Went to see the Doc on June 6th. Things are going great down to 278. Things are going great. Got my first fill. My band is a 14cc and had 5cc in it. My doct gave me 2 so I"m at 7cc or half of my bands capacity. I really didnt notice it untill today. Boy do I get full quick. Thats the name of the game though. Don't want to sound like a homer, this is a great tool. I'm so glad I went through with it. The doc seems very happy with everything. I do keep a very accurate record of all I eat. Think that is a huge tool also. Work hard in the gym too. On the tread mill and hit the weights every other day and do Tae Kwondo every day but Sunday. I hope everyone that goes through this has the results I've had so far. Oh yeah the doc says i'm at 35% weight loss of my total extra weight. In less than 3 months.

No Fill
· chunkyhunky · 05/20/2012 19:00
Today is May 20th. Went in for my first fill and my doctor is so happy with my weight loss he decided not to give me a fill. I agree all seams to be going well. I'm down 50lbs since my lap band was placed. Working out and eating right seams to come easy with the help of the band. He seams to think I may be in my green zone now. Hope so. Don't want a fill. Of things can change. Just have to take one day at a time. This is without a doubt the best thing that I've done for my future and my kinds future with their dad. Hope eveyone is making good progress out there. Good luck.

Hunger Pains?
· chunkyhunky · 05/07/2012 23:26
Went in for my first fill on May first. Doctor said I'm down 42lbs since my proceedure so he didnt want fill my band. He said for me to call if I start to get hungry befor my four to five hour window. Have been doing well. I have been noticing a pain after about four hours. It seems to be in my lower stomache not around the band. I wonder if its hunger pains? It does seem to go away after I eat so I asume it is hunger. It just seems pretty intense. It comes and goes. Very weird. Anyone have similar things going on. I'm very happy things are going very well. The best thing I've ever done. Off to Tae Kwon Do. Hope to hear from someone on this. Thanks.

First Fill Tomorrow.
· chunkyhunky · 05/02/2012 02:23
Going in for first fill tomorrow. A bit nervous. Hear all of these horror stories. Things are going well though. I'm glad I'm going in for the fill. Seems like I'm getting hungry but, I think it's all in my head. Reason being I'm not at all hungry during the day. Only in the night just when I'm sitting around watching tv. Doing well down to 292 on Sunday. That's my weigh in day. Keep saying I'm only going to weigh in once a month but seem to do it every Sunday morning. As long as it keeps going down though.

First Blog Of Any Kind

Had my lap band surgry done on March 19th 2012. Weight one wk befor the surgry was 324. I'm down to 299. Things are going well. My first fill is on May 2nd. I am how ever getting a little hungry between meals. Doing ok though. Will the fill make that much difference? I am very happy with how things are going just worried a bit. Don't want to return to the late night snacker I was. Any thoughts out there. Thank you.
