Hi everyone! I'm new, and newly banded in Aug. This is quite a change and very exciting. I have already noticed a big difference and I haven't had an adjustment yet. Due to have my first fill on Sept. 5th. Looking forward to chatting more soon.:clap2:

go to general discussion and look for the August band crew posts - that where the rest of the August bandsters are!

Thanks Robin! Wow, I was banded on August 3rd. My surgery weight was 262, 5'5" also, my BMI was 41 and at my one week post-op check I had lost 7 pounds. I don't know if I've lost since. I have noticed a big difference in my portions etc. but I don't think I've lost any more weight. I'm not having any problems except with my port. It hurts and is very uncomfortable, pulls and feels like stickers. But I'm sure it will all work out. I'm just going on my third week this Thurs. I'm excited and feel better already. You would think after a lifetime of fighting the bulge, I'd be more patient. teehee THanks again and I look forward to hearing from you again. You can email me at tammydawn707@hotmail.com if you want to. Thanks, Tammy
