Thanks copa, glad you are doing well and sorry you're having the pain in your neck . . I have not heard of that, but I do know that we relaly get banged around during surgery. Hope it clears up soon. When do you see your surgeon so you could ask about it? My weight loss has been good . .I'm at 50 pounds - wow amazing. I'm going for a 2nd fill this Friday. Thanks for keeping in touch! Rose

Hi Eileen,I think your 39 pounds is fantastic.The fact that your weight is consistently going down is great. I'm not sure there is a "should" have as far as how much we each should lose. I really had not calculated it, but since you asked, I sat down and charted it out . I'm in week #14 & have lost 50 # including pre-op (10 #). My losses are a bit lower recently compared to August. I'm 183 at my morning weigh in. I still weigh every day - bad I know, and I'm not going to the gym, but I walk at least a mile every day. I have no complaints. I realize my loss is probably above average and I'm glad for that - I just don't want that to be discouraging for anyone else. I wish I could get to a gym like you do, I know that has to be firming up areas that need it . . I have pretty bad bat wings and my belly just doesn't want to go down as much as I would like. . ..ah well . .. in time! Thanks for keeping in touch! Rose

Me too! In fact I am just growing my hair out from a cut I did not ask for . . . and it caused me to make a move after 7 years with a stylist who was not consistent with satisfaction. Now I'm with a little gal that I just love and she shows me something new to do with my hair everytime I see her . . . it's fun. So enjoy the new look and if you feel like you still want something different . . .it will grow for sure.

Too much fun! Thanks for sharing. :-)

Hi Eileen, I am doing well. My first fill went well; however, I really can't say as I've noticed a difference since then . .. I am still losing, but it is taking a LOT of my own will power to keep doing the right things . . .I'm hungry. I am scheduled for my second fill this coming Friday, so hoping for some help from that. My surgeon recommended a second fill - even though I'm still losing, he said that to use this tool to its fullest, I should eat a cup of food - the right foods, of course - and that should hold me for 4 or 5 hours. That is definitely not happening. We had a long weekend away Fri -Sunday out of state for a family wedding. I did ok, but again, it was really difficult because I was hungry. So . . here's hoping fill #2 does the trick. And how about you? I haven't gone over to read the recent posts . . .I just got on the site, so maybe you've posted and I'll see it when I go and catch up . .. hope you are well and things are going well for you. Rose

I know what you mean about no restriction with the first fill - I don't notice any difference at all. I am scheduled for my 2nd fill on the 22nd, which is good because I'm getting really hungry between meals. I hit 50 pounds this week - woo hoo! Thanks for keeping in touch!

Hi Laura, I am doing well - thanks for checking. I had first fill on October 1st, but am not feeling restriction. I'm scheduled for 2nd fill on the 22nd. How are you doing? I like your new profile picture. We have a wedding this weekend and I'm hoping to fit into a dress I have in my closet . . .but I'm not sure so I have a backup dress. We'll see. I hit 50 pounds last week - woo hoo! Thanks for keeping in touch! Rose

I know you know this, Boo, but the panic will not help (duh, right?) .. .try your best to relax as you begin to eat . .maybe even some relaxing music .. . I know from experience with acid reflux that the band does not like stress. Best wishes.

What does you doctor say, sacrout? If they recommend trying it, I would follow their advice and give it a try. My heart goes out to you and I wish you the best!

The "tool" does work hrdiamond4. I can only suggest to keep working with your surgeron's office to get you to that place where 3/4 to 1 cup of food keeps you full. I saw my surgeon today and that is what he said . . I also need another fill because I'm not at that place yet. Keep doing what you're supposed to do and work the tool . .. it will get you where you want to go - I believe it! Best wishes.
