Hi, I was banded on August 31 and have lost 46 pounds so far. I too am on a CPAP and will be having my pressure reduced to 12 from 14 also. I havn't had any problem with gas using the CPAP. Good job on the weight loss

I had my surgery on August 31 and had my first fill on November 2nd. I lost 35 pounds during that time. Also, my band was drained during surgery. So, I had no fluid in it at all. I thought that I wouldn't need a fill either. I hadn't lost in 3 weeks and I was pretty much able to eat whatever I wanted. I now have restriction again and feel awesome

Hi, I've lost 30 pounds the first month and have not lost a pound the last 2.5 weeks.

Hi, I was banded on August 31st and have lost 30 pounds so far. I haven't had a fill yet and seem to be adjusting pretty well. Good Luck Chris

Hi, I was banded on August 31st and I have found that Trader Joe's Protein Pazazz is pretty awesome.

I had a physical last Wednesday and talked to my doctor about Lap Band surgery, he said I was a candidate. I've been on Weightwatchers for 5 years and lost 50 pounds. I have been under direction of a dietician/nutritionist. I live in Northern Cal and work for UC Davis and have Healthnet. I received a call from my doctors office and was told that I was approved...wow...didn't expect that to happen so fast. I am waiting for a call from Dr. Waldrep in Roseville. Wooo Hoooo I'll keep everyone posted thanks
