I was banded about a month before you also in NJ. Where in NJ was your surgery?

I was banded on 10/21 in NJ. Where in Jersey are you from? Who did your surgery.

Yeah, Todd --rub it in that you were banded after me and just had your third fill while I'm still waiting for #2. Grrrrr LOL

Atlantic Care in Atlantic City, Dr. Patel

I was banded at AtlantiCare by Dr. O, one month after you. :-)

I was also banded on 12/21/09, but in Iowa. How's it going for you? Is it what you expected it would be like almost 2 months out?

I was to have my first fill today, it was postponed due to the snow. I lost 28 lbs the first 5 weeks (and dropped 2 sizes, I've gone from a 20 to a 16) and have stayed the same for the last 3. I Thought I would of had a fill by now and I'm disapointed I haven't lost anymore. I do realize it's a process and I'm trying to be patient. My scars are healing fine and I feel pretty good. What about you, how are you doing?? Leslie

I was banded on 2/9/10 in Atlantic Care, Atlantic City.

By Dr. O as well.

wouldn't mind hearing anyones experiences with him as far as fills are concerned.

I had my first fill on Feb. 3, and I am feeling some restriction, but not feeling really tight. I thought a fill would work miracles, but it didn't, of course. I lost 30 dieting 6 weeks before the surgery and only 20 or so in the 7 weeks since the surgery, so it has been a little frustrating. But I'm still averaging 3 lbs a week, so I guess it's okay. I guess patience is the hardest part.

I was banded by Dr. O on 1/20 and will go for my first fill on 2/26 (was to be 2/19, but I'm out of town). What fills have you had? Wonder when I can get my second fill.

No fills yet. The fill on feb 10 was cancelled due to storm. I go for my first on the 17th. Can't wait!! right now I can pretty much eat anything, What part of NJ are you from?? I'm from Salem County, Thanks, Leslie

I go for my first fill on the 17th of Feb. I'm from Salem County. where in NJ are you from? My fill was originally scheduled for the 10th but was cancelled due to the weather. Most people are on there 2nd or 3rd fill by now. Not sure why my doctor is so cautious. Right now I can eat just about everything. It's tuff. Thanks for replying, Leslie
