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.

That is great! It makes us newbies having surgery reassured that this is the best decision for us. Congrats to you!!!!

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.

Banded today!!! Sore but good.

Did you get a fill day of surgery? I forgot to ask my doctor that and I keep thinking about it.. I'm sure I've asked you this but was it with true results? Congratulations!!
