Surgeon Testimonial

Mark R. Gibbs
First impression-layed back and easy going. He made a very good point that this surgery is only a useable tool, you can use it or lose it.

I can't say to much, I'm approved at 100% and waiting on a date for sugery - praying for a date before the end of the year 2009!

What is wrong with me?
on May 16, 2010 10:25 am
I had banding 11-24-2009, I've only lost 21.8 lbs since. I had my 8Th fill total 8 cc's doctor says I only have one more to go. I have always lost something each trip, only a 1 or alittle bit more each time I've gone in. I'm in a cast on right foot and have been since my surgery. I have diabetic charco's in both feet the right one is very deformed and I just had a nother surgery on it to help with the diabetic ulcers. It weights between 3-5 lbs. But I've only gained one time in all this time and it was 2 lbs when I didn't get a fill for 3 months. So what is wrong with me and my band, It's to tight now and I'm puking up everything including water. And my meds keep me sick all day I can't keep them down and the longer I try to hold off throwing them up the sicker I get. I have really bad reflux when I lay down of back. So have to sleep sitting up. I've been doing this since May 4Th. I've lost the most since the to tight band since the 4Th I've lost 7 lbs.  Any one with answers please respond. I know I need to get at least a cc out. Deena  Have I really been getting the solution in my band all these months. I don't do the liquid sweets. HELP!

How many fills are you allowed with the average banding?

I've been through hell since feb. I've just had surgery on my right foot after being in a cast for 60 days. No motion no loss...I wasn't given a fill in feb couldn't eat good solid food. Had  1 cc on April 1st and can't keep much down now. So maybe I'll get back on the wagon. I've gained about 6 lbs in all since Feb. 2010
I go to have the foot checked and stitches out I think on the 21st of this month. So Maybe I can start moving around on my legs other than a wheel chair.  To many health problems.

36 days since my surgery and 5 days since my 1st...

Well getting my 1st fill was finally done. At 1st I didn't' fill any different, but by the time I drove 45 miles and started trying stuff to eat-it showed me right quick that it's the boss. Don't like the pain. I know I can't eat any type of rice, corn bread unless it's the out side burned crust and not much of that. No white crackers, or bread unless it's really crunchy, still trying stuff, but mostly on full liquids to for my own safety. I am eating 5 bean soup with crunchy crackers, hop-pin john black eyed peas with lots of juice with instant mashed potatoes instead of rice. I went to a salad bar yesterday and enjoyed diced hard boiled eggs with cottage cheese with ranch dressing, some kind of thin flat pasta with pesto which I dipped in ranch, small amount of ham diced, grape sized tomatoes and cur tons. Order the soap, but I was to full to eat it. So it is working. I some times have to get up if my plate is filled to full and get away from the table for a minute or two and when I come back I'm full. Since the start Nov. 25th 2009 I've lost 2 inches from all my parts except for the neck, and lost 13.3 lbs. I lost the 1st 12 lbs from Nov. 25---Dec 21st (my 1st scheduled fill that got canceled) then the next one got canceled and by then I had gained 5 lbs back. Then I finally got the fill on Dec 31st and have lost that 5 and a extra 1.3 lbs. So back on the trail again. It works but so do you.
