I'm going to ask Dr. A today how many CC's my band holds...hopefully I'll find out when I can have a fill....

From what I hear no fills are being done at the Surgical Center yet. There was a problem with the construction (you know how those things go).

And Kimi - no need to fear. The 24 inch needle (which is 3 inches wide) doesn't hurt after the first 30 minutes. And it's wild to see the blood that gushes when they stick you - WOW !! It's like hitting a oil well in Texas. And you quickly get used to the smell too. ..

Well off to kick some more kittens, and tell kids the truth about Santa !!


Good Luck on your Journey !!

Stacey - Tom is right. My fill was in St. Claire's Dover Hospital where I had the surgery done. It would be nice if they could do it at the surgical center but that was not offered to me at all.

I spoke to Doctor Abkin yesterday and they are hoping (hoping) to have the "Fill" center open by the end of August. Let's keep our fingers crossed !!
Good Luck on your Journey !!

Tom,

That is SUCH great news!!  I can't wait to start going to the center vs. the hospital for fills.  As it is, I have to go to St. Peter's next week for my next fill.  I wish that I could wait until the end of August, but unfortunately I just can't!  Oh well, maybe next time . . .

the best information i can give u is that when u start getting fills u really have to pay attention to what u r eating things that are easy to digest. if it cant go down it is going to come up. eat slowly and know when to stop. i had my band done in may of 'o8 and couldn't be happier remember it is still only a tool to help u the weight doesnt fly off . i excersize every day and go to weigh****chers weekly. i didn't tell them about the band. i lost 92 lbs in over a year and it something i stay very intuned with. the drs dont want u losing more than 2lbs a week. good luck to u . i hope we can talk soon
