKING OF YOU
ALRIGHT GREG!!! YOUR ATTITUDE IS AWESOME!!! WE DIDN'T GET FAT OVER NIGHT AND THE WEIGHT DOESN'T COME OFF OVER NIGHT. SLOW AND STEADY WINS THE RACE
I'M CHEERING FOR YOU =D>
WHEN I WAS IN MY RESEARCH STAGE, ALLERGAN AND INAMED, MAKER OF THE BANDS THE OCC USES, EMAILED ME THIS BOOKLET:

Page 6: The band is adjustable
Normally, you don
I HAVEN'T SEEN ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY. I DON'T KNOW WHY NO WORRY THOUGHT OTHER WISE. aka dirty little secret
THE BAND IS A TOOL, NOT A MIRACLE WORKER
YES, YOU'LL WAKE UP IN YOUR OWN ROOM
THE DOORS ARE ON RIGHT ARE THE ROOMS, THE DOOR ON THE LEFT IS THE OR, CLOSE

WELCOME SONJIA,
YOU'LL BE FINE ALONE. I DID HAVE A FRIEND HAVE SURGERY THE SAME DAY I DID BUT OTHER THEN THAT WE WERE ALONE TOGETHER LOL
I KNOW IT SEEMS STRANGE TO TRAVEL THAT FAR AND HAVE SURGERY BY YOURSELF BUT REALLY, YOU'LL DO FINE. YOUR ONLY OUT FOR UNDER AN HOUR, RELAX
LOL TO FUNNY
I REMEMBER THE DAYS WHEN BOTH KIDS HAD US RUNNING. SOCCER, BASEBALL, FOOTBALL, GOLF, DANCE TEAM, CHEER, DANCE, IT WAS ALWAYS SOMETHING.
ENJOY THE DAYS, THEY GO BY TO FAST
