It's been so long I don't even know how to search for pics!

Exercising really did it for me...no matter what I was working out, even in the rain. Be blessed!

Yelp! You're right and that's what I was told, that the Water just flushes the food down. But I am hard headed and I still drink while eating :tongue2:. It will be two years since I got banded on 1/11 and things are fine. I have only had three fills (I think my last one was in July) and I don't think I have found my sweet spot. So I am on liquids until 1/11 to see if I can reach my goal of 170 (yeah right!). Be blessed!

Those are very good questions! Once my pcp thought I had a fatty liver, but after an ultra sound they really couldn't tell. He said the only way was to go inside and do a biopsy. Needless to day I didn't opt to do that, but when I got banded they did a biopsy and my liver was fine (thanks God). So I guess they can't tell unless they are inside.... Be blessed! Sheila

Congrats on being banded!!!! I can only give you some of the instructions that was given to me. I was instructed only to drink Clear liquids for two weeks so the band could heal around my stomach. Unfortunately, I can't answer the stitching question, because I had the glue. As for pain, the only pain I had was gas pain and it was baaad for a while But it WILL pass!! I hope this helps, I'm sure others can assists with the stitching questions. Good luck. Be blessed! And get ready for the new YOU!!! Sheila

Hi Sula, Today I've decided to get the last 13 pounds off by my birthday November 4th. But, I want to do more strength training...I need to tone up!! I've only had two fills and I don't want anymore (if I can help it), I just want to put in the hard work and discipline. So good luck to you!!! Be Blessed!
