thanks for your words of encouragement. I was banded January 28 2011 and I had my first fill March 21. The weight loss seems to be very slow...Thanks for all the reminders

I am being banded on Wed, Feb 9 & want to lose 100 lbs. I have done well on the pre-op and want to lose 40 lbs by summer!

Yes you can... I had surgery January 28th, 2011 and I am down 30 pounds from PreOp date of Jan 4th. YOU CAN DO IT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the info... I go for my First Fill February 14th.... Good information

Hi I am new to. My surgery was Janurary 28th. So far so good, I have not had the really really bad sick feeling yet and I go back to the Dr. February 14th I am pretty sure they are going to have to give me a fill. Is this normal on your first visit post op

I was banded on 1/20/2011. I started at 237.5 and am currently 219.5. My greatest issue is finding things I can eat. I am just starting on soft foods, and have experienced that (sick feeling) on several occassions. Its like I start to cough, then birp, then hiccup, and there is a pain in my chest, and whatever is in my mouth, I immediately have to spit out. Nothing has come back up,but I do have to spit quite a bit, then it passes. I dont know what thats all about, but its not a good feeling. Anyway, its not bad, and I am not really eating alot.. So I guess its working. Tell me about some of your experiences in this area.
