| Hello guys, Dolan had a cancellation yesterday for surgery so I managed to whip up there in time and had my gall bladder out yesterday. I'm back home now, sore but happy to be home and looking forward to snuggling up to hubby instead of hearing an elderly lady snore all night...lol. The drain site is oozing quite a bit of liquid and i'm hoping that will stop soon as it's using up alot of dressings and is quite painful. I have shoulder tip pain this time and have not had that before but i'm going to try and move around as much as I can to shift it. Well as I said, glad to be home and looking forward to healing and getting back to the gym and work. Jen |

| Way to go Andra! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Oh yeah I've lost 18 kgs in 7 weeks yay for me!!!! | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi Andra here After a VERY uncomefortable weekend I finally rang Dr Dolans office and after a bit of backwards and fowards I was extremly lucky to get an appointment for that day. When I spoke to Dr Dolan I got on the scales and I had lost 6kgs in 6 days, so he said it was up to me if I wanted some fluid out. (on one hand I was happy with the loss but on the other I was a little concerned about the lack of nutrition I was not getting.) So we agreed to take a mill out and oh my the difference I was able to eat about a cup of food over the evening and it didnt hurt which I was worried about. All in all I am SSSSSSSSSSOOOOOOOOOOO glad that I decided to have that mill out and I feel blessed that I was able to get that appointment. ;-) |

| Going to see Dr D on wed, after having probs with a virus and vomitting I had 2 mls removed about 2 months ago. But had no restriction :( Bit worried about standing on the scales. Would like to get the 2mls put back in. I'm sure he will but just hope all will be ok. As going away for work the next day. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hi all when I had my first fill with KD he gave me a choice of 4 or 5 ml (I have a 10ml band) i took the lower, now I wish i had taken the 5 its now 3 weeks and i have felt nothing.. cant wait for my second its on the 28th...I dont know yet what it feels like with restriction. Jude |

| Yes, totally concur with you Jen. Overfills actually lead to weight gain rather than weight loss. Quite ironic really. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Andra, If you feel you need something done now you can go to Joondalup Emergency. They will call Dr Dolan or his offsider in to remove some fill. They will also rehydrate you ( you will be there for a few hours waiting though...nothing happens very fast up there in Emergency. ) vikki |

| I don't understand why dolan has changed to making his first fill a higher amount. That is what happened with me, but with another surgeon. I had 6 ml for my first fill and struggled with being overfilled for 2 years, with only a 20kg loss and then gaining, all whilst overfilled. Lots of fill doesn't mean lots of weight loss, you have to be comfortable to eat 1 cup size meals and still be able to drink fluids. I hope you can get in to see him quickly, if you in need of energy and struggling with food, have any optifast that you have leftover that will be a bit of a nutritional boost or a protein shake once a day. Best of luck, it sucks having an overfill. Jen |

| Andra, wow really surprised a surgeon put in 5mls in one visit. I, as many of the bandits have been in this situation where too much fill has resulted in little eating and reduction in energy. Definately make an appt to get some of the fill out immediately. I would suggest getting 3mls out, thus leaving 2mls in. Each visit after, that go up in increments of 0.5-1.0ml only. I have been banded over 5.5yrs now so have a good idea how to approach this. I even found the closer to my sweet spot I got 0.25mls made a huge difference in eating. Obviously you will need to negotiate amt of fill with Dolan, but the most important this is to get in to see him asap. Monday if poss but Tues at latest. All best. Kerri |

| Hi all, Andra here again, I saw Dr Dolan on tuesday and he put a fill of 5 mills. I did the 3 days of fluids and have tried eating since then but am not having much success. The only soild food I have managed to eat has been 2 slices of smoked salmon and last night (saturday)I managed to eat 4 peices of penne pasta and maybe a cherry tomato. Surely this is no good???? Do I have too much fluid in the band? and should I make an app to get some out? Any advice I would be extremly grateful for as I am starting to feel really depleted of my energy. :( |

As Margot mentioned do keep us up dated. All the very best. Stay cool all. vikki PS Hope to see a few of you tomorrow at SB. Thankfully it won't be as hot. |

| Hi Jen, I am catching the train in and out each day, so am catching up on my reading that I generally only do as I go to bed at night, so a book that normally takes 6 months might take me 6 weeks now - lol. Jen, I saw Liza Minelli in London in 1983 (I think) - You are right - she was amazing. I am so glad I saw her then. I don't get to Sticky's much at all. I am applying for jobs down this way, but they are few and far between, but if I give it up, I will have more free time on my hands and my social life will pick up ! ! ! K |

| Pffft Brian you crack me up. I don't there will be nothing left, a girls gotta have something to hold over her husband to get her way....i'm going to be left without wifely powers of persuasion. Jen |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| I want shrinking in the bust area LOL Brian |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hello K, yes it's a long commute and traffic makes it even more tiring. Is there any work closer to home that you can apply for? I'm hoping to go to sb's next week, do you get there much? Jen |
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Hey is anyone going to Liza Minelli....i'm so disappointed that it's so expensive...phoooey. She would be awesome to see! I've tried hinting to my hubby but hes not taking the bait...grrrrr. Isn't this weather great, just perfect. I did a circuit at the gym and there was only me and another woman so no hiding from the instructor, was a great session...my thighs are very sore. Bring on firmer arms and some more shrinking, just please no more shrinking in the bust area...lol. Jen |
