How do you stay motivated? What changed for you after surgery? I need all the help I can get.

Small goals first...that sounds like a plan. I have to get back on track. Banded October 11th only down 32lbs. Not the bands fault...its all me. Thanks for you guys replies. Need all the help I can get.

Welcome to the family!!!

Good luck...and the excitement will kick in soon. Congrats and again good luck.

Hi...my name is Nadine. I have a surgery date of Oct 11th. Starting this process was easy for me. I made up in my mind that I no longer wanted to be heavy and have my knees hurt all the time. Half of my family is type 2, and I didnt want that for myself. But now that my surgery is only 3 days away I dont know how I feel. Am I nervous or just chicken (scared to change)??? And this 5 day clear liquid diet is not making things any better. I have no energy and im dizzy all the time. HELP!!!

I'm doing pretty good. I only have 2.5cc in my band. I was really scared at first to get filled. Now I don't have any restrictions. I lost 27 pounds so far. How are you doing?

I love Dr. Eid...his staff is great also. Good luck in January. Keep us posted on how u are. Is Pittsburgh people need to stick together. Lol

I'm so happy for u. And thanks for the encouragement.

I'm pretty sure:)

I go back Dec 28th...this time I will let them put more in. Keep up the good work.

About 7 weeks and 4days. Still trying to get the hang of it. But I wouldn't change it for the world.

I think everyone should be numbed. But maybe I'm just a big baby. Lol

It wasn't a bad as I thought it would be. They numbed me I didn't feel a thing. I only got .5cc for a total of 2.5cc. Did u have one yet?

Had my first fill today..really scary. I only let them put in .5cc. A total of 2cc...now I wish I would have let them put more. It didn't hurt at all..but I was so scared. My next appt is Dec. 14th. Wish me luck.
