Wow good job! But why haven't you had any fills yet?

Hello! I was also banded on 4/18/12 and have lost 38lbs , (congrats cbarreto on your 52lb loss). My scars are still noticeable but I think it’s partly because I just have that type of skin, the 4 smaller ones are less noticeable just dark in color and of course the port incision is longer. I go for my 3rd fill next week, so super excited to maybe hit the "green zone" latisadawn-- how much weight loss for you? How are your scars doing? Have you hit the green zone?

Maybe try creating a new group? And so whoever wants to join can just go there and post each day

Hi Carolinagirl! Congrats on your 53lbs loss, that is awesome!!!! I have a question, what is lapband with implication? How is that different than just a lapband? Also if your seeking accountability, have you tried Myfitnesspal? You can log on and invite friends, track your meals and exercise.

I was also curious about this as well. Just started a boot camp and we do a lot of jumping, and i started to cough after and am a little worried.

Sure! I just have non-band friends on so it would be cool to add u! My email is csoto81@yahoo

Congrats Gale on your first fill!! I'm scheduled for mine next week and i'm a little nervous. But I hear you about being on liquids for 2 days and soft foods for a day, i thought we were done with those stages But I guess every time we get a fill it will be the same. But just think your one step closer to getting to that good restriction, best of luck to you.

Hi, I was just curious can you get "stuck" before your first fill? I'm 20 days post-op, wasn't filled during my surgery, so my band is liquid free.

Hi, I had pacificare for half the year and my work switched to bluecross the other half, I had to do the 6month nutrition. That was last year, so don't know if anything has changed

Congratulations!!!!!! Keep up the great work

HI Sasha, Is the reason why you couldn't finish your eggs is because you just came of a liquid diet? And your stomach got "smaller" not because you got a fill right? I went to the follow up appointment yesterday and he approved me to go to mushie foods-he said anything that doesn't require a knife, i can eat. I thought my "normal" appetite would come back, but notice i get fuller faster, I had 1 cup of Soup and half a mashed sweet potato, and that filled me up even felt uncomfortable fullness, I don't have a fill yet, so its just my regular stomach. Don't know if that makes sense?

Oh i'm sorry to hear about that "yucky" feeling, hope it gets better. Definately don't have that throw-up feeling, so going to wait it out until doctors visit. It is bearable, actually don't have the pain today, just hunger pains :-(

Yes the pain is higher, but no tummy wind, lol. I did get that in the beginning days though. I really now believe its just my body reacting to what just happened a week ago, but luckily i have a doc appointment next tuesday. Thanks for your post.
