Hi October Bandsters, Can believe with so many of you out there none of you are posting? Or are you a bit dissapointed like me? I have gone off the rails due to Christmas and cant seem to get back on, is anyone else having the same problems? Perhaps we can helps one another get back on track. I am having a fill at the end of the week, as I have only had one so far and I am really hoping this will sort me out..... HELP!!:thumbup::thumbup:

Hello October bandsters!!!!

In response to this quote I am not disappointed at all!!!! You should realize that you must do your part; this surgery is not a quick fix!!!! I just had my first fill on 1/26/10-3ccs and my weight loss is on point. I try to stay on point for I think about all I had to go through prior to the surgery.Just continue to work at it and don't rely on the disappointment, rely on your goal:smile2:

Dear October bandsters

I too was banded on October 27 and I am content with my lapband; reason being that prior to my surgery I read up on the expectations,pros and cons etc. Slow weight loss is expected but you must also exercise!!!!!

Pre op weight: 261

10/27/09 weight: 247

11/17/09 weight: 241

12/15/09 weight: 232-1st fill was scheduled but since I am losing weight correctly-2lbs per week I was able to eliminate my first fill. Keep the faith everyone. I'm happy that I had it done!!!:smile2:

Hello everyone I was banded on October 27 and I am happy to have doe it. If you follow your surgeon's directions the surgery will go fine and it's a necessity for the liqiud diet. Daveh7373 don't cancel!!!! You've come too far you can do it

Hi tgmar10

Congrats are in order; I am so proud of you!!!! How are you feeling??? My date is October 27 and yes I am ready to embark on my new life. Many more blessings to you and your new future.

:smile: Anyone out there have a October 2009 surgery date? Mine is scheduled for October 27 and I can't wait! I am having a bit of 'reality' anxiety I think.. now that the date is actually set - but I know this is the best decision for me.

Good Luck to all of us who are taking this important step in improving our health and starting a 'new life'

Would love to hear from other Oct 2009 bandsters... :seeya:[/Hi Darria my surgery is also October 27; I'm ready!!!-janet md
