    Very surprising NSV today!!

    That is such a lovely post, I just long to hear those words " are you losing weight"? Congrats to you.
  5. Do you only encounter this problem after you have your first fill?

    3 months post op

    Way to go, you can see a huge difference. Well done!
  7. I know the scars will be small, and at my age that is a real low price to pay for healthy lifestyle, but anyone got suggestions for what to rub on them? I was thinking tea tree oil.

    Removing Stitches

    My husband has been an absolute star and he is with me every step of the way from the money it has cost to changing bandages and walking with me. I am a very lucky lady!!!!
  9. We live five hours from doctors, hubby thinking of removing stitches on Sunday (10 days post op) I am not sure if to let him or not.

    Removing Stitches

    Just sharing.

    I seven days out too, oh actually eight today. I actually feel guilty when reading some posts coz I am feeling really good. I have walked each day and today did one hour and fifteen minutes. I only took four pain killers and had no gas problems. I feel very lucky and thankful.
  12. I am on Day 6 (still fluid). I can drink must faster than on day one. I followed everything 100% and feel absolutely great. My question would I get a reaction from the band if I am drinking too fast? I finish 500ml water in two hours it is difficult to train not to take big swigs.

    Drinking

    Feeling Down

    Thanks, I decided against pain meds, after the first day and I am honestly not hungry. This is also my first time on post-op and I posted and then read. It seems I have nothing to complain about after reading some threads, but thank you for your kind words it has picked up my spirits.
  20. Such inspiration, thanks for sharing it me hope.
  21. My big day is here, lay in bed just awaiting to be banded. I am second on list so two hours to go. Don't even feel nervous.
