Had my first fill today!
Let me tell you it was awful. My doctor kept having problems finding where the port for my Lap-Band was, so he had to insert it 4 times before he finally got it. We were going to go over to the Hospital and do it under X-ray until he decided to give it one last try. I haven't felt any difference yet because I had to work last night and I do tonight so I haven't eaten anything yet. I was a little disappointed because the scale that I stepped on a work is about 20lbs off, so I guess I am not down as much as a I thought, but everything else is good. Plus I have had some wonderful things happen in my personal life too, so things are looking up.

1. Don't be in too much of a rush.
The weight will come off on its own now, and even in a case like this losing TOO quickly is bad. All-in-all, you sound like you are going to be much happier and healthier soon. I'm very happy for you. :D

3. hiya mduffy! good to hear from you again.
The weight will come off, slowly but surely and you'll feel so much better. I hope that insertion procedure wasn't painful. Is that something that has to be done periodically? I confess, I don't know a lot about the lap band at all.
I read your other thread in the lounge. GO for it! Enjoy life to the fullest, you really have nothing to lose (but weight :) )
We all need love and happiness in our lives and I think we all deserve it.
