im reading all these horror stories on here about how some people havent lost weight. this is scaring me. i read that one doctors article, im just hoping this doesnt happen to me. ill be devastated. i havent had my first fill yet. i was banded on 1/3/11. my only issues are im having trouble drinking enough water and i still want to eat. ive lost 10lbs. i hope it starts melting off soon.

i just recently quit smoking too. i was banded 1/3/11.... its hard. another person on here told me that before we get our first fill its usually hell. i was at the doctors the other day and a guy in there said he gained weight before his 1st fill. i wouldnt be alarmed. good luck!

did you get banded yet? im from camden county too. im looking for support group meetings.

hey im from cape may county. i just moved to camden county though. im looking for support group meetings in my area.

i use the realizemysuccess.com i really like that.

i take 1000mgs of depakote ER.the nurse at the hospital told me to cut them in half. but i dont think thats right since they are ER. i havent had a fill yet but i need to figure something out before because im kind of scared, they are big pills and can totally block the outlet. im gonna look into the liquid. thankx

i am having the same issue. when they put the band on it isnt filled at all. i had my surgery jan 3 2011. so now the swelling is going down. its pretty much like we have no band. so in a few weeks we will get our first fill. then, no more big macs. good luck.

hi i just got banded on jan 3rd 2011. so far ive lost 8 lbs. but im losing interest in my foods. i am getting dehydrated. i just cant seem to drink enough. i was so into it and i dunno what happened. i just keep thinking of the foods i cant eat anymore. it hasnt even been 2 weeks. i feel like a failure already.
