Hello everyone!!! I was banded on October 12th. I have lost 26 pounds and have hit a plateu, but I go for my first fill tomorrow, so I am excited.

nope didn't have to do that.

I was banded on October 12th and have not had a fill yet. I can eat almost anything, except for dryer things: breads, dry chicken, but the worst thing that does not go down....LUNCHMEAT! I cannot eat even the thin shaved ham! It always gets stuck. We went to eat Chinese food the other night and I had Pad Thai and that got stuck too. I had to excuse myself and go to the restroom to vomit it up...i can eat pasta, but it has to have a sauce that goes down good. The pad thai noodles were dry and not very gummy!

I have been banded since October 12th and have lost 22 pounds!!

I too paid for the band (just this month - October 12th) and it has been a great journey so far. I have lost 22 pounds just since my surgery and have gained so much since...willpower, the ability to live again and not be dependent on food, and it is amazing how different people treat you as you lose weight (sad, but true). Good luck my friend ~ God Bless you!!!

I have a question, y'all - how many fills can you get in a lifetime? Very curious... ~abatkins

You keep your chin up...I know it feels like you are in the endless cycle of chicken broth and jello, but it really does go up from here. You will find your stomach shrinking ~ you can do it! I am on my third week, and I am just now doing mushy foods, but I was the same way you were 2 weeks ago..........STARVED!!

Hello everyone! I had my surgery on October 12th and am 15 pounds down in 10 days... Just another 100 more to go!! :clap2: ~Avery
