Shonette, Glad to know that I am not the only one who has set backs.. Congrats!!

I was banded exactly 1 year ago too. I was doing pretty good, until summer! I wasn't gaining but I wasn't losing either. after summer was over I gained 6 pounds now trying to get it off is a pain! I am thinking that I have streatched my stomach. not sure. I need to go in and get another fill and see if that gets me back on track.. Crossing my fingers it will.. I agree with you about having the surgery again in a heart beat.

I had my first fill on Dec 7th, so far so good lost a total of 30 pounds and I feel really good!!

I had my first fill on the 7th of Dec, it was a little tender but it mostly itched. its feeling ok now.

I went in for my consult on sept 15, I found out on Sept 17th that I was approved by my insurance. I could have had my surgery in sept or the first part of Oct. but my boss on Vacation around that time so I scheduled my surgery for Oct 25th, I just had my first fill on Dec 7th.. I have lost a total of 30 pounds and feeling great..

I was banded on the 25th also, and I have lost 6 pounds. I have been eating anything that I can mash with a fork so to speak. I try to make sure that its protein. I just figure as long as I am not gaining weight that I am doing good :cursing:

I had my surgery on the same day :cursing: I agree with you about it being the best thing you ever done.. I am still a little sore but not to bad :0) I went back to work on Monday, so far so good!

Doing well, I have lost 6 pounds since surgery.. :w00t: I have been back to work for a couple of days. so far so good

Thanks for the encouragement

I just got banded on the 25th, 5 days in and I am doing pretty good, but looking forward to my journey.. I would like to Journey together.

pretty sore today, but its getting better! :thumbup:

I had a couple of friends that said that following the stricked diet before surgery where I lost 17 pounds, asked if I was sure I still wanted the surgery because I was loosing weight with the stricked diet. Let them know Hell Yeah!!

got my lapband today! surgery went great, checked in @ 6 this morning and was able to leave around 5:30. I get to go back tomorrow Morning for my swallow test then I can't head home :wub: my stomach is a little tender, I think I finally got rid of most of the gas, that's the part that hurt. other than that I am feeling pretty good right now I am glad to have it all done now to keep on loosing weight! and keeping positive !:thumbup:

MY Surgery is on Monday!! Woohoo!

5 days until surgery. can't wait!

I am on the Unjury diet, its not so bad I can have Cream of wheat or Oat meal for breakfast with my Vanilla protien shake it taste pretty good :wink2: I do get hungery by I know this is what I want. So I can do the protien shakes, the protien jello-O , the protien pudding, the yogurt, the V8- juice and the apple sauce :bolt: I have 8 more days until surgery!

Briana, I am where you are!! I guess just knowing that if you can stick to this, that soon we can actually eat again :thumbup: I Just started the strict diet on Monday the 11th, My surgery is on Oct 25th. I started the diet early but still had dinner so it wasn't bad. making dinner is hard and there have been times I wanted to take a bite of something but I told my self NO!! so far I have lost 12 pounds and hoping to loose even more before surgery! Good Luck!

I am having my Lap Band surgery on the 25th of Oct. looking forward to it
