I am moving to the panhandle and was looking for a doctor in the area I got the band on 4-26-12 and also would like to find some buddies/ support also.

I was banded 4/26 and everything is going good for me. I am down 45 lbs!!! My scars have healed nicely I have had 5 fills and I'm now at 5.5 cc in my 10cc band and I'm haveing a hard time deciding if it's the green zone or maybe a little tight I can't eat more than a quarter of a cup of food and things that were ok before I got my last fill I can't get down now. I go back to doc on the 31st so I will find out then.

i am also 3 months post op and also loosing my hair. I am excited to try Biotin but have a question about it, my doctor said no pills does it come in liquid or is the pill small enough to go through the band? When i asked about birth control pill the doc told me they were small enough to take.

I was banded on the 26th. I am not doing horrible but not great either. I just want to EAT something and I guess what we have to remember is this is only the beginning. Keep our eyes on the prize!! I'm praying not only for my own strength but for all of us to be strong and know that we can finally beat this!!!!! Hang in there and keep your chin up and I will try to keep mine up too!

What's touria said was absolutely right! Very good update...my heart rate is back up! I'm doing much better! They think I might get to go home today! I havent been on any pain meds' date=' and honestly, haven't felt like I really needed them(not that I couldn't use it). My problems had nothing to do with the band itself! & I would never discourage anyone from their journey! Mine just had a rocky start is all! I'm ready to start mine!![/quote']

That is great news!!! Hope you go home today and good luck to you and your journey!!

I am finally on the other side yeah hey! I am very tired and a little sore mostly gas pain but I am doing well otherwise and have been walking a lot. everything went smoothly and I hope it did for everyone else that was banded today and will be banded soon!

So tomorrow is the big day I'm excited nervous and scared all in one. My three-day preop diet has not gone to bad not near as bad as I thought it would. That gives me a lot of hope that I'll be able to stick with this and do what I need to do to be a new and improved skinny me!! Good luck to everybody that is having surgery today and tomorrow and the rest of the month.

I am having mine done on the 27th' date=' so we will be going through this together! Good luck![/quote']

Good luck to you as well!! I will keep you posted as to how it goes for me. I start my 0 cal. liquid diet on mon. This last week I cooked a months worth of food and put in the freezer for my hubby and kids. That way I don't have to worry about what they are eatting

Yay!!! Just got my Protein Shakes and my Vitamins getting very excited to start my pre-op diet on the 9th of April my surgery is the 26th can't wait so excited and very nervous

Hi I'm Jamie I'm 33 and I weigh 337 my BMI is 54 my goal weight is 155. It is going to be tough for me but in the end well worth it. My surgery is April 26. I am super excited and a little scared.

I love to swim and have been doing it for 2 weeks now. you just have to remind yourself why you are there and what it is you are acomplishing. and not worry about anyone else but you. at least you are there and working toward something amazing!! dont let other people keep you from doing something that you love to do!!!

My Dr said 3 days 0 calorie clear liquid diet ie chrystal light, broth that kind of thing. I think by reading everyone elses postings i will do a gradual think starting 2 weeks b4 by doing Protein Shakes 2 times a day and 1 meal. then 1 week b4 do 3 protien shakes a day then doing my 3 days of Clear Liquids. that way i can gradualy get to the 3 days b4 and it might not be such a shock to my system!

April 26th for me and I'm in need for some support too!! Very excited to start on this journey!! my goal is 180 lbs sounds a little scary at this point, and i cant ever remember being thin so i cant even begin to imagine it.

April 26th

Mine is April 26th and I live in a small town in colorado there are no other support groups here so i am looking for some friends and a buddy also!!
