Got my band 12/4. 1st follow up 12/10. 1st Fill 12/26. So far, so good! I'm feeling great. Started at 265. Surgery day 257. Follow up 247. First fill 248. Wowwwwww only 1 pound after a holiday! I'm loving this. No pain, no pb; just learning to listen to my band.

You sound like you are doing really well. Good luck on your journey

Doing great Milliekay! You are on your way to the New Year and new you!! Congrats! Karen..aka.kll724

Sounds like you're off to a good start. Keep up the good work.

I'm a Dec bandster as well. Sounds like you're really off to a great start.

For me: 12/16 was surgery date. 12/30 was 1st follow up and I lost 8 lbs! I don't receive my first fill till 6 weeks out 1/27 .

I was banded on 12/27 I don't have my first follow up til 1/14. My daughters had doctor appointments today so I decided to weigh myself and I'm done about 9 lbs. My heaviest weight was 284 surgery day I was 255 and today I'm 246. I'm a little disappointed I thought I would lose more especially after being in the hospital for 4 days with little to drink. But I guess just sitting or laying around isn't going to do much.

Congrats on the weight loss Millie!

Banded Dec 13th I've lost 19 lbs so far. Fill is next Thursday.

I was banded 12/10 down 18 pounds as of last week. Feeling good first fill on the 9th. Started off at 224. Can't wait almost under 200...

Very good!

I was banded 12/19/13, I've lost 20 lbs so far just on the pre-op and post-op diet; in addition, I am walking 1 mile a day. Post-op visit with my surgeon today 1/7/14 and first-fill will be 1/17/14. So far so good, just tired of mushie foods.

Good luck to all! Happy 2014.

Banded 12/16. Down 21 lbs. first fill is 1/13. Tonight I ate quiche. Crust free. I thought I would be ok bc it's egg. It sat on my stomach like a brick. Tonight was the first time I have had an issues with something I ate. Actually had mild stomach pain. Never eating that again.
