Hey everyone ! I was banded march 19 2012. Yes just 4 days ago. There was no complications, it went great. Got to go home the next day. This is day 2 at home. So far so good. Gas pain is the worst. I am actualy having trouble tAking deep breaths. Anyone else? It hurts in my stomach and my chest. Also I am having trouble w my vitamins. Any suggestions? I am taking gummy and chewing really good but still feeling pressure.... Any advice would b great!

But it will come off! It will

But it will come off! It will.I'm not gonna stop at all! I can't stall forever. And when it does come off its gonna be awesome!!!!!

I had my first fill last week on the 18th, i havent lost nothing since 2weeks after surgery but im not worried. All together i have lost 47 lbs... 22 of that was since i started the pre op diet till 2 weeks after surgery....i m not exercising yet cause ,i was told not to .My doctor wants my body to adjust to the diet first...... so u not the only one where the weight is stallin it will come off again we got to give the body a min. to adjust to the change

Thanks dagmar. Glad there r others are in my same positions.

Me too i haven't lost or gained. I get my first fill april 30th.

Well I got my first fill 2 weeks ago. Get my second on Monday. So far, all together I have lost 21lbs! I feel awesome!

Hey everyone, I was also banded March 19th. I'm seriously frustrated and super depressed right now. I lost 12 lbs during my preop and during the first week of liquid diet. Since then I got 1 fill of 4cc and I haven't lost anything since. I can only get 1 fill every 6 weeks per my Dr. I spent all this money, did the painful part and recovery time. I exercise everyday that I don't work ( I work 12 hour shifts when I do work and it's impossible to fit it in), that's exercise 3-4 times per week. I'm dying for another fill and just feel hopeless right now..............uhhhhh

Netty i actuallt gained for two weeks. How many calories r u eating. I gained because i want eating enough. When i upped my cals to 900-1100 i started losing. I also do 45 at the gym 6 days a week. And the 7 just stay moving. Follow the rules.go back to square 1. U must excercise at least 30 day. Protein first. At least64 oz.of water.i was banded 3/19 too.

.

How is everyone doin here ? everyone still around ? Me myself im doing great i keep slowly losing.... i might start to really exercise now , i still cant get my self motivated tho im such a lazy butt .....i had my 4th fill today im at 4.5 in my band ...the only bad thing about this losing weight is that i lose my hair along with the lbs but i hope it will stop soon, i will try to focus on the protein more and see if that helps .....other than that im feeling really great ...

Hi, I was banned on March 16th, nice to talk to someone with a date so close to mine. I have lost 38 lbs so far. Slow progress I think because I am not exercising like I should I have 3.5 cc's in my band and I think I might get a tiny fill on Tuesday, and I should be in the green zone! Over the last week or two I have had unusual pain near my port, have you experienced this at all? It's just a dull achy pain...I'll talk to the dr about it Tuesday. Keys keep moving toward our weight loss goals!!

yeah i didnt exercise yet either but my doctor didnt really want me to the first 2-3 months but now im suppose to but good luck with that . i will try tho to do at least something. i have had a lil port pain here n there like after i lifted heavy things or when had some pressure on my tummy but after 2-3 days it usually goes away .

Hey guys! I am down just about 60 lbs. I am happy with it, not excersing enough though, mostly because it is too bloody hot here! I joined a gym but they dont open until September. I have had to buy "transitional" clothes, sex life has GREATLY improved, no longer obsessing about food, battling to get enough protein, and learning to adjust to more male attention. There's a little of my journey!
