Hey Jane, You've had incredible progress throughout your entire band-life. Do you have any before and after photos?

Hey! I was reading that you got the single incision surgery. That's awesome. Congrats! Would you mind posting pics of your incisions? I'm very curious because it's so new I can't find many "real life" views of it.

Congratulations. Your surgery date is coming up real soon. I'm super excited for your surgery because I've never seen a SILS scar. I really hope you share your experience and pics. Good luck and keep us informed on your progress. Everything will be great!

Hey Becky, how's things going? I'm doing great but am in need of a fill soon. I've been getting hungry and feel like things are going right through. Did you feel a big difference on your first fill(s)? I think I'm scheduled for the 21st in Apple Valley for a fill (...I think).

Hey! How'd you surgery go? I remember you said you were getting it done on the 27th, right. I hope all went well.

How's the band life working for you? I thought I'd come by and see how you're going.

I'm actually already feeling much better as far as gas pains and am really excited to introduce new foods because I'm starting to get hungry. Thanks for checking on me!

Hey. I keep stumbling on your profile, apparently we have similar interest. Anyway, I was curious what's your stats/progress? When were you banded, how much did you weigh, where u at now and what's your ultimate goal? I'm a pretty active big guy. I want to do a half marathon this summer, maybe full by December. I would love to hear more about triathalon training.

I, too, am back at work today. I'm feeling good. I am doing my best to not let anyone know I had any surgery so I'm pretending to not be in any pain and if I have to release gas I just go to the restroom. Is that TMI? Haha. Hope all goes well now that you're back at work.

So, how are you feeling? Band life all you thought it would be? :tongue2: I'm still having some gas discomfort, but definitely manageable. I hope it's treating you well. Did you take any pics of your incisions?

Hey! I'm a Friday the 13th bandster as well and I thought I'd come by and see how you're holding up. Still having bad gas pains? I recently picked up some Gas-X and have been trying to walk it off. I keep getting assured, slowly but surely. I wish you the best in all your success!

Thank you so much! I just had my surgery earlier today. The gas pains are stomach pains, I can feel. I think I need to use some pain killers. Thanks for checking up on me. I'm excited to start this journey.

Hey Drew! I just saw your pics on the before and after thread. You're quite the inspiration. I'm getting banded in less than 10 hours (I can't sleep) and hope that I can have even half of the success that you've had. Great job!

I think children are the best motivation for success because it's easy to give up and fail yourself, but when you're doing it for someone you love, failure is not an option... right? I'm getting banded tomorrow. I will check on you to see how yours went. Good luck!

How's the post-TT life? Feeling any better yet? I'm getting my band this Friday, the 13th... I hope I'm blessed with similar success that you've had. Wish me luck...

Hey! So, what's the story on your insurance? I just got my insurance verification back on Monday and looks like I'm getting banded this Friday, the 13th. Wish me luck and please let me know how all goes for you...

Yo! So, you've done it. You've motivated me to get it done. My surgery is on Friday the 13th (scary, huh?). Wish me luck...

Nice pics. You look great! I finally am getting banded this Friday, wish me luck...

Wow, your transformation is amazing! Great job. How have you tuck scars healed?

Wow! I just glanced through you album and what an amazing transformation. Great job! How do you feel after the extended tummy tuck? When was it done?

Under 1200 Calories a Day and working out? Do you have enough energy to make it through the day and/or workouts?

I hit you up on facebook. I understand about not openly talking about it outside of here... I don't want people to know other that this community. I haven't gotten the surgery done yet, still in the works on insurance and such, but I'd like to pick at your head to get advice on how you got your success if you don't mind.

Wow, you look great! Do you have any pics of before you got banded for comparison? And is there something wrong on my end? Every pic is like 1 inch tall

Excellent. Thank you so much for all the information. I did not realize that there were sessions available in the area. That link you provided me gave me many more options than I previously had. Thanks!
