Thanks "Living My Dream".......I've only lost 10 pounds since surgery March 23rd But, I'll have my first fill on the 20th of April and hoping it helps curb my "food desires".

Hi Mary, My name is Lynn and I was banded January 31st, 2010. I had my first fill 10 days ago and am having difficulty drinking all the water and keeping the food down. Seems to be too much saliva. How are you doing with the food. Do you have any suggestions for me. I'm really excited about loosing the weight. I am much older, 63, but young at heart.

I had my first lap band fill 10 days ago and am still having problems keeping food and some drinks down. Is this usual or can anyone give me any helpful hints.

Hey! Our birthday's are a day apart. Very cool! Just got banded 3/10, and would have to say you're such an inspiration. You look amazing!

hey Jen! Thanks for the words of comfort! Surgery date rescheduled for 3/18/10...still nervous and yes I do have someone to hold my hand. Do you remember how long you were in the OR?

Hello Elk,

I too was banded on March 10. Please respond with your experiences. Thanks. Steve

Hi Heidi

Long time no talk, how have u been doing,, i had my 2nd fill today ,lost 10 more lbs ..talk u later

Tomorrow is my Band Day I have to be at the hospital at 10:00 A.M. my surgery is at 12:00 P.M. I will have to spend one night in the hospital because the surgery is in the afternoon that is my surgeons policy.

Yes Yes. Banded on 2/19 last friday. Everything is going well everything is feeling much better with the exception of the port site. That is still pretty sore. But im up walking and have some restriction and just getting use to things. Did you get banded yet?

I guess around 10 or 11 by now. Because of what happened I don't think she'll live to be very old. But she keeps hangin' in there.

Good Morn-ting!! (in my Madea voice!!! giggles) I have surgery next Monday 3/1/10 Yeahhhhhhhh!!!! Hot damn i just can't wait!!! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! How are you doing Ms??

Just passing thru to let you know I got my date!! 3/1/10!! yes!! That is in a few weeks!! Yes!!

Heyyyyyy Ms. Chaval!!! I have my date!! I have my date!! 3/1/10!! Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!

Hot Dayum!!! A size 10!! I remeber when I could fit a 10!! Funny thing that was not too long ago 2yrs to be exact. I know you are happy about that!!! Well I came back from my point and I have my date 3/1/10 yeahhhh!!

Hey girl! Our Bandiversary is coming up very soon!!! 2/25/10! I can't believe it's been a year already! I just celebrated 40 lbs. this week. I thought I would never meet that mark! The last few months have been hard and the weight has been slowwww to come off! But I am still hopeful that it will keep moving down the scale. I have had 5 fills so far and have a total of 5 cc. I don't think I can take anymore, my band is tight enough for now. I sure hope that you are doing okay and that you have found a good spot (with the band). Love to hear from you!

Why have lost only 10 pounds since being band 50 days ago? Is this very slow? I have been very careful with my diet and now I am getting disappointed about having the surgery
