i was banded 2/17, am down 35 pounds and go in 3/26 for first post op appt

I had it done on 2/17. I can feel myself full first on liquids then puree quick. I have lost 35 pounds in the 4 weeks and go in for my first post op on 3/26. Can keep you posted

i flew the week after surgery

Try to start from scratch again. Go back to week 1 and do cler liquids only, then liquids, then puree. Get OUT of the house. this will eliminate temptation. Go find a walking track. Go to the mall with a bottle of water and no money or debit card. Find a partner in this. You can do it. Its a mind game that your allowing yourself to lose. Send me an email when your struggling. I would be happy to help. You can do this. The biggest thing you said is: You a MOM. Don't miss your childs precious moments because your dead. Sounds cold but that was the reality check for me. Jay

For my 39th birthday I am happy to say I am down 35 pounds after surgery 2/17. MY BP is down to 120/78 and I feel great!!!

my thought is he needs to remember he is the one who takes you home and has the "fun" with you!!! Flaunt it

congrats i am down 20 in 2 weeks and ready for 1st fill

i had surgery 2/17/12. Would be happy to help in any way. Good luck

hard to tell since I have not pushed the limit much for food. Still eating liquids and puree, mostly soup, yogurt, pudding so not sure but i want to continue as i am for a while.

So it has been 2 weeks to the day of my surgery. I have had no complications. I am on a puree diet with no issues. I have lost 23 pounds since surgery day so far. My BP is 120/70 and my wife said I am not snoring (sleep apnea) like I used to. I have to say this has been a good decision. My only gripe is I will be making a nasty phone call to the Dr office because I was quoted $875 for anethesia and got a bill for $2125. A little bait and switch? Jay

Dr. Woodman in Memphis. Day of surgery was 297 and now 274
