Good for You!!! I was banded by Dr. Marley in April. He is the best!! I have lost close to 50 lbs. Please remember this is NOT a miracle weight loss plan. You must adhere to portion control and be willing to be patient. Best of luck to you! J,

Hey wannabehealthy, just wondering where you've been and how your doing. My one year anniversary is comming up next month. As of today, I have lost exactly 70 lbs and only have 12 or so more to go. Hope your year flys by and the weight drops off just as fast. Let me know how your doing...
Good Luck

I have a feeling that the reason Nurses who are trained to access ports have not been encouraged to do so is that it may be a threat to a very lucrative business , that being the fills after the proceedure. I would be anxious to know if the Nurses working in the surgeons office are trained to do fills or if not why not?

magic bullet or blender ??

Magic bullet. It is compact, and who wants to have a large appliance to keep on the counter, and who wants to wash a large blender container..............!!! -
Suggestions Please On Best Tasting Protein Shakes

carnation instant breakfast mixed with a "magic bullet" realitively inexpensive, and very tasty. Joyce -
I am having my first fill this Wednesday. I had an unremarkable recovery post band....however although I have not been on a scale in 3 weeks, I feel that I have not lost any more weight. I may have even gained a few pounds back that I lost pre and immediately post op. I feel like I never had anything done!!! Has anyone else had the same experience? I sure do hope the fill stops my hunger. Oh and I should add, I have stayed away from breads, goodies etc. However I know my portions were off of the recommended amount. Please let me know if anyone has a similar experience. J.

Hmm... Maybe my link didn't work. Try this - just go to youtube.com. Then search for "Becca's Band Blog". This should bring you to all 3 of my blog entries and you can click on Episode 3. Hope that helps!

What to do until fill????
wannabhealthy replied to singermama's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, I could have written your post!! I had my band placed on April 8th, now that the swelling is down, I could eat anything!!!! I am trying real hard to stay on track, but that 6 week post op before a fill is brutal. Has anyone had a fill before the 6 weeks? My DR. will not consider it. J. -
Please do not allow your self to dehydrate. You may need to see your surgeon and he may order iv fluids if you are unable to tolerate drinking due to nausae. I was banded on 4/8, had very little pain but because nausaeted day 5 and yesterday had to have 1 liter of iv fluids. Today I am feeling very good. J.

My particular wish is too buy a lovely cotton summer dress, and NOT wear my berkinstocks with it!! Nope a sexy heeled shoe would just be divine!! J.:thumbup: -
how much time to take off from work.
wannabhealthy replied to alsorl's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on April 8th, went back to work yesterday, unfortunately it was interrupted by this awful nausae, so I only made it for 7 hours. I am confident this is only temporary and I did get an anti nausae script from my Dr. Did anyhone else get nausaeted 5-6 days out? What worked for you? J. -
