Lacey, Are you saying that you have lost 17lbs since surgery on Jan. 17? If so, with a loss of 17 lbs in two weeks, you should be leaping for joy!

Nume130, You have been doing great at averaging a loss of over 10lbs/month. I don't know your height or age, but go for the 130 and I'll bet you will look terrific. 130 is my goal also, so we should keep in contact about our progress. I'm 5'5" tall and 56 yrs young. LKM

Hi everyone, I was banded on 1/15 and feel pretty good today. The first two days were really painful when I moved. If I just stayed in a prone position, I was ok but getting up and down was a bear. My incisions look better than I thought they would and hopefully the scaring won't be too bad. I walked today for about 30 minutes and did ok, so everything is looking up.

I was banded yesterday as well and still in a lot of pain. It is somewhat better than last night and I am sure it will be better tomorrow.

I will be banded in San Diego on Jan. 15th by Dr. Horgan at UCSD Medical Center. I would assume that he would do fills even if the procedure was done somewhere else. I believe that he said fills were $250 each but I am not absolutely sure about that #.

I can't wait. Ladies, we have all struggled with our weight, I am confident this will make our lives a lot easier. Stay Positive!!!

Hi everyone. I live in San Diego and will be banded on Tues. Jan. 15 by Dr. Horgan at UCSD Medical Center. I'm excited.

Greeneyez, my surgery is on the 15th also in San Diego. Good luck. We should follow each others progress.

Hi everyone, I am anxiously awaiting Tuesday. I have been on a liquid diet for two weeks and have lost almost 10 lbs. That leaves 43 to go. Like many of you, I have lost and gained so many times in the past 25 yrs., I quit counting. I just can't maintain. At 56, I am counting on this to be my answer. :smile:

Crystal, Thanks for the quick action.

How do we get added to the list? I am excited and ready to go!

Longhorn, 10lbs a month would be fantastic if I know it will be gone forever. How long were you on a liquid diet after surgery and how did you feel the first few days?

I am scheduled for surgery on !/15/08 and am excited but nervous. I am 56 with a BMI of 30.5. Any lower and the Dr. could not do the lap band. As many of you have done, I have lost and gained 20 to 45 lbs over and over again. I just cannot maintain it. It has gotten harder and harder to motivate myself to loose. :help:I now need to loose 53 lbs. Are there others in my age group that have gone through the process?
