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.

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

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

does this work for men too? LOL

can you be my cheerleader? i just got banded 2/17. Goal is 100 pounds

So I begin Day 4. I have been only in mild pain, have had no issues swallowing and able to drink clear protein shot, zero calorie gatorade, broth, jello and actually drank some coffee with a splash of Fat free creamer. Actually walked 55 minutes this morning. ON my pre-surgery appt I weighed 303, on my surgery day 2 weeks later I was 295 and as of today I am 285. I know it will not be this easy for long but I am truly blessed how well I have done. 90 pounds to my goal weight.

i had surgery 2/17 also. Trying to rush to full liquids? How are you feeling? I feel pretty good myself.

i feel good

went in at 5;15am, they took some blood, checked my vitals, had me change and took me down to pre-op. At about 7:00am they took me in and put me to sleep. I opened my eyes at 9:30am. They brought me to recover with my wife around 10am. At about 12:30pm they had me get up and try to use the bathroom and drink. I was dizzy so they laid me back down. Got me up again at 1:45 and had me drink a cup and 1/2 of water. I was still dizzy but they made me stay in the chair and did a breathing treatment. About 2:30pm they got me dressed and had me walk. I was discharged at 3:15

i had mine yesterday and i have been able to drink fluids, gellatin, popsicles. i am sore but ok. I take small sips

i had mine yesterday, paid out of pocket and am ready for the journey ahead.

good luck, had mine 2/17/12 in memphis

thanks everyone. I hope to keep in touch and share the success of all our journey

I had surgery on 2/17/12 at Baptist Hospital in Memphis, TN with Dr. Woodman. A little sore today but not too bad. I am starting at 295. Ready to change my life
