Congrats to you too.....I've had two fills for a total of 5.75 cc's out of a 10 cc band. Now I have restriction. If your Doc didn't put any fluid in at the time of surgery, you might need two before you can feel the band working.

Keep in touch.........

Heather, Thanks for the info

John

Hey Dennis - How are you ?? I am 4 lbs below goal @ 216. Holding steady....

How about lunch next week ??

Hi Dennis - I went on the total liquid diet yesterday. However, I started a modified program on my own to ease into this. Last week I started having one protein shake with a banana for breakfast, 2 shakes and a apple for lunch followed with a nice dinner with my wife so it actually helped me get into this week.

I'm waiting to hear from Aetna..........it's been a week already, so I'm getting on the phone today.

Hi Dennis,

Doing well. Just back from a week out on the boat. Even lost a pound. Down 77-78 lbs. I go for an adjustment tomorrow am.

How are you ?? Taking any vacation ??

Hi Dr. Vuong ...Is your book available yet? If so, please advise how to purchase it and what is the cost.....I'm scheduled for the LapBand procedure on 5/11/09 and would like to read before then....

Thanks

Thanks Xavier. It's been a wild experience to say the least. I feel good. Need to go in for a port revision Monday. I can't believe that I've lost so much weight that the port is sticking out of my belly. Should be a simple procedure.( I hope).

Don't compare......Your pace is your pace which is good. As long as you are losing, so what. We always tell each other this is not a diet but a journey. The journey is shorter or longer for each person. Still a great journey !!

Are you around this week?? Want to try and chat @ lunch?? Are you available Friday ?

Check out the lapband surgery on youtube.....I posted a new thread. Not gross. Very educational........

Dennis - Congrats - One yr later, down 120 lbs.....EXCELLENT. I'm down 110 lbs, 7 to go.....

Dennis - Do you work in lower Manhattan? Would like to pick your brain @ lunch sometime as I work in lower Manhattan on Broad St. & Exchange Pl. I am sch for surgery 5/11 @ NYU w/ Dr. Fielding.

Doing great, thanks. Can't believe the weight loss. Down 82 lbs and I feel 25 yrs younger. My wife thinks I'm a shopaholic as I've been buying a few pieces of clothing every week. lol.lol

Don't be terrified. Getting stuck wa my own fault. I would do this again in a heartbeat. Good Luck !!

Good luck tomorrow..........
