Have you been getting your fills regularly ?

Honestly I don't remember how many cc my band holds.

Jan 13, 2015 surgery date November 3, 2015 lost 122 pounds 19 pounds to goal

I'm so proud of you both for taking the steps to restart your weight loss journey. I've only been banded since January of this year but I see the key is getting fills as needed. I had my last fill the end of June and I'm still pretty tight. I'm nervous about not getting a fill this month per my doctor's advice but I think I'm still going to go in for accountability purposes. I should be ready for another fill in August.

Hi all. I was banded 1/15/15. This has been the best 6 months ever. Pic on the left was taken at the end of June and on the right December 2014.

That must be so exciting! I'm so happy for you.

It's great that you have started trying to lose weight already. The transition to your new life won't be such a shock to your system.

As far as the surgery I've done great. No issues at all. I'm down 41 pounds since Jan 1 when I started the prep and procedure on Jan 15. I've been sick the past 2 weeks and on prednisone and antibiotics so that has slowed my weight loss down but I've not gained.

So excited for you! I'm a month post-op. You'll do great!

Well I lost 4 pounds this past week! I just got back from the doctor. I have Flu B & Bronchitis & treating me for walking phnumonia.

Are you eating as you should or are you eating slider foods? Make sure you get in all your protein :-)

Thank you @gowalking. It's just a little frustrating.

Stressing a little. Since January 1 when I started my prep until February 12 I has lost 37 pounds. I've not lost anything since. I've had bronchitis and a sinus infection for about 2 weeks and wonder if the medication could be playing a part in this?

I used GNC Total Lean 25.. 25g of protein per shake and 170 calories

I have 2 small incisions. One just below the breast line and the other in my belly button. My port is just above my belly button.
