I got banded 10/29/07 and weighed in @ 296 and a BMI of 53, my height is 5'3"1/2, not very tall. But I have LARGE epectations!! My goal weight is 160, my mini goal is 250. Connie

I know exactly where you are coming from...........I just got my band 10/29/07 and am still hungry and could eat a whole lost more than I do, But I have been assured when I get my correct fill it will be different. I just have to hold on and eat healthy and small portions. Hang in there it will get better for us!! Connie

I began feeling hungry about 2 weeks after surgery. And could eat more than I thought I should be able to. I lost 15 lbs the first 2 weeks but on the 3 week weigh I gained 1/2 lb. My first fiil is not for 3 more weeks, so I buckled down and will be very careful until my fill. It was very frustrating but my bariactric nurse assurs me this is normal and everyons restriction is different and to just hang in there until my first fill and eat plenty of Protein and Fiber and lay off the carbs.

:)My name is Connie and I am new to the site..........I started my journey for Lap/Band surgery around april of this year. I am seeing Dr. Lee Schmitt in B-ham Alabama. I got my approval letter from my Insurance company today!! B/C B/S of South Carolina. I was so excited I couldent breath!!:clap2::whoo:

Hi Brenners, Sounds like you and I are just getting started, good luck to you!! Connie

Hi All, I have been to my seminar, done the dietician, and visited the shrink, now I await my visit to the surgeon on June 22nd. Shrink says I'm a go, but need to work on my BINGE eating with him for a couple visits, which is o.k. as I am doing the 6 months supervised weight loss with my M/D as per the ins. co. I try not to get too antsy about it.........but I am so excited at the prospect of being banded and starting a new way of life. Connie
