    Where are you MS folks?

    Hello, Betty Lue! I was banded August 17--and cannot wait to get my first fill--not til Oct. 1st--from Dr. George Woodman in Memphis. When did you have surgery--and how much have you lost? I am SOOOOOOOOOO ready to have some restriction--as I really can eat whatever I want--and know that I shouldn't. Those first 2 weeks were really nice when you just couldn't eat!

    Hungry--2 Weeks Out

    I was banded August 17th and have done great--no problems so far and have done just as my doctor said. But, I can't tell when I am full and I am really hungry and feel like I can eat anything I want --don't feel need for soft foods. Will having my 1st fill help out??? First week or so I had no desire to eat and did fill full fast--guess it was the swelling--but now that the swelling is obviously down, the fast fullness feeling is gone!!! HELP!!!:help:

    Hungry--2 Weeks Out

    Thank you so much! You seem to be doing great--we started out having about the same to loose--65 or so--so you are a great inspiration. Glad to know that the band doesn't work yet--couldn't quite figure it out. I suppose when I get my first fill on Oct. 1 that it will be kind of like the first several days after surgery--not really wanting to eat and being able to tell if you are full--right now I keep thinking that I should be full--but don't feel like it--guess it is cause the food just goes right on thru that band!!! Thank you again.

    Hungry--2 Weeks Out

    Were you hungry during those few weeks before your first fill?? Want to know if this hungry feeling will go away w/help of first fill--and if I really get "full"

    Mississippi Bandsters!

    I'm from Indianola. Had surgery week ago today and am doing great--no problems so far, but I am following my instructions to the t--not that that has been hard as I am not even hungry. Isn't it funny how the band takes the cravings away?

    Woo-Hoo! Down 40 lbs!

    Hope it is going great for you!!! I am from Mississippi, too, and am going to be banded on August 17--in Memphis. Please let me hear how it was/is! I am looking for a closeby friend to talk to--or to listen--as I am nowhere near any support groups for this! Good luck to you and hope to hear from you!

    Mississippi Bandsters!

    Hello, sallen 21! I am scheduled for Aug 17--and of course, am a little apprehensive and nervous--have been much more so, but am kind of getting excited/ready now. Dr. Woodman is supposed to be great. He did gastric bypass on my brother in December and he was very pleased. I went to the seminar in May, I think. Dr. W. is very straightforward/to the point. I think some people may be apprehensive of him because of this--but I think he might have to be that way to people like us--he wants us to listen! Let me hear from you. Seminar is VERY informative. Good luck and let me hear from you!
