Hi everyone, I am so excited. I was a 22 when i got my band, Today i put on a size 18. Fit just fine. Also , I CAN CROSS MY LEGS!!!! YEA!!!........so cool. Donna:plane::Banane45::first::horn::cheer2::banana:success1:

Let me tell you....it's GREAT!!!! I just went for my 4th fill yesterday. My surgeon was there and stopped in to say hi. When he saw I had lost 11 pounds in one month he wigggled his eyebrows up and down and said "It WORKS, doesn't it!" and I said It sure DOES!!!!!" I just graduated to size 14 pants (still have new size 16s and size 18s!!!!!). With me, I can get down on the floor to open file cabinets at work without CRAWLING up the cabinets to get on my feet!!!!

:whoo:

That is so cool, congratulations to you both!! Ahh this thread makes me so super excited.. I can't wait to get my first fill and start melting too!!

Most have their first fill 6 weeks post-op. That's in insure that you have healed and have begun to slowly introduce regular food. They want to determine from your food consumption and weight loss to date how much restriction you currently have so that they can gage how much of a fill to give you.

awesome!! :clap2::clap2:

Congratulations! Great NSV! Keep it going, this is just the beginning!

I took my measurements & I'm down 24.50 inches total so far. :whoo:The scale hasn't moved in almost two weeks (stopped at -24 lbs) but I'm still melting away. I was in a 24 for pants (waist was a little big to start). Now they are hanging off me, not falling yet but close.

Now I get to go shopping through my wardrobe to find a smaller pair. Not sure what size I am yet (22 or 20) until I find the pants.:biggrin1:
