Got a 2.6 ml fill yesterday!!!!!WHOA! I was hungry after the 7th day of my second fill, only lost 2 lbs,and didnt have good restriction at all! somehow I dont think that will be the case this time. I had a lot of personal bad junk going on in my life too, but im on the mend, and ready to get back at it. My surgeon was so sweet about it all. I just knew he was gonna have my head. But he didnt. Love that guy!

My original thoughts were expletives, and that would get me thrown off. I like it here, and would like to hang out with you guys awhile. What I will say is... I have never heard of adding ampehetamine therapy along with banding. If I asked my surgeon about that....expletives!

Nevermind, I figured it out!

My BMI was 61. My doctor and my insurance company require that I lose some weight, just to show that I could. I had no trouble with anesthesia putting me down because I dont have sleep apnea, nor do I have a big neck. I am on post op day 14, and I have lost 15 pounds since surgery, and a total of 30 for the entire journey so far. It can be done. I did the two weeks of protein shakes prior to surgery, and although I was cranky, it really got me into the right mindframe for what was up ahead.

Hi everyone, I hope im doing this right. I've decided to join and get some support. I had lapband surgery on 4-18,and I have lost 11 pounds since the surgery. I started with a physician (not the surgeon) weight loss program for three months as directed by my insurance company. I lost about 10 pounds on it. After the three months, I went to see the surgeon, Dr. John Baker, prior to my surgery date. He put me on protein shakes for two weeks prior to the surgery and I lost 15 pounds. The day befor surgery, I did clear liquids and lost a few more pounds, so i'm looking at about a 30 lb loss since February. It was recommended that I have gastric bypass for the amount of weight I have to lose, but I was totally against it. These past 12 days have been interesting. My core has been especially tender, but im walking 40 minutes per day as the doctor instructed. I am on sugar free, fat free full liquids. On Thursday I can advance to soft diet and I am excited. I am almost ready to come off of my BP meds ALREADY!!!!!!
