Spring, TX anyone?

Need a buddy. It would be nice to hang with or chat with someone close to me. It's hard to deal with this alone and only having my mother in my corner.

Oh k so I had my doctors appointment today. Lost three pounds. The head nurse was pleased with my incision said it looked good. So she gave me my first fill. It fell really weird and hurt alil but I handled it. So far I'm doing pretty good. And of course started my liquid diet. I have a 10cc band. My surgeon put 3cc in it and true results just put in another 1cc.

That's great! Congrats! They put a lot of fluid in your band during surgery. I had 1.5cc and they added another 1cc on my first fill so I have only 2.5cc. It's hard to go back to liquids but at least it's only for a couple days! I'm so happy for you! :D

I'm feeling fine. Yea I'm getting fuller alittle faster but not quite staying full. Getting hungry again around the 3 or 4 hour. So I guess I can say I have not reached my green zone. Good luck with ur fill.

I live in Jersey Village, TX and I have really been considering lap band surgery. I am 26 and 265lbs, I've tried everything diets and exercising but only lose about 10 pounds and gain it right back. I have been researching the lap band and it seems like a very scary fix for my problem. I am trying to find someone who maybe has been in a similar situation that could be a mentor or answer questions I have regarding pre op and post op and the procedure itself.
