Hello all, I have been traveling this past month, but feel like I did will. I feel good and my clothes are loose. I didn't lose anything, but didn't gain anything either. I had my second fill last Friday and feel restriction for the first time since surgery. I am going to try for 10 pounds this month. I haven't had a lost since last month, so I am due. Take care

My ending month weight is 237. Down a total of 25 pounds. Yeah ~ I have a few pairs of pants that fall off. That is a good feeling. My goal for February is 10 pounds. :thumbup:

Hi everyone, I just got my first fill today so I will weigh in on January 31. I have gained and lost the same pound for a week. Just happy it was only 1 pound. Hopefully I will meet my 5 pound goal by Saturday. Thanks! :bored:

Finally have found some other December bandsters. I would like to join this group. I am joining late so I will set a realistic goal. surgery date: 12/12/08 heighest weight: 262 preop weight: 262 current weight: 241 weight loss since surgery: 21 my end goal is to be: 125 goal for the rest of January ~ 5 pounds Can I use the banner as well?

I also had surgery on a Friday and went back to work on the following Thursday. I moved slow, didn't drive to work, and made sure that I didn't lift anything. If you can return on Thursday, you would benefit from the extra day of rest knowing that your last work day was Friday...leading to two more rest days on the weekend. Just my thoughts....I know everyone is different.

I am on a 2 year work contract in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic. I have been living here since August 2008. Before I moved, I started the initial inquiry with Global Surgery Center in June 2008. It took 6 months of phone calls, emails, and research before I made the decision to move forward with the surgery. So glad I did. I was banded on 12-12 by Dr. Leino at the Centro de Cirugia Plastica y Especializada. I have not had any problems since the surgery. I received the best care possible! They almost didn't perform the surgery because I had a cold. I received breathing treatments all night long before the surgery and for 24 hours after the surgery. During the surgery, they discovered that I had a hernia and it was removed. Again, so glad they did because I feel fantastic. (no extra charge). I am one month post-op and have dropped 21 pounds. I am starting to feel like I can eat anything, so before I do, I will visit the doctor this Thursday for my first fill. (fills are free ~ included in the price of the surgery).
