First fill
Went for my first fill today, June 27th and was filled with 2cc's. So now I have 2.5cc's in the band, .5cc's was put in the band at surgery. I have the APL 14cc band. Was told that they used the larger band because of the size of my stomach. Now I am on liquids for 2 days..... It is all worth it!!! It's a grrrrrrrrreat tool!!! Fran

Weigh in... how much have u lost?
TWO MORE POUNDS!!! TOTAL OF 31LBS!! WOOOOOOHOOOO!!! I have never been so happy in my life...other than the birth of my children. And to think I will NEVER see those pounds again!!! I went to a buffet yesterday and was able to just take a bite of this and that...I even amazed myself!!...LOL This is going to work!!!! YESSSSSSS!!!! Fran :grouphug:

Newbie looking for advice,friendship and weight LOSS!
Don't get discouraged!!! It will all be worth it in the long run. I know how you are feeling but your stomach needs time to heal and having liquids is the best way. I used to have jello and broth and sf popsicles. I am a stomach sleeper myself and it took almost 2 weeks after surgery before I could sleep on my stomach. As a matter of fact slept for almost a week in the recliner because it was more comfortable than the bed. Once you see the weight melting off of you, you will be happy you made the decision to have the band. I would do it in a heartbeat again if I had to choose. Have a great day!! God Bless!!! Fran

Anyone out there?
Sounds like that would be fun! I get home by 12:30pm and I am off from work on Friday and Saturday. I wanted to go to the support group meeting at my doctor's office. I was trying to find others in Henderson who would want to carpool. All depends on if they had their surgeries with Dr Atkinson or Dr Soong. A social gathering would be super too!! Having others going through the same journey.

Anyone out there?
SWCC is Surgical Wieght Control Center. That is the office of Dr Atkinson and Dr Soong. They have support groups there at the office and I think they are twice a month. I would like to attend at least once a month for support of others who have had the surgery with these doctors. Have a great day!! God Bless!!! Fran
