Hi Jersey girl, How are you. I am sorry I havent been intouch. I was just thinking of you and thought I would send a text.
How have you been doing since your surgery? Have you had a fill?
I have been doing well. down to 215 . My weight has been slow but steady. I am trying to exercise more now...hoping that will help.
I may call Dr Strom's office soon for my second fill.
I hope you have been enjoying the beautiful weather.
Let me know how you are doing.

Hi Patriciann
I am so sorry. I didnt see this text till now. Thanks for writing. I am doing well. I have had one fill. I think I may call Dr Strom for another soon. How often have you been filled since October? Have you had any soda since your band? if so how did you do?
I do not go to the meetings, maybe I should for support!
I hope all is well with you.
Best~ M Duke

I was banded on the 5th of march. I have had soda a few times...I have not had a problem with it. I love a ice cold diet coke on a hot day. I have found I can have most anything so long as I take it slow and have less than I did before the band. Good luck and keep up the good work! Happy summer to you... M Duke

Hi Mari, I saw your post to JerseyGirl and noted that I too had Dr. Strom. I'm totally in love with him, lol. I've lost 55 pounds since Oct and feeling great. Have you been going to the monthly meetings at Mountainside? How have you been doing?

Hi Guys Can you please tell me what PB and slimmed means? I just had my first fill last Friday. I was banded in March. The only thing that has happened so far is after eating too fast the food felt like it was stuck in my chest...scared the hell out of me, I could hardly breath. Just wanted to learn the lingo :-) Thanks M

I was banded on march 5th. I had my first fill last week. I meet with a few people at the hospital while waiting for my fill...we compared notes because I have had a little pain on the side where the port is located. Two out of five have pain ( feels like a bee sting) sometimes it feels tight almost like a pulling sinsation? I ask my Doc and she said it was normal and that we are all different...I still feel tender and it has been eight weeks! The good news is I am down almost thrity pounds... Wishing you well!!! M

Hi Guys I was banded on the 5th of March. everyday I second guess my disicion...I do understand fear...thats for sure! I just wanted to say thank you for making me feel better :-) I have lost 25 pounds so far. It does keep me from binge eating ( that was always a problem for me). I wanted to back out too, then a friend of mine put it to me like this. If I needed a pace maker for my heart I would get it... If I needed a hip replaced I would get it. I needed something to help me control my hunger to help me maintain a healthy weight...I got it! Good luck friend. M

Hi I was filled last week for the forst time. I have had tuna with light mayo...thinking that would be ok? It felt like it got stuck in my chest! It took about five mins before it went down. Has anything gotten stuck like that before? STRANGE!!! Question. What is "slimmed"? I have seen it used before but never asked anyone what it ment. I hope things get better for you. Keep me posted...

I had surgery on the 5th of March. I was so scared, I tried to back out of the whole thing! I thought what the hell am I doing?
A friend of mine really kept me on track. I started out at 260 pre opt I am down to 227.
I gained too much weight with the kids and never lost it.
The hardest part of the surgery was a reaction to the meds and my skin was ichy, I was a littlt sore afterward , it wasnt that bad. take your pain meds and you will be fine.
Two weeks after my surgery my little brother passed away so I had to go down to Virginia...it was difficult for a lot of reasons. I didnt do well with my eating but I am getting back on track.
If you have any questions feel free to ask. Stay in touch!
