You look amazing!! Good for you!!!

Sorry for the delay, just saw this. I'm doing great, how are you doing? I just had my first fill on November 18, which was exciting now I'm feeling a little more restriction prior to it I wasn't as much and was able to anything just in slightly lesser quantity.

So happy for you!!! Dr Coburn was my surgeon too, you're in great hands! Yay!

Getting my first fill tomorrow and I'm excited!! Had my surgery on October 15th and have been feeling hungry for the last 2 weeks so hoping tomorrow will make a difference.

Hi Mary, It was a day surgery for me, I was in and out in less than 4 hours. I was up and moving almost right away, it was painful but I forced myself to slowly walk (as recommend by everyone). The walking helped tremendously with the recovery and the left shoulder gas pains. The shoulder pain luckily only lasted 2 days for me. I had my surgery on a Wednesday and was back at work the following Monday.

@@janeykins1 I'm the exact same way, also getting my first fill on Tuesday and hoping it'll help with hunger. Good luck to us ☺️

Congrats on your decision you will do great! Only been banded for 4 weeks and loving it, still have a lot to learn but it definitely helps when it nudges to tell you that your full!

Good luck! Exciting times a head. Glad it's going well so far on the liquid diet, the weight loss from being on those shakes for 2 weeks was totally worth it. I was nervous too, but come here for support all the time. I'm only 3 weeks post op and have 0 doubts that this was the best decision I've ever made. Good luck to you and keep us posted on how things go. ????

You look amazing! Congrats on reaching your goal!

Thank you all so much for the support, I learned something new and ill definitely hang in there!!

Should that be the case? I had my surgery on October 15 and having my first fill on November 18. I do get full faster, but I feel like I'm always hungry? I'm almost forcing myself to feel restricted.

Love how positive you are! Hope all went well, keep us posted!!

I'm on the same boat. Haven't lost a pound since I switched to purée food phase, even though I'm doing everything right (I hope). Hang in there, I'm sure the pounds will come off. Off to measure myself, can't believe I didn't do it earlier.

I live in Toronto and Dr. Christopher Coburn from Smartshape weight loss clinic did my surgery less than a month ago. His clinic is based out of Mississauga but I believe they may also have a Yorkville office.

Thank you all so much! I will definitely stay away!
