big rick thats what doctor said we are similar in weight and weight loss goal although you were 30 lbs heavier at the start keep up the good work

i know the feeling even though im losing an extrordinary amount of weight (46 lbs) and its not even two months. doctor told me i was so far off the curve i didnt need a fill and that was 13 lbs ago i guess i wont be getting one in november either. as long as youre losing enjoy it. some others dont have your luck

has anyone had alot of weight loss within 2 months. i was operated on 7/31 and i have gone from 304 lbs to 258 lbs in not even 2 months thats 46 lbs and i havent had a fill yet. as a matter of fact when i was in hospital they had to take the prime out of the band because i was too swollen. any responses will be appreciated. P.S. i also eat well and because of my bad knee i havent exercised yet

hang in there girlie i was hospitalized twice after surgery for dehydration and i too wanted it out they had to take the prime out of the band. but it is well worth it on 9/30 will be two months post op and ive lost 46 lbs and i feel great ive got the most energy ive had in years. good luck i was miserable too

hi i was banded on 7/31 i too had your problem. did you stay overnight in the hospital if you did they loaded you up on fluids. im not trying to scare you but i was so swollen i couldnt swallow my own saliva i was hospitalized twice after surgery for dehydration as i could only drink a 1/2 oz of Water in 3 days try drinking warm tea in the morning this seems to reduce the swelling and take liquid motrin as that helped alot also good luck you will do great i hope this helps you

i had my surgery on 7/31 and went from 304 to 274 with no fills doc said i have the small band but ive been at this weight for over a week now so maybe i will get a fill on sept 10 keep the faith you will get there

been banded for almost 3 weeks now and i have had about 4 bowel movements anyone else like to talk about their irregularity and what you do about it ty

this is probably because right after surgery your innards are swollen and you couldnt eat as much .now the swelling is down but you probably have no restriction yet so you can eat like you can

according to Atkins you shouldnt have no more than 4 packets of artificial sweeteners a day i forget the the reason for it but i read it that particular part lots of times
