Just one question.... can you say though that once you hit your sweet spot it really helps the weight come off so much easier?

I am right there with you Gorda123. I was banded March 31st 2010. I was about 280lbs on the day of my surgery, loosing 20lbs, during my 2 week liquid diet. I am currently @ 265. I have a 10CC band, and my first fill was 3CC and my second only .5CC its frustrating to me since I feel like I can eat anything and I have noooooo restriction at all. Feels like I am doing this with only will power and dieting, which I couldve done without the band. I have days where I wonder if the band was the right thing to do. But then I look @ peoples stories and just keep telling myself I will EVENTUALLY hit my "sweet spot" Im just hoping sooner than later. I am scheduled for my 3rd fill June 28th, so hopefully they give me a little more and I can experience even a little restriction. : )

Mexico is the only place you can go. No where in the US will do someone under 18.

Hey Everyone! Not to sound too happy or ok.. but my surgery couldnt have gone any better! NO Problems, or complications. I definetly had the burpy feeling for about 3 days after the surgery but I feel almost 100%. I am ready to start excersizing again! I wish my incisions would just heal up already so I could get back to it! : ) As for diets, I also cannot believe how many different ones there are from different doctors. It blows me away! For me I was on a clear liquid diet for the first week (apple juice, Jello, broth, water) then now the secind week its all liquids... then week three mushies, but I have already added in some mashed potatoes. I drink

Hey! I am Getting Banded on 3/31 and am sooooo excited! I CANT WAIT! I am 21 years old 300lbs and would love to get down to my first goal of 180.... : )
