Ahhhh, Sweet Spot At Last..........

I'm thinking this fill (2nd since I was unfilled in Feb) is going to be "the one".  I was hoping it was (I'm pretty sensitive to fills) but I had no idea.  The intake is just about right, yet I am able to eat tomatoes cukes and squash (even if it's just a small amount).

That's the holy grail for me-restricted amounts but not restricted as to WHAT I can eat.

Miracle of miracles, through my unfill, partial refill and TWO vacations, my weight stayed rock steady.  Now, I honestly do get some restriction with an empty band, but hey, some of those habits must be paying off too.

It's still to soon to tell (my fill was Thursday and I've just started back on solids)....but I think this might be it....wooooo hooooo.

I love Dr. Nelson and her sensible approach to things.  The band is not, and should not (in my opinion) be a complicated thing.

Hooray for you, Deb!!! I'm so happy for you!

I love those summer foods, too ... and they're healthy, too! 

Yep, I so appreciate Dr. Nelson, too. ; )

YAY!  Sounds like you've got that system on lock!  It sounds so complicated and I'm so glad that someone got it working just right for ya! T.

Yeah, life is too short not to eat fresh tomatos, onions and cucumbers....LOL.

Cowboy, it's really pretty simple, but it's like anything else, learning to use it takes a little time. 

One of the things I love about the Okie forum is how all the different surgery types support each other.  Now it looks like (from Jeremy's sticky up above) we are dividing the Lap Band into Inamed/Allergan Lap Bands and Realize Lap Bands....come ON-it's a silcone ring with sal****er in it-do we really need two forums?

CONGRATS HOODOOWOMAN! I know you will continue to succeed!!  That is crazy about separating the types of lapbands.  Weird.  Have a great day and keep on keeping on!
