Thanks , Peggy I'm thinking of going to the OCC for my first fill on September 28th. There may be a couple more of us also. Where are you coming from? I'm in Florida. I'd be flying in at probably 11:00 a.m. and leaving the 29th. Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am trying to get set up with a doctor here for my fills. I can't leave my children again. I would love to go to OCC and meet up. I am starting to get hungry. I wake up in the middle of the night needing food, but I drink water and hope the pain go away. Minnie : ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm already down about 25 pounds and not hungry. Which I am so grateful for. Have you gone to TJ for all of your fills. I hear that the US Fill Center in St Pete is good, but I still think that I need to go back to TJ for them. Maybe you could answer a question for me. Do we always have to crush our medication? Forever? Thanks, Dawn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pegala Posted September 1, 2007 Author Report Share Posted September 1, 2007 Hi Dawn, Congratulations on your weght loss, 25 pound s is awesome... and not bein hungry is even better.. I have had my band now for 11 months and I am down 80 pounds.... My goal is another 25-30 pounds. I have only needed 2 fills(my last one being the begining of Feb.) and I have gone back to TJ for both of them... When I first had my band the fill centers did not have the best reputation( but I have heard good things about them recently)Even though its a 2 day trip I feel much more comfortable going back to TJ. Right now I have scheduled to go back but 1 day I feel like I need a fill and the next I don't so I'm not sure what I want to do.. Right now I am leaning towards going back since it will also be my 1 year check up.. As far as your meds are conerned. be careful what you are crushing.. some meds are NOT meant to be crushed or cut. It interfers with their absorbency.speak with your doctor first... some meds you can also get in a liquid form. I have to admit at this point I can take some pretty big pills without difficulty , so my answer would be, not the rest of your life, but that's just my opinion. Keep in touch and let me know how you are doing... Peggy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
