Congrats, I know the feeling. It's been awhile since I loved shopping as well, I went from 20 to 16 and I can actually enjoy trying on clothes :-)
-
I can feel my port. I'm down 36 pounds. It doesn't stick out too much
-
Thanks so much for the encouragement. I'm definitely a slave to my scale. I weigh myself every morning and night. I will be putting it away for a month. I have a trainer, so I do a different body part everyday. Inches I'm losing, I guess I equate weightloss with pounds instead of inches. A normal day for me is a Special K Protein Shake for Breakfast, Speacial K Cereal bar for a snack, Smart Ones for lunch, Snacks is either fat free pringles, fruit, wheat thins and laughing cow cheese. I work alot and somethings dinner isn't an option for me, but if I do have dinner salad, cereal or smart ones.

Congrats, we're in the same boat.

I live in Queens but I border Long Island and I've had a lot of the same problems. I tend to stick to Olive Gardens for Soup and salads, in the city I've had Carmine's and Sofritos. Another piece of advice, I don't go anyway where I can't look up the menu online before I go. Good Luck

I began my weightloss journey at 250 and I lost 36 pounds since my surgery on 10/7/2009. I am so discouraged. I have 4cc in a 10cc band. I feel like I'm stick at 214 pounds, but I ccan admit that I am going down in dress sizes, all my clothes are baggy and loose. I went from a 20 to a 16.....I know that's good, but I wish the scale wiould show my achievements. Yes, I go to the gym 5x week and I just got a fill giving 4cc 4/1/2010 and it is definitely helping, I'm actually starting to feel restriction. any advice

I love Muscle Milk light

Congratulations.....wishing you continued success
-
This is one of my biggest worries after losing weight, that my port will be visible..... ;-(
-
I love muscle milk light and I add blueberries, strawberries or bananas.

Congrats and good luck :thumbup:

I had this procedure on 10/7 and it was done by Dr. Geiss......I have a small smiley face at my belly button. You can't even tell I had surgery.
-
Hey michelle, sorry for the late response.....I started at 250, 235 day of surgery and currently 220. I'm going to Dr. Geiss office today for a fill and weigh-in. Thankfully enough my insurance didn't require a 6 month diet.....my consult was on 6/26 and my original date was 9/21, but my pcp didn't clear me in time, so it was moved to 10/7 due to a cancellation. The process takes how long as you want it. Before my consult, I had already scheduled most of my appointments with the cardio, pul, nut and psy. I was able to get have the sils procedure so I have a small incision at my belly button looks like a smiley face. Its learning how to eat. My aim is qnzdimelady718 if you want to know more. Good luck :-)

Hey everyone I got banded by Dr. Giess on 10/7.
-
I got my first fill yesterday a well and I feel restirction as well. Excited lol
-
My incision was bruised as well, but now the bruising is gone....everyone heals differently
-
When I first had the surgery I could feel my port with no problem, but im over a month post op, I could still feel it a little but not as much as before.
-
Not sure how soon is too soon, but I had my surgery 10/7 and my doctor didn't allow me to go back to work until the 10/26.
-
tomorrow makes a month since my surgery and I still get the shoulder pains every now and then. walking and a warm pack helps....get well soon
-
you forgot me lol
Hi Everyone,I work with dataases for a living so after seeing numerous versions I decided to go back to the beginning and add everyone in the list - I removed the duplicates and sorted by date and name.
So this should be the final list (I hope).
Congrats to all 77 October Bandsters!!!

wow, we had the same situation, I was banded 10/7 and on 10/13 they had to remove alll 3 ccs because I was swollen and the band was too tight too soon. I'm much better now, I go for my first fill on 11/17....can't wait to get the restriction back......get well soon
Great Results....
