RE: Can anyone offer any advice? KAREN

Hi

First of all Stop Worrying all is normal, you will now have no

swelling as a result of surgery, so the surgery bit is the easy part, getting

the fill correct and adjusted to you is the harder part, of the same band

in two people can be totally different, like Mazz and I have the same band, she

has about 1.5ml more in hers than in mine, I went up 1 ml, a few years ago and

could not swallow my own spit......

The weight loss is going great so well done there, if you were

not losing, then you might need to take stock... If you are snacking make sure

these are the lower end of the calorie scale, drink plenty of water, is it

hunger you are feeling or thirst, when we actually feel thirsty, we are

suffering dehydration.

I’ve lived with my band for 5 years on the 20th

of this month, so guess I am reasonably qualified to give you some advice, but

if you are worried go see your surgeon, but to me, it all sounds smooth sailing

so far, if you have any more questions just drop us a line OK.......

Try to stick to the portions where you can, drink some water

half hour before you meal, eat slowly and chew chew chew............ All sounds

juvenile but it works.

Cheers
