I had my surgery on December 7th, 2009. On November 9th I started my pre-op diet all together I have lost 39.5 lbs., three clothing size and around 7 points off my BMI. I had my first fill on Feb. 9th he put in 4cc and I'm on clear liquids for the next 72 hours. Would not change a thing best thing I have ever done for myself. Just make sure that you do what your doctor tells you to do. Good luck it is wonderful to lose the weight.:rolleyes2: Not sure how to update the tickerfactory.com

Hi there I was banded on Dec. 7th,2009 and you are right it is life changing. It took 11 months to have my insurance approval and I'm so glad that they did. I was just this week able to start exercise and I never thought that I could get up at 4:20 a.m. and go and get in a swimming pool but by Friday I was looking forward to it. I also feel better the rest of the day. When were you banded? Keep up the good work.:smile2:

So since I started that on November 9th until now I have lost 39.5 lbs, two dress sizes and I feel GREAT!! I have not had a fill yet, but I go back to see the doctor on Feb. 9th,2010. I hope that everyone is doing well.:thumbup:

how are you doing now? I guess your surgery is done and you are on a liquid pahse still, or mush phase. I had mine (re-done) on Dec 23rd, after a failed one on Dec 17th. I had to have major diaphragm surgery before they could do the first one, causing the band to seal and nothing would go down. I then needed emergency surgery to take it out and put in a new one. But today I am six days into recovery and feeling fairly good.
I don't need a drop of pain medication, nor nausea meds, so I consider I am on the mend. I becamse so dehydrated from the first one, not knowing nothing was going down...threw up three times and was really really sick.
In my case, a doctor I did not choose did the first surgery and my own doctor "assisted." It was not done properly and I could have died. I could hardly breathe, either. the hospital let me go home before I could rink or breathe. lots of mistakes, but the good news is that I got my own doctor after all and he did it right.

Good luck I will be banded on December 7th and looking forward to it. -
I think that I would call on Monday to get something sit up for after my surgery. It may just be a cyst or something else.
