I'm banded as of 10/10/11 feeling good but as to be expected sore.... I've started my liquids and already burned out because of my pre surgery had nothing but liquids. Does anybody have suggestion on what to drink that make me feel full.......

just noticed your two year ban-anniversary is coming up too.... i'm two days before you (11/10/09). I'm not as blessed in the height category, being only 5 2. We started about the same 223. My goal weight was 150 at first, but I think 130 would be good for me. You look incredible...

Hello all. I had my surgery on 09/13/10 and did really well. Did get a fill until January 2011. I kept losing so I was told I didn't need one. I had a hip replaced May 2010, then this surgery then May 2011 had other hip replaced. I have not lost any weight since May. In fact gain weight. I keep trying but realize I need a fill to restrict me. I guess I was ashamed of not keeping the weight coming off. I started at 289 lbs down to 225 then now am 235. Kells0802 you have given me a boost to get a fill even if I am told I should have come earlier or whatever.

November 10 can not come soon enuff super excited for my day:)

Hello R5000- just got home from surgery yesterday with Dr. Kurian. Pretty sore. Any suggestions for the next 10 days?

Hello, my name is Susan. I have not had my first fill yet. We have the same doc. Could u pls tell me what it is like getting a fill at Dr. Smiths office in Ft Worth? I go on 9/19/11 and am a little scared.

My name is Lisa. I am a 44 year old mother of 2. My daughters name is Jewel she is 19 and my sons name is Sean and he just turned 18. I am married to a wonderful man and his name is Jamie. I am a Phlebotomist at our local county hospital. I have been a Phleb for almost 5 years. I enjoy my job. I was banded on August 22nd. So far so good. Just some minor hiccups but easily gotten over. I feel this is one of the better lifetime decisions I have made and have high hopes this will increase my quality of life if I work hard.

Your doing great! Keep up the good work! Your doing wayyyy better than I am! How many cc do you have? I have 4cc and ive only lost 10-13 pounds...it changes daily...keep in touch!

Well, I'm banded! I went in yesterday at 9:45. I was supposed to get banded at 11:30 but hey took me in early - 10:15. I was home by 1:00! Al and all, it wasn't too bad. They only pain I have now is my incision where my port is. Other than that - so far so good!!!

Hi Bardy! Congrats on all of your weight loss!! I can't wait for the day I can rejoice for being in a size 10! Hope you get those little complications ironed out..but glad you're doing much better! Take care, love! =D

Hey! My name is Kelly, looking for some people that have used Dr Wagner. My surgery is on 10/26. How did everything go with yours?

Hi, I am scheduled for the lapband surgery Oct 31st 2011 and I am currently on my pre-op diet and it sucks. anyone else had trouble with the pre-op diet? mine is 10 days.

I am having LBS on the 10 th of August 2011. I am on my 3 Rd day of liquids and it's going fine. I am worried about the people who only loose 5 pounds or even 50 pounds I really want to loose all my weight.

I got stuck at 10 lbs too! That's when I cheated! Ha! Just stick to it and increase your water... drink as much as you possibly can today, it will help flush out your system.

I've been banded since 12/1/10

I havent been here for a while but I'm good. Banded 12/3/10 and have lost 20lbs, so I guess I'm on my way.

54!!! Thats great keep up the good work.
