Hello Everyone, I was banded on January 24, 2011. I am a bit scared, happy, and excited. I lost 13 pounds before my surgery but none since. I believe my first fill is set for Feb. 22, 2011. I look forward to learning alot from everyone here. JuLz

Welcome!

Don't worry about not losing weight during the healing phase. Do be mindful of your liquid calories and don't over do that's all. The healing phase is just that,; you want to keep your stomach at rest so everything can heal in place. I'm glad to hear you have your first fill scheduled already. That's when you may notice a bit of a change. (don't panic if you don't feel restriction at that first fill though, they will not want to overfill you so will be more likely to under fill you...)

The best of luck to you on your journey!

Congratulations!!

Hi, I too was banded on January 24, 2011 and have a lot of the same feelings that you say your are having. I lost 12 pounds before surgery but like you, none since. Good luck to you!
