I was banded April 13th and I'm down 54lbs! My scars are fading slowly but they blend in well with my pregnancy stretch marks haha

Just weighed myself and I'm 296!! So nice to be out of the 300's!!!!

I've gotten stuck a few times and let me tell you, it's no picnic. One time I honestly felt like I was having a heart attack. But it's always my fault when I get stuck and I know this.

I was banded April 13, 2012 and I'm down just about 50 pounds!

I'm in Bergen county. Had my surgery in April and down about 50 pounds

I had my surgery about 2 months ago and am a regular smoker. Smoke on Hun! Smoking helped me with the pain after surgery. As a matter of fact, that's all that helped. And to the person who said you can't get the surgery with pot in your system I suggest you do more research cause I got my surgery and no drug test.

I did it for my kids. I wanted to be able to run around and play with then without getting exhausted. I also wanna be around to see them get married, have kids, etc. I def won't mind looking better though!

It's so nice to know that the sliming thing is normal! I got stuck the other day and freaked out hen I saw that slime stuff. Ew!

I'm just trying to remember that eventually all this bullshit will be worth it. Everyone's telling me how great I look and I'm like "yeah right liars" lol

Same here! It's very frustrating.

I dont feel any restriction either. I even tried gulping some water and nada.

How was your fill?

Good for you! You're going to do amazing I just know it!

Lol well I'd just use the lower one and call it a day. A scale is what I forgot to buy last night damn. I lost like 19 lbs between yesterday's appt and the one before that. Kinda proud of myself. I was totally cheesin' in the office lol

I've been hungry a lot too but I've been losing weight so I must be doing something right

Actually I'm feeling a little nauseous. Dr said they usually start with 2cc's but I'm doing so well he only put in 1cc. Def not looking forward to 24 hours of liquids tho!

Just got my first fill. Didn't hurt at all. Felt weird tho

Just got my first fill. Didn't hurt at all!!!

I called them yesterday because I was nauseous for 2 days straight and had been dry heaving a lot. I was also really dizzy and almost passed out a few times. They sai no doctor would be in until 1 (I called them when they opened) and when he/she came in they would tell her what's going on and she would call me right away....no one err called me. I had to call them and the doctor had no idea I had even called earlier. I'm gonna try to take some deep breaths and have a nice appt today but if they keep up their **** I found another dr in ridge wood I can go to

I will. Kinda nervous. And that office seems to piss me off every time I go there.

I'm under the impression that you need to be able to feel it do the doc can fill you.

thats a good idea. maybe i'll start out with like 3 one hour walks a week and go from there. running is supposed to be really good for you but thats another thing i cant stand. maybe when i lose some weight i will change my opinion but id much rather play a game of basketball or something then run aimlessly.

That is weird. Maybe because of scheduling? I dont know. I haven't really been measuring things out. Probably bad but I just eat til I'm not hungry. As for the gym, I hate the gym and hate exercising lol I guess I'll start slow by taking the dog for nice long walks or taking my daughter for a walk with her "monster truck" I'm nervous about this first fill. Everyone says it won't hurt but I don't believe them for some reason lol I live in Garfield. How about u?

I'm doing ok. Excited for my first fill. I haven't bought a scale yet so i dont know If I'm losing or not. I'd like to start exercising but i dont know where to start. When's your first fill? I go in on the 10th

Besides starving, how are you doing?
