Hello all!! It's been sooo long since I posted anything!! I'm 8 weeks post op and have lost 41 pounds so far!! And went down 2 dress sizes! Had my first fill (3 cc's) on Sept 7th. Next fill is scheduled for Dec 14th. (I have to fly to Anchorage, AK for each appt..so they are spaced out) I've been exercising pretty much everyday. I'm seriously happy!! I hope everyone is doing well out there!! KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK!!

Just like to add that I'm 10 days post op and down 15lbs!! The feeling is great! So far so good. still a bit sore but everything is wonderful. at mushy stage...blending EVERYTHING. Can't wait to start solids..LOL I would like to say congrats to all those who have gone through the surgery these passed few days! And good luck to those who will be getting it done in the next few weeks!! YAY for everyone here!

Thank you!! Good luck!!

Got my band yesterday. Got discharged this evening. All went well, I don't remember how I fell asleep for the surgery, next thing I knew I was in recovery. A few things for those of you who are getting it done this month....be prepared to be VERY sore..also you will have a lot of gas pains...mainly in your stomach and chest. You'll be hooked up to an IV (obviously) and you'll have a "happy button" for pain meds. Each time I pushed it I fell asleep. Get ready for jello and broth too. That was on my food tray. All in all everything went well. Just be ready for the soreness. Oh and you will have a catheter. Make sure you WALK WALK WALK as soon as you fill up to it. Good Luck all!! Make sure you take a before surgery picture too!! It's exciting to start my journey!! <a href="http://lilyslim.com/"><img src="http://swlf.lilyslim.com/tHmKm8.png" width="400" height="80" border="0" alt="LilySlim Weight loss tickers" /></a>
