I was banded 4 years ago today. I've lost 137 pounds, needless to say it's the best thing I've ever done for myself.

Love this thread- good to see so much encouragement being passed around. I was banded on April 5 in Houston with true results- Dr Hollis. Great experience overall. With pre-op and time after surgery, total of 3 weeks dieting right I've dropped 30 pounds so far. Can't wait to see my results by end of April. If anyone has any questions about diet, Protein powders, etc, just text me @ 281-773-8724 or email me at OakesRealty@yahoo.com. I'm a realtor and manager of a smoothie king so I have extensive knowledge of protein powders and supplements. Good luck to all of you. I know the results will be amazing.

I will get a fill in 2 more weeks due to the 3cc he had to take out 3 days after surgery because I was staying so sick. I know that I have lost 20 lbs since march 5 th. I can tell a differance now able to wear large clothes instead if 2x. Thanks everyone for all of your concerns for me may you all be blessed !!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
