Ok so today I get my first fill! What should I expect? Should I eat and drink before I go or not?

Congrats to your weight loss! In your first year how much did you loose? I was banded in dec and I've lost 73lbs so far! And the amount of time I've lost it I can already tel with my stomach cause its saggy but I don't want to do anything quit yet till I've lost all the wait and maybe a pregnancy to! Thank you so much what a inspiration!

You can do it you can do it! Its not hard at all ! Work with your lapband and it will work for you! Getting banded was the best thing I could of done for myself! I've been banded since dec and I've lost 73 lbs I've worked hard and done what I'm suppose to ! Good luck and keep us posted on your new journey!

Mine was doing the samething! I had made a couple of post and then they were gone!

Thanks debbie! I wondered about that! Congrats on your weight loss how are you feeling? I've got a lot more to loose but I want to try to at least get as firmed up as I can because I know I'll probably have to have X skin took off but I would also try to avoid it to! Thank you so much!

Ok I don't know why but I'm hoping this post will show up my others haven't! I've been succeeding on loosing the weight fast . I was banded the 29th of dec. And have lost 73lbs so far! I've done 45 min aerobics every day on top of stair steps and I walk when its nice outside my question is I've been thinking about joining a place in my town that is like curves ! I'm trying to firm things up and I didn't know if I was on the right track or if I should join the womens gym! Could somebody HELP?????

I had the surgery because I have medical problems and I was sick and tired of my weight taking control of my life now I'm taking control of it!

I think its totally normal to be nervous! I was a nervous wreck but I kept telling myself its all going to be well worth it in the end!

I totally agree ! I'm making him hide it today and I won't weigh myself till I go to the doctor next tuesday!

I'm afraid that I've am becoming a scaleaholic!! Is it possible? I've been weighing myself every day sometimes twice a day ! I'm thinking my husband should hide it from and only allow me to get on it ever once in awhile! Does anybody else have this problem?

I just had my surgery on the 29th of dec. At cox fd with dr.woods! They are so awesome there! I live in aurora . I get my 1st feel next tuesday. I'm so excited because I've already lost 56lbs! Anyone out there from my area?

I have factor v lieden and had my surgery last month! Is there anybody out there that has it and the has lost the weight and not had any problems ? And have you been able to cut down on your coumadin / blood thinner?

I'm a hairdresser and I wouldn't even worry about it !

I just got banded on the 29th of dec. And I eat about a cup of food each meal and have 3 meals a day! Now when I get my first fill will I eat less then that?
