I just got home from visiting my surgeon this morning. I've lost another 2 pounds for a total of 26.5 pounds since I was banded on March 28th, 6 months ago. I have lost 4 pants sizes and the jeans that I bought 2 weeks ago are already starting to get loose in the waist.

Dr Tanner says that women re-distribute their weight and then lose even more and they are quite thrilled with my progress so far. I am up to 4.5cc's after .5cc fill today. If anyone has any questions just let me know.

I promise for you newbies that it does get easier.

Congrats, that is awesome! I have a question, I just got my first fill yesterday and it was done under fluro and I am up to 6 cc in 10 cc band. I am nervous about my first food, I really don't want to get sick. I haven't had any trouble eating since I got banded, but PA said I would now. I start solids tomorrow afternoon. Maybe a lean cuisine meal, or go straight to chicken?

Chicken may give you trouble, especially if it's dry. I was told to start with fish. If you eat it, I would go for that first. A lot of times people don't even feel a first fill. Although, I think you might, you got a large fill. Keep us posted. Oh- and I stay away from the frozen meals, too much sodium and carbs. I also just don't like them.

Congrats!
