April 20th was my one month surgiversary . Had my month one post op with the surgeon on the 23rd ..I'm down 26lbs ..10lbs of fat BMI went from 43 to 39

I've been eating all Protein ..only carb intake has been from fruit and vegetables and practically drowning myself in Water which is helping tremendously with the "bathroom visits " ☺️ .

My surgeon checked my band and said that it looked perfect so no fill was needed ..said I was doing great and cleared me to start working out ...????????

I'm extremely happy with my progress..I'm down a size in shirts and pants ....it's still a little weird adjusting to my pants being too big and being able to wear clothes that I still have tags on in my closet but I'm getting used to it little by little

I think my biggest struggle will be my head catching up to my body changes .????????????????????

Good job, just keep your eyes on healthy foods and the lbs will continue to melt away!

Great job @@ivona0909 !!

As long as you're loosing weight, that's all that matters....

One month after surgery I began gaining the weight back that I lost from the pre-op and post op diets....

Had my first fill at one month, and 2 more after that one month apart.

It was only then did the band start to "work it's magic" and the real weight loss began.

I have read here before about people doing just fine without a fill.....you might be one of those.

BTW, when you day the Dr. "Looked at your band" and it all "looked good".....what did he do? Did you have a fluoroscope or just x-rays? I've heard some Dr.'s do this...mine does not...just asks a lot of questions and had me drink Water after a fill.

Good for you!

Sorry for the late response !

When I go to see my surgeon he has me stand in front of an X-ray machine and we do a swallow test ( not sure what that liquid is called but it's disgusting ????)anyway we watch it as it goes down its really interesting

From the last time I was there my band was tight enough that I didn't need an adjustment ..I'm following my doctors orders strictly so so far so good

WOW that's great...I sometimes wish my Dr. did that...he always had me drink water before I left the office.

Good job! I'm sure you'll keep up the good work!
