Happy bandaversary!!!! How are you doing with it all? I'm down 23lbs so far. It was slow going for awhile but things have picked up now. Have lost 4lbs this week so am happy with that. I've joined the gym and starting to really put in some work which might explain the weight loss too. Hope you are doing okay and are melting away:-) Catch up with you soon...Sandi xxx

So, finding out at my fill, that I have a 14cc band, I ws told that it could take about three fills to really start to feel the restriction, because its such a large band. Well, since the fill, I havent felt anymore restriction and I have another apointment in two weeks where will be asking for more fluids in my band.... Just my update! Best of Luck and prayers to all...

:tongue2:Okay so on Saturday September 18, 2010 @ 9am, I had my very first fill. Now before I get started with the really short story, let first tell you I waited in the lobby for 15 minutes before my appointment. Okay so I was called back, weighted (total of 43.9lbs. in 6 weeks) I laid flat on the bed, then my doctor came in, (I got to keep all of my own clothes on!) He explained to me that he was going to give me a shot of litocaine (mind you it was in a diabedic needle) and I didnt even feel him give me the shot. He explained that he was going to put the other needle that was attached to the 3cc of saline solution in... before I got alright out of my mouth, he said, "Im in!" I didnt feel it either! He push the plumger of the neddle in and all I could feel was this,weird squiggly feeling..! I would imagine its what a mother feels when she feels her baby move inside of her. Just like that, I was done and out of there. In a matter of 5 minutes, my band was full and I was back in the car and leaving right at my actual appoiontment time! So, really there is nothing to be scared of and its completely PAINLESS!!!! Best of luck and prayer to all!:thumbup:

Thank you everyone for all the prayers and condolences. Im really happy with all the progress that Ive made thus far, and I cant wait to continue it! Next week I promise to report back with a FULL and DETAILED report of my first fill... I am a little nervous, but Ive dont my research and seen several video on how the process works, so I feel very informed.. Im also so glad to hear that my blogs have helped so many of you... That why I choose to be very open and detailed about the process... I promise to get some new full body photos up again very soon, so you can all see the progress... Its very amazing, even to me! Thanks again everyone.. Best of luck and prayers to all...

I have to be honest, it does work, but you have to help it work. You have to decided to make the right food choices, and excersize. If you work with it, it WILL work for you! Best of luck and please keep us posted!

I want to share my progress, so that people sitting at home, have a chance to find the answers that they are searching for. My Band journey has been a long one, and it still has so much more to add to it....

Sorry its been so long since I posted... Life has just gotten a little over whelming lately. As of right now, Im down 35lbs in 5 weeks! Alot of people are starting to notice and it feels really good. I recently had to buy a new outfit for my Dad's funeral (he passed away two weeks ago) and Im already down two pant sizes, two sizes around and one cup size in my bra, and one size smaller in my shirts!!! Im very pleased with all the progress. I have every intention of getting back into my gym routine now that everything has calmed down and im finally home again. Best of Luck and prayers to all!:wink:

Hiya....just checking in with you to see how you're getting on. Are you having any problems with the band? I'm doing pretty well. I'm not feeling any restriction at all. The nurse said that would be normal and that you usually don't until after the first fill. Just want to get on to my after pictures...lol Take care and hope all is well!! Sandi
