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 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.

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

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
