Wow mexico huh..i can see your concerns. I actually was banded right here in KS. Im lucky my insurance covered my whole surgery. Its going well so far I have lost a total of 18 lbs so far and it came off in like 3 weeks then my weight loss stalled. My nutrionist said its a good start though...my starting weight was 216 so it was almost 10% and thats what they look for. Its a little discouraging but once I can workout hard it will start to melt off. I cant wait. Well keep me posted on what you do and I am here to chat if you need to.

Ive lost 18 lbs total...its slow but going.

Hey there! Its going slow but sure..since I started solid foods and I have no restriction im not losing a ton of weight but once I get restriction and really start exercising it should start to come off. So whats your time frame of being banded? Do you have a long time to wait?

Well I hope you have a great week looking forward to hearing from you.

Hi! Im Lyndsay...are you banded already..if so how long? I just got banded on june 10th..hopefully we can get to know one another.

Hey there! Im Lyndsay....i see you are new to the site. Are you looking in to getting banded? Where are you in the process? I was just banded on June 10th so just in the beginning stages. I look forward to getting to know you.

Today is the day right??? Good Meredith and keep me posted on how you are. I will be thinking of you and if you need me dont hesitate.

Hey sorry i didnt call you back yesterday..i had an appt at 130 and then went and talked to my nutrionist. How are you doing today?

Im on soft foods...but will be on solids next week.

So I was wondering if you could tell me what you eat on a daily basis. Im feeling really lost..or i guess what you ate in the beginning. I would appreciate it..im struggling and frustrated. Thanks in advance.

Are you home now or at work?
