Hey Girlie....I had gotten my fill 8/17 I believe it was my 3rd and it has made a BIG difference! I also sucked it up and am doing the treadmill for 30 minutes 4 times a week......I don't think I can do more than that being that I hate to work out....but you never know. I now weigh 197! So this month I have lost a total of 7 pounds and it hasn't even been a full month yet!! I hope you are doing better. Please let me know how eveerything is going..ttyl

Hi Ms. C, It's funny I posted a blog yesterday about only losing about 10 pounds in 3 months and looking for someone who is going through the same situation. Then I came across your post. I just got my third fill Monday and the restriction is better than the previous....I feel it now. I also HATE to workout but I saw that I needed to do something.....I am paying an arm and a leg for this so I started walking for 30 minutes. From reading the responses you recieved today and mine yesterday, I am confident that we will loose the weight. Keep me posted!!

Hey Nean how r you doing? Did you get the fill yet? They postponed mine till the 28th. Urgh and I need it to. I haven't lost any more weight. Hope you are having better luck...

Hi....so yeah it's been a little over 3 weeks now but my weightloss has stopped. I am getting hungrier too. I called to get my first fill tomorrow cause I did not pay all this money to not have it work. So I will let you know how it goes. Urgh!! How are you doing?

Hi Nean....Yea my weightloss has stopped. I am getting my forst fill tomorrow and hope that it helps reduce my hunger. I am trying to stay on track but it's getting more difficult. :-(

Hi Regine, hope you are doing well. I had my surgery on 5/14 and it went great. I have a question though....How does Dr. Choi do the fill. Does he numb the area before he inserts the needle. I'm getting pretty nervous about this now.....urgh

Well how did it go? :-)

Hey Nean.....tomorrow is your big day!! Hope all goes well. :-)

Good morning! I'm so happy ...I feel great! The pain is not too bad at all. It was worse when I had the galbladder surgery. I think it might have helped walking on the treadmill the first day for 15 min at 1 mph lol.

Yay you finally put a pic up! You look great. You're up next I want to hear all about your pre-op when you start of course. :-)

Hey Nean......the surgery went great! I wrote all about it on my blog. I have hardly any pain so I'm hoping tomorrow is the same. You're up next!!!

Happy bad day to me, happy band day to me!!!! lol The surgery went great but I have a lot of bruising...apparently they nicked a blood vessel ugh but other than that I'm doing great with hardly any pain. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.....

How are you doing.....have you gone to choco-aholics anonomous yet? LOL

Hi Skip....thank you so much. The surgery went great and Dr. Choi was super nice as was the whole

Staff at Strax. I had relatively no pain and hopefully tomorrow will not be too bad. I go back in a week for a check up and three weeks after that to get my first fill.

I'm SOOOO happy to hear that they lowered your price!! You must be exstatic. Please keep in touch and let me know how everything goes. I will be posting pics soon of my official before.....when are you posting some pics....hmmmmm? lol

Hi Coco!! Today is the day. I have surgery in one hour!!! I'm so nervous!! I'll let you know how it went. Have an awesome day!

Ok Nean,,,,I'm going in...surgery in one hour. I'll let you know how it went. Have a great day!!

Dr. Choi doesn't talk much but I think that's his personality. But if you have the questions he has al the answers. I was charged $116 for the Whey Right shake, coconut oil and three different pills. This was a price that Steven gave me....but then again I'm not sure if they are giving you something different. What I like is that Steven is there every Saturday and is there to help. He said he wasn't going to give up on me till I was in a thong! LOL He's a riot. I would suggest that you talk to him and he will be totally honest with you....he was to me when I didn't loose too much the first week of pre-op.

My sister is doing good. She is going for her first fill tomorrow so I'll let you know how that goes. :-)

Hey Tasha....love the pics. Tomorrow I'll be taking official day before the surgery pics.....that'll be interesting....

Oh I'm first? Eeek....ok. I'm super nervous and excited and worried and man....can't wait till it's over.

Good morning! Are you excited?? Surgery tomorrow and you start your new way of life!! I'm so happy for you. Please keep me posted and let me know how everything went. Hugs!!

Hi Meagan...I was reading your blog and it is so inspiring. I get banded on Friday and can't wait till it's over! I'm looking so forward to the future!!

Hi Tasha. Thank you for visiting my page. Yeah I get banded on Friday.....I'm super nervous. I want to get it over with already. How have you been doing?

What are you doing for pre-op that you lost 27 pounds! Congrats! I lost 7 lol. Today I start my all liquid diet. Then surgery on Friday!!! I'm getting so nervous!

Good luck tomorrow!!

Hi SkipinMiami, Strax charged me $10,500 cause my sister had it done as well. So far they have been great to work with. the dietician, Steven, is real nice and so is everyone else there. I;m on my last week of the pre-op diet and then I have surgery on the 14th. I'm starting to get nervous but that's normal. When do you start your pre-op?

Hey Coco! How have you been? Have you started your pre-op yet? I don't get my banding till next friday...lol. I WISH it was tomorrow so I can get it over with. I'm starving on this pre op diet. So one week to go!!! :-)

Hi Amber! Good luck with your surgery. Hope everything goes well. Keep us posted!!
