Hi to everyone out there in ND. I am just recently returned from a three week trip to Arizona. I have had a infection in my incision area and have not been able to get my first fill. I was banded on Jan 19. I was hoping to have some more of this fat off by now but seems to be sticking on pretty tight.
Food is still my major issue. Seems like I want to eat all the time. I hate this. I fight with the urge to eat every waking hour. I have had some moderate success with wieght loss but seem to be not able to resist the grazing eating pattern I have dealt with for many years.
Help!!!! I need some major intervention by you folks. Hope some of you are standing by.
I have an appointment with Dr. Schmidt for April 5 for a fill if my infection is clear. I am so hoping that will help me. How do you alll deal with the urge to eat all the time?? :help:

hi there, sorry to hear about your cravings and the infection. Are you getting a fill in Minot? I have an appointment for 1:00 there. Hopefully he will be able to give you a fill. That will definately help you. It takes a while to get a good fill so talk to Dr. S about it if you are still having problems after a week or so after your first fill. hope all goes well.
