|  Newly banded
Hello everyone!! I just got banded on Jan 5, 2005. I researched the band for several years prior and finally took the plunge just about two weeks ago. I struggled my whole life with obesity and the constant yo-yo syndrome. I was very fortunate to have the procedure and all aftercare covered by my insurance. I'm doing quite well and have my first follow up this Wed. I thought it would be nice to have some support out there so I discovered this site and have spent hours reading through. Thank you everyone for your posts. I was especially interested in learning more about the fills, since I've not experienced that yet. Thanks again!

Welcome! There are a couple of different threads on fills. If you go to the search button and enter fills, it should take you to them.
Each doctor is different as to the amount of fill and when they fill.
I have had two fills, I didn't feel any restriction with the first one, the second is showing me some.
Neither one of my fills hurt at all, although I did get a brusie with each of them.

Healthy, do a "search" for Ticker Tape Thing....it's a detailed thread about making the ticker tape. Hope this helps. If I can figure it out (with a lot of help), anyone can!!

Welcome, welcome, welcome! So glad you found us. I love this site. I stopped visiting the other ones when I found this one. We will help you any way we can. And if you post, you'll help us, too. Even after 16 months I still learn from everyone.
