My name is Tim, surgery 6/30/2011, By Dr. Jenson in Yuma AZ. Total Loss is 32 lbs including pre-op diet. Just some minor problems with eating as it seems the restriction is not so bad except for 2 episodes when food would not go down and 5 or 10 mins later it would come back up! I have gained a couple lbs and hope the 1st fill on 8/15 will help!

Hey Tim! My name is Stan and I was banded the day after you! Losing weight like you, and it's slowed down a bit but still going down. Not worried about it too much; doc told me this first month post op is all about healing and letting my body adjust to having something stuck inside. weight may act a little weird right now, but after next appointment with him and probable first fill, like he said, "the fun will begin..". so, hang in there.. we take small bites, we chew the hell out of those, and on we go..

let me know how the next appt goes. mine is on Aug. 8.

Welcome!

Congrats on your amazing progress thus far. Hope to see you around the boards.

60 Lbs now!! WooHoo!! 7cc in band now! Next fill later this month!!<BR><BR><BR><BR>
