Christine, thanks for the welcome. only a few of the doctors that i work with know that i have a lapband. they are very supportive of me, and of course they say that i am not that heavy. They don't live in my body and are just being nice. I have been looking for bariatric doctors in my area and have not found very many, less if you look for ones with experience. Sunshine, glad to hear that you are taking it easy with the protein if you have kidney problems. Talk to your doctor when you see him. Remeber, losing weight can be a slow process but at least the scale is not going up. Jen, I always thought it was funny that my stomach growls so much. I was not really hungry, but my stomach made a lot of noise. do you have to go back to work soom? Have a great day! thanks for making me feel welcome.

I recieved my op report from Dr. V. I wanted to take it to my primary doctor when I went for my appointment. When I went for my appointment my doctor cut my blood pressure med in half for a trial period of two weeks. I think this in the right direction. Yes!

yes, i noticed the same amount of weight. i hope I will feel some restriction after my next appointment

i was banded on 12/12 and will be going on 1/29 for a fill. I can eat just about everything and try to make good choices. i am disappointed that i am not losing any more weight but i am not dieting, i just eat less.

I am hoping to go and get my fill on Jan 29. I have to check with Laura to make sure that date is OK with them. The office is very nice and it is nice to see Dr. G again when we have the fills. So your last fill was in the beginning of Dec? According to my scale I have lost about 16 pounds. It is hard to limit my eating without any restriction in my band, but I am trying because I don't want to gain my weight back. cindy

hi brenda, i remember meeting you. it was before my surgery, my surgery was 12/12, how is it going? Right now I do not have any fluid in my band so there is not much restriction. my incisions look good and I am eagerly awaiting getting a fill. I went JN 2 but Dr. G wasn't able to fill me at that time. Cindy

Hi! I am Judy's sister and I got banded on 12/12/07. I am doing well. I went for my first fill on Jan 2,2008 but i wasn't able to tolerate a fill so Dr. G said to come back in three weeks. It was very disappointing but he is the expert and I trust his judgement.
