Congrats!! That is GREAT. Keep up the good work.

You can do it, keep up the great work!

That is great. I am just a 2 pounds shy of hitting my half way mark. I am 3 1/2 months post op. Keep up the great work!!

I have this pain when I get hungry. I too was told that something my be pushing against my nerve. I kind of just grin and bear it as it isn't often. If things get worse then I will have them check.

Congrats!! I love the NSV's!! Can't wait until I hit another one!! Good luck with everything.

That is great I know loosing the weight I have lost makes me more energetic and just feel better all around. Keep up the great work.

I did WeightWatchers and documented everything I put in my mouth and every minute of exercize. With the 6 months of physician visits he just documented that I was following my diet and exercize program as necessary. Good luck

I wouldnt do it my self as I feel that I wouldnt want to be lied to. Follow what your heart tells you.

Great job! You can get them last few pounds off!

My name is Angie and I am new at this so bear with me.:wink_smile: I am 5 1/2 months into my 6 month supervised diet and Dr phase.:thumbup: I have had my group introduction, RN visit, Group Dietician visit, Individual Dietician Visit, Psychologist testing and on Thursday I meet my surgeon Dr. Christopherson. I am having my surgery at the Genesis for Beriatric Surgery Center in Davenport Iowa. I have BC/BS IL and hope that my approval is quick. Well, I will continue to read the post and I will let you all know how my visit with the surgeon goes.

I lost 38.4 before surgery and 25 since surgery. Im glad that I found this thread and Im not the only one wishing I was loosing faster. I know that we were told only about 1-2 pounds a week and I appreciate every pound I have lost and have worked by butt off for every single one. Keep us posted on your journey and good luck!

I was banded 9 days after you and I too have lost 25 pounds since surgery. 1-2 pounds a week is what they say is normal so were all right on. Great job and keep up the good work!

Your doing great! Im so sorry to hear that your port has flipped. I wish you well with your surgery tomorrow and hope you will not have any more set backs. Angie

I was banded in November 08 and my Dr told me that if I get the flu now it will be okay as I have healed. He did say if it got severe to call and get anti nausia medicine. Good luck.
