Welcome to LBT! I live in Mississippi. I'm about 20 miles from Memphis Tn. Good luck in your research and your desicion to become banded!

Welcome to LBT Denika!!! Looks like you are off and running with success. 50 pounds is great!!!! Keep up the good work and come visit us hear real often!!!!

Chances are if you have no restriction your Dr. will understand that is alot of why you gained. You should keep your head high and just start moving in the right direction. Its a new year and a new start. Get that fill and you will be on the right path to losing!!! Looks like your doing great to me. You have lost 27 pounds right??? In 2 months.. Thats great!!

I can feel mine ...especially when I lay down. nothing major just a subtle reminder of my little friend... MY BAND!!!!

Alex you have done so great!!! Keep up the great out look.... you truely are a success!!!!

My Dr. sees me every 3 months. When I'm there we decide if I need a fill. I'm almost 10 months out and I've had 3 fills. The last time I went to Dr. I did not get a fill. He told me if I needed one before my next scheduled checkup to call and make a fill appointment.

Glad you decided to go through with getting banded. Welcome to LBT!!!!

Michelle this is such great news!!! You are and always will be an inspiration to us all!!! Keep up that hard work and dedication!!!

Welcome to LBT!!!! Congratulations and welcome to band land!!!! Let us know how you are doing after you get home and are feeling better!!!

I guess I was one of the lucky ones who felt restrictioon right away after my 1st fill. I went from Dr's office right after fill and tried eating yogurt and could tell there was a big difference!!!! Second fill was much needed and 3rd fill was a pain in the butt for weeks of trying to figure it out until it decided to settle down. I went to Dr last week and told him please do not give me a fill yet. I think I will need one soon but I needed to figure out the last one first!! LOL!!! It is so hard to figure out what works and what doesn't work after getting a fill. Give it time It just might kick in even a week or two later!!

Good luck ReneBean we will be here and waiting to hear good news from you!!! Hopefully sooner than later!!!!

Sorry you are having problems. I wish you lots of luck tomorrow and a speedy recovery!!!! Wishing the best for you that all will go smoothly!!
