  • I'm in NYC!

  • I'm from Long Island and was banded in August 2010 at NYU. Just recently underwent plastic surgery, a month ago tomorrow, to remove excess skin on my tummy and arms.

I'm feeling great. Had my first fill on Monday with frank and resumed spinning on Tuesday so now I hope to see the scale go down. I'm still amazed how I'm not starving and am satisfied with so little. Never knew how much I ate till I see how little I eat now if that makes sense. How are you feeling doing? Have u gone to the support group at NYU? I'm thinking of checking it out this month....since its all so new I want to gain as much insight as I can lol

I feel great!! I go back to see Dr Fielding on the 23rd and he said depending on how much more weight I lost he will decide whether or not to give me my first fill. I said the same thing about how much less I'm eating. It really is such a difference! I haven't been to any of the supports groups recently. My husband used to have the band and so does a few of my in laws so I'm pretty familiar with what to expect. But I remember in the beginning if my husbands journey going with him, and they really are very helpful and informative. I just started doing some exercise this week and I have so much more energy! Definitely the best decision I have made to better my healthy and way of life!! I'm glad to hear you too are doing so well! Good luck to you!! :-)

That's great! I don't get my first fill until August 23! Good luck to you on your journey!! :-)

The 23rd will be my 3 year "bandiversary" since I was banded at NYU by Dr. Ren. I can't believe how fast the time has flown!

Not yet before I get a date I need my insurance approval. My doctor (whom I love to pieces) was a little slow submitting all my documents. That has slowed down my approval.
