Thanks so much!! I have a friend that had RNY and we tell each other the different problems and solutions that go with our WLS. OMG!!! Garth Davis that must be a hoot to go to him for surgery and follow-ups.  I love "Big medicine" and have been watching it for 2 seasons, can't wait for the new season to start.

Hi Debbie.  I can't relate to what you must be going thru, as I had the RNY, but I know you'll do fine.  I too, hate any needle, I'd have to close my eyes if the doc came at me with a huge syringe.  Good luck with the next fill.

Topic: My first fill...and I didn't croak!

I think like a lot of new WLS patients after getting up the nerve to have Lap Band surgery that  everything that went along with it would be a breeze. Of course after having the surgery and the deadly gas pains and heart palpitations I realized this is a little scary. So, when the time came to have my first fill I was filled with dread...oh no more pain. It was a little hard to see the needle, I asked the doctor was a horse in the room...he didn’t laugh. He showed me it only looked that big because it contained the saline for the band. I didn’t feel it going in only pressure and it was over soon I did realize I was still holding my breath and in a sit up position until he told me to relax. All the nights I had stressed about it, all the post I had read about everyone's experience. Bottom line...it wasn’t so bad and I didn’t croak!! My next fill is set the day before Thanksgiving......
Oh Noooooo!!!

Daniel, you need to make a trip over to ABQ and meet a few of us "loosers" in that part of the world.  Have you ever visted Santa Fe before?  It is beautiful and I'm sure you'll have a great time.  Equally, Albuquerque is a blast with lots of great sites to see and people to meet.  Be safe and come on by!

if only this was still available to us today...well I suppose it is if you go to some third world country and are careless.

Hi, you'll have a great time in Santa Fe.  If you get down to Albuquerque, let us know.  What type of conference are you attending?

Time to come out of the closet! Just think what an inspiration you would be!! We'd love to see you and have you share your experience.

I, too, work in the medical field in Santa Fe. I work in home oxygen and so work with many of the Docs here - they are so inspired by what I've gone through and my success that they are actually sending their obese patients to me to talk with. That is one of the reasons I thought this support group would be a good idea.

Hope to see you there.
