Hey Tabby Welcome and Thanks for stopping by here to say Hi So since you've been banded how have you been doing? I just went to Dr today for my 2nd post op and was put on food after 2 1/2 weeks of liquids I had a little fish and some green Beans and it tasted great but took so long to eat that I only ate half a portion but I also was full. I ate very slow but was also very nervous I am going back to work tomorrow and I'm excited to go but having a hard time getting back into the sleeping schedule I've been quite a night owl since the surgery I stay up all night. Well good luck again to everyone. Keep in touch with all us NY'ers

Marrisa...sorry I didn't get back to you faster, I had my band done the day after you posted so I was already on my way to Mexico! I chose to go there because as a self-pay I was researching all my options, checking credentials, and comparing all Drs.,etc. I kept coming back to Dr. Ortiz. Even the most expierenced Doc here in N.Y. hasent done the number of surgeries that he's done.He's proctored many other Dr.s and came highly recommened by Inamed. I was very confident going there, and now that I'm back, I know it was the best choice for me! It was a better than I ever expected. I heard there was a Dr. from N.Y. learning a prosedure at the clinic the day I was banded so I asked to meet him and it turnrd out to be a Dr. from L.I. Bariatric Center in Levittown!!(where Im going to go for fills) it was just a crazy coinsidence. Im one week post-op and feeling great, I haven't taken any pain meds since I left the hospital (I actualy went shopping at the markets when I got released and walked all day) I have no problem getting anything down, the marks on my belly are tiny, I can even sleep on my side! I did /do have some gas pain in my shoulder, but nothing unbearable at all and most important I think for the first time -this really might work!! WHO LOVES THIER BAND!!?? I know I do! Did I tell you I went in at 214lb and today Im 206?!How freakin' great is this thing.

How are the rest of you doing? keep posting New York...we ROCK

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
