Well good news no slippage of the band... Bad news my esophagus was tired from the band being too tight. So I went from 5.4cc's to 2.3cc's not really happy about this but my dr said in 6 wks we can bump me to up slowly. so now I have to be very careful how and what I eat. I have to say I feel so much better.

Not sure if many of the new people waiting are aware but there is a forum for Feb 2013 surgeon patients. You may find it helpful to join that form to read experiences of people also waiting for responses.
How are my 2012 LBT people doing we are coming up on 1 yr. Im do excited and would love to hear how you are doing and see pictures.

I had surgery on Wednesday to unlock my band and predisposition my stomach. Lucky there was no swelling of the stomach so they were able to re-lock my bad (if there was swelling we would have to wait 12 weeks to re-lock the band). My procedure was done laporoscopicly, 5 incisions (the Dr was nice enough to reopen my 4 previous incisions). I will be on a liquid diet for 5 day, followed by soft foods and then regular foods. On Sept 5th I have a check up and at that time we will discuss filling my band.
I feel okay just sore and groggy from the surgery but I am glad I didn't wait.

Sorry for the delay in response but here's my update:
visited the Dr and he removed ALL the fliquid from my band which felt great. I was schd. for an Upper GI today and we found that my stomach has slipped above my band so I have been schd. for surgery tomorrow at 11am.
I'm very nervous but since I know what to expect I just want to get it over with. After surgery i will restart my lapband process

Coming up on one year!!! 65 pounds lost for a total weight loss of 110 pounds!! I am the smallest I have been in years!! I cant tolerate bread, heavy foods or really sweet foods. I am loving my tool! I have 7.2 cc in my 10 cc band. I have not had a fill in three months and I am still losing. I am about 25 pounds from my goal. Looking into getting a TT and breast lift when I hit my goal. How are the 2012 bandsters doing?

So I'm still seem to be doing well with my lap band. The vomiting is few and far between. My husband believes its the way I am eating (mainly eating to fast). I am 7 lbs away from , 3lbs away from my half way mark and I am so happy. I have yet to buy new pants but I am getting to the point that they barley stay on. However I did have a pile of pants at the bottom of the closet that I hoped to one day would fit in again and that day is now I started at a size 22 and now I'm in a size 18 with wiggle room. I also have some size 16s that Im holding on to maybe once I leave 200 I will be able to get into them. Their are days that I just can't believe how well this lap band is working for me and it's a choice I will never regret. I hope everyone else is doing well and seeing results.

Update: I noticed my last blog has some errors...lol!!
As of Sept 7, 2012 I have offically lost 50 lbs.. YIPPEE I am only 3 lbs away from breaking out of the 200's. I couldn't be more happier and to make my day even better I fit into my size 16 jeans... They felt so nice and I looked so good. I love seeing my old body and I'm pumped to see what another 30lbs gone will look like
