Hello Fellow JuneBugs! I have lost 61 lbs! My begining weight was 240lbs and I am currently at 179lbs. I was hoping to be at 175 by my BANDiversary but I don't think that is going to happen. My band date was June 6... that was my birthday present to myself last year, my birthday is June 7! Even though I didn't reach my BANDiversary goal I am VERY happy with the success I have had. I LOVE MY BAND... I would do it again in a HEARTBEAT! It has changed my life for the better. I find that I have so much more energy. I enjoy doing things that I didn't enjoy before. I love to SHOP... it's great to be in 'normal' size clothes and not have to go to the 'PLUS' section anymore. I hope everyone else has had great success!! ~Marie~

Hello Fellow June Bansters.... This morning I get up and get ready to come to work. I ironed my blouse last night and got my pants out of the bunches of clothes I just picked up from the cleaners. I already knew I was going to wear my brown Capri pants with the cuff on them. (I wore those 2 wks ago) Well, I get my top on and go to put my pants on… and they’re too big. They wouldn’t stay up. You’re probably saying that’s great, right? Well, deep inside I know it’s great but I have been so ‘bummed’ about it all morning. I had to grab other pair of pants (which are too big, also but manage to stay up) So, why am I feeling blue about this and not jumping up and down? I know… CRAZY!

Hello Fellow June Bandies! It's been a while since I posted and just wanted to drop a quick line to give an update on myself. I was banded on June 6th and had my first fill on July 17th. I have lost a total of 27 lbs. Since my fill I haven't lost must weight, maybe 3 lbs. I'm discouraged with the fill because I feel like I can eat more now than I did before the fill. I am scheduled for my 2nd fill on Aug 18th and I can't wait...I'm hoping to have better restriction after that fill. Other than that... I LOVE my band! It has been the BEST thing I have EVER done for myself. I am now buying clothes 2 sizes smaller than before and feel great! I hope everyone is doing well!!!

How do I get information on the lap band conference?

Hello! I was banded on June 6th by Dr. Garth Davis. I live over off of Beltway 8 and blackhawk. Does anyone know of any support groups in the area?

I used Dr. Garth Davis. Loved Him! I hear his dad is great also.. Robert Davis!

Hi Shelly! I'm new to the Thirties group... I was just banded on June 6, 2008. So far, I love my band... it's the greatest thing I've ever done for myself! Sorry, to hear you had complications, hopefully your feeling and doing better. I'm not from East Texas... but live in Houston, Texas!!

My first FILL date is July 17th! I'm ready... I'm getting hungrier more frequent. I still eat small portions but man... I could eat a WHOLE lot more! Come on July 17th!

Hello June Bandsters! I was just wondering if anyone has had their 1st fill yet. If so, how was it? Did it hurt? I'm not a BIG fan of needles and I have my first fill next week, 07/17/08... so I was just hoping to get some feedback from anyone who's had one done already! Thanks!

I agree with you Tx Diva... it's to HOT in Texas to be outside trying to work-out / walk / jog. I have a WII FIT and I love it. I do about 30 - 40 mins everyday on it. I spent about 10 mins on the STEP and 2 rounds of the beginner boxing and then about 15 - 20 mins walking. It's so much fun... I love it!

Hello Everyone! I have just been banded on Friday, June 6th and have lost 14 lbs so far. I'm doing good... eating my mushies... drinking my protein drinks. My question is.... will I ever be able to eat a taco...shell and meat together? How about Corn or Flour Tortilla's? Chips? Thanks!
