Thank you Greytz.... Good luck to you... it's a tricky journey...

I too have not done low carb. I want in...

well, I got my fill and it was well worth it... I have 3cc now and I know I have my band... I have trouble eating certain foods now when before I could eat the house... I had only lost 4 lbs in 4 mths, but now I am down a couple more in a couple weeks...I am between 180 and 178 now... I fluctuate alot... my goal is 140 for now... keep up the good work! I think we will be fine...

I was banded on Jan 9th 2009. I started at 213 and now at 182. I have been here for 2 + mths now... I have an appointment on the 30th for a fill, but I am totally ready to start losing again... I only have a 4cc band and I now have 2cc fill... Am I doing ok? :biggrin:

It's always good to hear words of encouragement. I started at 213 and now 180-182. I have been here for at least 2 mths now. I need my sweetspot. I was banded on Jan 8, 2009. I still feel some restriction, so I was afraid to get a fill. I have 2cc in my 4cc band. Any advice... :thumbdown:

you are where I wanna be.... any advice...i was banded on jan 8th 2009. started at 213, now between 180-182. I have been here for over 2 mths now, and im feeling content, but I know this is not where I wanna be. Can you give me advice on what you eat/ example? I am looking to get a fill soon hopefully that will help... And I do exercise and protein first... thank you, Kissy

My bmi was only 30. I started at 213 and I am now 180... I was banded in Mexico at dr. kuri and associates on Jan 8, 2009... Although I was self-pay... They treated me like a princess, I would'nt have traded this experience for nothing. I highly recommend them... Good Luck

Thank you for your advice... Good luck...

I think more restriction will definately help... I kinda feel like now that I can eat more, I dont have the band. I still feel some restriction, but not enough. thank you for taking time out for those in need... :thumbdown: I am doing pretty good on what I eat now, I just needed some motivation...

Thank you for your words of encouragement!!! I am doing better on my eating, and still working out as much as possible... Good luck to you also...:thumbdown:

I was banded on Jan 8, 2009. My starting weight was 213, I am now 180-183. I have been juggling between this weight for 2 mths now... I have joined the gym, but I find my self wanting to slip back into old eating habits... I probably need a fill but finances are tight, I can eat anything, just less of it. I need to get back mind set, only to eat bandster meals. any advice?

I am self employed w/ no insurance.... I went to Mexico in Jan and had my surgery done for 7,500... I was treated like a queen.... My doc name was Dr. Pedro Kuri... Lapbandsurgery.com..... good luck

I was banded on Jan 8th 2009. I had lots of port pain...sometimes I would sleep on my port side and could'nt hardly walk to next day.... I still get sore in my port area.... Make sure you try not to sleep at your port site... good luck... Kissy

My band is only 4cc... My doctor says it depends on your size and how much you need to lose.... KISSY

I was banded in Mexico on Jan 9th 2009... I am looking for a fill doc in or around WV....
