I was banded Oct.18,2010 an I'm proud to say I've lost 44lbs. it may seem like a little but its a lot for me.

you are more than likely too tight and need and unfill. Good-luck

Hi,& welcome ALL I had my surgery on Oct.18,2010 by Dr. Michael King in Oxford,Ms. He & his staff are the best, Mickey & Robin are great they will take care of you, didn't really care to much for the nurses at the hospital. I had to spend the night Insurance requirement

My miracle cure is pineapple juice I carry a can in my purse(6oz dole).

pineapple juice gives you instant relief & beleive me you will need it, being stuck hurt like crap.

I thought it would never happen to me I'm 5 mths post-op I drank Water too fast & got this feeling in my throat,I thought I had to burp but this glob came up YUCK,won't gulp again sip,sip,sip.

This band is a Bitch so I named her Ms. Bish

I was banded Oct.18,2010 & lost 44lbs. I thought that was bad but I guess I'm on target 3rd. fill march 15,2011 6 1/2cc in 10cc band not sure if I'm getting that third fill just yet.

I saw one of my X-co-workers in a store yesterday she didn't reconize me I have lost 45 lbs. & cut all my hair off & dyed it blonde it was great when she did her triple take,she just screamed.

I wish I had read this yesterday I went to the doctor & he gave me a big painful shot of dexamethasone and its still hurting & I am 3 mths out.

I have had 2 sinus infections in a month & thats never happen before I also stay cold.

I'm in also I was banded oct.18,2010 268lbs. pre-op 232-229 for the last wk. no exercise or kinect for the last month I can do this & I will.

Warm pineapple juice works wonders when stuck.

I was banded on Oct.18,2010 I also had a hernia I had gas really bad in my back & shoulder the only relief i got was heating pad & extra strength gas-x good-luck & walk,walk,walk & walk some more.

I saw this really pretty dress & decided to order it for motivation,I ordered a size misses 12 therefore I wouldn't have a chance of getting in it,well I tried it just for the heck of it I can get it on but I look like a sausage which is great 4 months ago I looked like a sauage in a 18w.

I was banded on Oct18,2010 since pre-opt Oct.3,2010 to Dec.06.2010 I have lost 33 lbs.

I was banded on Oct.18,2010 I got my first fill Yesterday 12/06/2010 my doctor put in 2cc but had to take out 1cc and I am fine with that I don't have the restriction I want but I'm sure its gonna happen I didn't gain this weight in a year & if I don't lose it all in a year that would be ok but since I began this journey at 268 lbs. Oct.3,2010 235 lbs. dec.6,2010 I think come Oct.18,2011 I will be one happy bandster. 33 lbs. lost 75 lbs. to go.HAPPY HOLIDAYS EVERYONE

WOW HunnyBun I thought i had and experience but yours was just unforgiveable you need to complain to someone who will listen so this type stuff can be solved & never happen again the nerve of some suppose to be professional People,I hope you are better I wish you a speedy recover,my nurses also ignored my request for pain meds but once my Doctor found out how they were treating me he handled it right there in front of me,& wow did their act change I was treated like a Queen after he blasted them,how did your liver get cut.

Well LIAR I am, I only told my Husband & he of course told his Mom. So i'm assuming thats all that knows but regardless thats my business if I choose not to tell anyone. I told everyone I had a hernia repaired & I did.

Its your choice to tell or not.

I finally got my date today!! Woohoo! Feel like I have been waiting forever. October 18th they offered me the 5th but b/c of my work schedule I could not do it :thumbup: I feel so much better though that I have a date and can now make plans, with time off work etc...

Who else is getting banded in October? I think it will be nice to have others to compare feelings and stories with, as we are going through this.

Good Luck to everyone! New Chapter here I come :tongue:

Hi I will be banded on the 18th also I am on day 6 of my liquid diet, today wasn't my best I took a bite of my husband's steak & a bite of my son's also so no Protein Shake tonight. GOOD-LUCK to you.:biggrin:
