Hi everyone. I was banded 26 October 2013. Just had my second fill to 6cc in 10cc band.
Still not green, but no longer starving. How much have you all lost so far?

My surgeon said that the problem with carbonation is really that you can't burp the same after surgery so it gives you gas and sometimes gas pain.

And you Lynn!

So happy for you Bluemoon-T. It's funny how much it changes your whole attitude to food. I was obviously super hungry before. I can't wait for my second fill!

How is everyone going?
I'm almost 3 months post op.
I've lost 19kgs or 43 pounds. Can eat pretty much anything, but just not hungry at all. So exciting!
-
Wow! That's quite a loss. Well done to you!

My op was not covered by Medicare. My private health insurer paid hospital fees. Medicare covers appts with specialist if you have a referral.
Cost differential for me was about 5600, but a bit of that I got back from private extras cover (psychologist). Hope that helps.

I am struggling to find things I'm interested in eating. Guess that's part of the band's magic!
-
Wow that is amazing! You must be really working that band!

I had Jeff Hamdorf. He's the business in Perth!

I was banded 29 October and I'm down 30 pounds so far. I had my first fill last week. Still hungry, so not in the green zone yet! How is everyone else doing?
-
I'm the same! Feel hungrier after first fill on Monday!

2 Peanut Butter cups is amazing. Imagine how much you might have eaten pre band. My surgeon is also banded, and he's really emphasized that this is not a diet, but a new small portion way of life. This idea works for me. No good and bad foods but new focus on Portion Control. Good luck to you my friend.

Well done! Quite a milestone.
8 minths and 66 pounds. Before and after!
