HI.

I WAS BANDED ON 9/05/06 IN FORT ATKINSON, WI. BY DR. ERICKSON. TO DATE I HAVE LOST ABOUT 40LBS. I HAVEN'T LOST ANYTHING IN THE LAST 2 WEEKS. I LOST THE MOST THE FIRST WEEK BEFORE AND WEEK AFTER SURGERY. NO PROBLEMS SO FAR BUT I STARTED GETTING HUNGRY AND HAVE HORRIBLE CRAVINGS ABOUT 2 WEEKS AGO. I AM 39 YRS OLD. MARRIED FOR 15YRS AND HAVE 2 SONS AGES 12 AND 14. I LOVE WATCHING MY KIDS PLAY SPORTS, GARDENING, READING, GOLFING,BOWLING,AND DECORATING. I AM EXCITED ABOUT TALKING WITH EVERYONE WHO HAVE MADE THE SAME LIFE CHANGE THAT I HAVE. LAURIE

Hi Laurie and welcome to LBT! It sounds like you are doing well. As you were banded in early September, have you had your first fill yet? Once you reach proper restriction, it should help with those cravings and being hungry.

Welcome to LBT Laurie!

Welcome Laurie!

I joined just yesterday, and am already loving it! I think you've probably done well with weight loss since you've only had it done for two weeks! At least based on everything I've read. Congratulations! I know you're going to like it here!
