After my fills...it's just 2 days liquid...and back to eating..boy to me 10 days is way to long to stay on liquids...jmo

u look great! did insurance pay for this? if u don't mind me asking?

I was banded by Dr. Julio Texiera at Roosevelt hospital in Manhattan, we were told at the seminar that we would have to wait one year after surgery for PS, he was so informative!:thumbs_up:, I will really need a tummy tuck and these bat wings removed!:thumbs_up:

Good luck with your surgery! will keep u in my prayers, u look great! your stomach looks great compared to mine, i've lost 63 pounds in 5 months I excercise 4 times a week at the gym, my arms look like bat wings, excercise will not help them, is your insurance paying for it? i'm saving now because I don't think mine will:sad: unless I have rashes and is prone to infections.

I live in the Bronx The lapband is the best thing i've done for myself! good luck:thumbup:

I've lost 63 pounds since Jan 24th and I had my first fill 2 weeks ago I have good restriction no problem with foods so far.:blushing:

Please do a lot of research and go to support groups, the band is just a tool, and I think your eating is psychological, go to the groups and u will get so much insite, I had my surgery on Jan. 24th i've lost about 63 pounds so far, good luck :blushing:

Congrats, I had my surgery 1 Day before u, at Roosevelt hospital in n.y.c, if I lost 91 pounds in 15 weeks, I would jump so high and hit the ceiling! I guest it's true that men lose faster than women, keep up the good work.

My skin is not too bad, but my arms are a mess, I go to the gym 4 times a week, and i'm told only the top of my arms will tone, my stomach hangs, but not too bad, i'm using the ab machine, and I see some inprovement! i've been heavy all my life(from age 11) i'm from Antigua,W.I i've been here since I was 5 years old, i'm so happy with my band! my doctor told me to only sip water, I did it in the liquid phase, but not now, and i'm fine! i'm going for my first fill on the 30th, I had my surgery on Jan.24th and as of yesterday, i'm done 62 pounds!best thing i've done in my life:)

It took me two weeks! I didn't like that feeling at all! But I peed like crazy, it was after I went on pureed foods!

I had my surgery on Jan. 24th and I have not had a fill yet, i'm still losing, but I think I need one, because it's taking more to make me full now.

No i'm not shy:) i've been really busy going to the gym 4 times a week, i've lost 58 pounds since my surgery in Jan. and I feel great! and the inches are coming off fast too! I will try to post more often.

I was banded Jan 24th 2008, i've lost 42 pounds already. I don't know how to post pictures:( I was banded by Dr. Julio Texiera At St. Lukes/Roosevelt Hospital in N.Y.C
