Hey, are you still on for Oct 1st? Keep me posted. Lori

You're welcome! You will be fine. My surgery only took 15 minutes and I've had no major complications.

Keep up the good work. Typically lower carb, higher protein eating plans yeild the most weight loss. I know your feet hurt so get on a bike and ride, ride, ride and oh, don't forget the swimming pools. At the rate you're going you should have 20 lbs off by you July 2rd appt. Hang in there and remember "no pain, no gain".

Hi Heidi! It's going GREAT for me. I am about 1.4 lbs shy of a 50 lb weight loss and I feel better than I have in a long time. How is everything going for you?

Hi Marty,

I'm doing really great. I had my second fill Nov 1st and much to my surprise, I lost 12 lbs the previous month. I am now at 31 lbs total since pre op diet. Hang in there. You will get some restriction. Remember to eat your protein as it keeps you fuller longer. That's what helps me the most and I get on the treadmill or do body pump which kicks my behind. Take care.

Hi Susan,

I had my first fill on Monday 9/29. It was a breeze! I now have 3.8 cc's in my band. You have nothing to worry about. Did I already tell you this. I feel I'm being repetative. Take care.

Hi. I'm not sure if I responded to your message or not. I'm sorry...I just saw this. We are now 4 weeks post op and I feel really good. Just had my first fill on Monday. They added 3.2 cc's to give me a total of 3.8 cc's. It was a pretty cool experience to say the least. How are you doing? Have you had your first fill yet? Take care.

Hi Theresa,

Yeah, my new Bday is September 2nd. I'm doing well now. I second guessed my decision about 4-5 days after I had the surgery, but now I'm okay. Recovery is going pretty good. Although I leaned up against my kitchen counter today and one of the incisions on the right side really hurt. It's the only one that hurts. The port incision is still tender but not like what I felt on the right side. I live in Indiana and am 44 years old. I wasn't over weight all my life. I got pregnant when I was 27 and got up to 219 only to get down to 170 and got married and well, it was up hill from there. That's why I'm here now. I guess I was enjoying life too much. Now, I'm really ready to enjoy life and not allow food to be the center of it. How are you doing with recovery? Did you ever experience the left shoulder pain? Oh, that was terrible. All in all I'm good. When do you have your first fill? Mine is scheduled for September 29th but I think that might be too early. I may delay it by a week. We'll see. Talk to you soon. Ann
