I was banded on Nov 9th 2005 and by end of January I had lost 23 pounds. Unfortunately, I had an accident the first week in February and I shatter my left leg and ankle. I was just released from physical therapy a week ago. I have gained my weight back and then some. SO, I was finally able to get a fill! I haven't lost any weight yet, but I am starting to walk on the treadmill again. This recent fill hasn't done much for me. I have a 10.75 band and currently have 1.8CC filled. I cannot believe I am 6months in and no weight loss, but life just throws ya curve balls, doesn't it???

I was banded on November 11th and I wanted to wish you luck! I am very thankful I did this for myself and it is sooooo worth it!! Stay positive, follow the doctor's guidelines and lean on this wonderful group of people here.

Hello all! I was banded yesterday (Nov 10th) and everything went well. I am suffering a bit from the gas pains, but trying to stay positive. I am trying to walk as much as I can, but everything still hurts. I've read a lot of the posts out there so I know it will get better. I am very thirsty and it is really HARD not to gulp water down! Learning to eat and drink again is more difficult than I thought it would be. Any suggestions?

Ga_girl! I have been observing for a few days now and it's about time I said hello! I have my banding surgery this Thursday Nov 10th. I am excited, but also nervous. I am thankful there are so many wonderful people available to talk to. This is an awesome site and will be at the top of my "support system". Wish me luck!
