I would love to join a support group as well. I just moved down here 3 months ago and I need to find a good doctor for my fills. Can anyone help me out? Who do you suggest? How do they fill? How do they charge?

Thanks!

Hey Lisa, I was also banded by Dr Miles - May 2007. I have lost 85lbs so far. I'm 64yrs old & probably lose a little slower then a younger person. I have come from a 26 in pants to a 16 & 5x in top to xxl due to big arms. I hope you do well. I still occassionally over eat or not chew well & well, you know what happens. So good luck & keep on track. Barbara

Hello Alabama Bandsters!!! I am from the Birmingham area. Dr. Miles @ Medical Center East did my surgery November 13 and I have lost 19 pounds so far! Starting weight was 227.5. I have not had my first fill as of yet but am scheduled for Jan 2. A little nervouse about it since I do not know what to expect.

I am eating most anything just in smaller portions. I am making sure I chew everything extremely well. I do not want to experience the PBing everyone talks about. I have almost walked on the edge with eating to much. I did not pay attention to what I was eating and let me tell you the band screamed at me that I was full and do not eat anymore!!! There was a slight pain in my back and I knew to stop eating! It was great! I was not misarable from overeating!

So far I have not had any negative results from being banded. Hope it continues that way!

Love all these bama bandsters!! That included you, Dibley! We are blessed with some wonderful surgeons down here in our little state.

Barbara, congrats on your weight loss. We did not gain it over night and sometimes it just takes a while to lose it, but you are doing great. I am 57 myself and find it goes a bit slower than when I was younger. Heck, everything slows down when you get older!

      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.
