I was banded in Doha at Al Amadi Hospital. (Private) the Governement hosp. does less expensive but you have a difficult time with followup. I've had my band for 17 months and have 10 cc fill. Lost 66 lbs(30 kgs) but it is work. Stalled right now. Hang in there.

6th fill..haven't hit my sweet spot yet. But still losing. Off to Paris next week! Hope I don't do too much damage:cool2:

I hear ya! I have lost 60 lbs and my airtravel experiences have been great. Fit in the seat, can put the tray down and walk easily between terminals! I go to the gym everyday and on the off day go bowling! I love my band TOO!:thumbup:

I am so happy!! I thought for sure traveling and eating out MOST of the time I would have not lost any or even gained some kgs back. Today I went for a fill and I had lost over 3kgs!! Yippee!! I'll be back on the forum now that I am home.:cool2:

I've been in the USA for a month now heading back to the Middleast end of July. I have been remiss visiting the website due to ALL THE traveling I've been doing. I've been steady at the gym, but I'm afraid I fell off the cheese wagon again:). I'll see tomorrow if I have maintained or lost any more. Last weigh in was 106.9 kg.(June 14) fingers crossed!

I drink up( well not right up) to eating and wait 30 minutes after to drink anything. Hardest part for me was not having a glass of wine with a good dinner. But I figure once in a while won't hurt me especially if it's a special occassion. My weight loss is going well over all.

Sweden was great< Liked Denmark too. Expensive but the dollar is taking a hit right now. Just had a weigh in and didn't do too badly Yippeee!!:thumbup:

Two weeks in Sweden and Denmark...fell off the cheese wagon, but I was careful and didn't over indulge. It was difficult eating when I am used to, small meals over the day. Got my protein with fish, and occassional egg and...cheese:drool: Go for another weigh in and hopefully a fill next week. I don't think I did too much damage..probably didn't lose but didn't gain either!!

It is illegal to tell anyone about any medical procedures without the permission of the patient.(IANAL) The Feds take this very seriously. You really should lodge a complaint to the office manager/doctor they want to protect themselves as well as you when it comes to a chatty employee.

I'm losing steadily. But I work the band. Exercise and diet! The only regret I have is that I didn't do it sooner. I'm impatient to be at my goal weight!:wink2:

Hear hear! I have lost about 40 pounds and it has been work. I follow a diet of 1400 cals(+/-) a day and exercise EVERY DAY! I know the band is a tool and am using it.:cry_smile:

Yes, it happens to me if I eat too much at once. It's uncomfortable until the food passes through the band. Might take a few hours.

Banded Jan.15/08 lost about 41 lbs.

I've been sweating quite a bit. Sometime I think it's flashes:huh2: During my workouts I'm dripping. Maybe it is an increase in metabolism.

Jiminey Cricket! I was on liquids for 6 weeks!! For 5 weeks I was on a 1400 cals/day, still am but I am eating solids. Banded 1/16/2008
