It is good to hear. I'm also on metformin. Would like to get off of it. I am losing my hair so bad. Anyways did you lose weight preop? I have to do only three Protein shakes a day two weeks before surgery.

I take Biotin for Hair loss. So far i havent lost my hair. I lost 8lbs pre op. i had the same plan preop. For the first time i really feel that i am going to lose and keep it off. I was a true chocoholic and after surgery i have not had any cravings. You can do it.

4weeks. I had 4cc the day of surgery and at4 week visit PA added 1.2 more so i now have a total of 5.2cc

I have pcos and i got banded 4 weeks ago . So far i have lost 20 lbs. i also take metformin and spyrolactin to help me wiyh my pcos. You can do it. Over the past 20 years i have been on so many diets - i would lose and then gain it all back plus some. The band has really made a big difference. I am so glad i decided to get the band. Good luck on your journey

I feel much better now. No pain just discomfort when I lie too long on my side.

Hi I was banded on the 19 of December. Same doctor. I used two heating pads, one on my back and the other on my shoulders . I only had discomfort for 3 days. The port is on the right side right below rib cage.

Eperez1971. Please add me. I need more friends and motivation. Thanks

Hi all

I have been really moody and angry I am to tue point where I want to not deal with people. I remember a while back my doctor said my mood was going to change but I didn't believe her because I am a happy go lucky person' date=' but it did. And I just want to know an I the only one going through this[/quote']

Hi moma you are not alone. I have been the same way . I got banded Wednesday and I'm not hungry but oh how I want to chew real food. I have been so moody. My husband actually left with my son fishing so they didn't have to put up with me. Lol hang in there we will get over the PMS

Hi Leigh!! I'm so glad you started a little group for all the December bandsters. It will be great hearing how others are doing along their journeys.

I was banded on the 18th. Am doing ok' date=' still feel pretty swollen and tight around my sternum. Some air pressure, but not tons. Am off my pain meds, just using ibuprofen now. I'm having more of a mental issue now then anything, wondering if I did the right thing, scared of never feeling "normal" again, etc. I'm sure that many people go through that once they get banded. I hope as I start to feel better those feelings will go away.[/quote']

I got banded on the 19 and am going thru the same. I am very weak and sleepy. It will get better. Lets hang in there

I'm do happy to hear everything went well. I get banded tomorrow and I am scared about the pain and gas that everyone talks about. Take care

Minimi. Wow 42 lbs. That's awesome. Congratulations. I get banded on December 19th. I will friend you on my fitness

Thank you jms413. The shakes from true results leave a bad after taste in my mouth. For some reason I'm craving lemons with salt.....

Great advice. I get banded on the 19th so I will remember this if I get gas pain. Thanks
