Went in for my 3rd fill, I am down from 268/now 181…great weight loss!! And I am doing so much excersiize..so all is well…but I wanted another fill so I saw Dr Amson last week , and he ended up not able to fill me as my port has turned around and no matter how hard we tried and we did try ,,he could not fill me, so I am going to go in ( when they can get me in ) to have my port repositioned to make this fill stuff easier…it was not hard on me, but poor Dr A was very upset and he is so caring he had to call the next day to f/u with me to make sure I was ok…got to love him ….Next step will be plastic surgery , for a tummy tuck….I see so many people that I would love to tell them about this lap band…but I don;t ..the only people that know is my husband and kids….everyone just thinks I have great will power…WELL Guess what ,,I do have to have good will power and I do have to get up and excersize and I do have to say NO…and it sucks., and I still can vomit as I can eat to fast and not chew …I would not change a moment of this journey and  I could not have done this without my band!!!

Thank you for sharing Jacque. I am a pre-op with Dr. Amson and I am still considering all my options. I was wondering if you are going to the conference this weekend. I would be interested in speaking with you about the lap band. Frances

Did you have any imaging/Xray/  done??

Sorry to hear the port is not behaving, but on the positive side, you seem to have done very well with your weight loss!!

Hi Jacque,

 

Congratulations on yoiur amazing weight loss and will power!!  Dr. Amson must have been very pleased with your results.

 

May I ask…do you have to pay for the procedure to get the port back in the right position?  I am always paranoid about my port turning on me…that's why I am avoiding sit-uos. Ha ha.

Continued success to you…Fiona

Do you know I never did ask if I would pay, but I have never paid for any other f\u apts…or any barium imaging which I had done the first time my first fill….so I am going to say no ….and Frances if you need to know anything about the choice of band or no band….ask me I will be very frank with you ……but I will not be at any conference but if you come up island I am great with meeting …take care all …Wink
