Thanks for sharing Marine. I know its crazy but one of my closest friends had the surgery and she suggests flapping your arms like a chicken to get the gas out. She also said she experienced no shoulder pains from gas like other people in her support group had who hadnt "flapped". Im hopefully joining you in the banded world shortly! Be well!:rolleyes:

Hey everyone. I'm Jamie. I'm 28...and a half. I was banded on 3/31/08. I'm single and have been for way too long, no kids. Just me and my little dog. I've lost close to 30 pounds so far. I've had my first fill (well technically I've had one fill then 2 hours later an unfill, then a week later a fill). I'm really glad I stumbled onto the 20's board. Nice to have people around who are the same age.

Oh, I forgot to add that I'm a college graduate with a business degree, but I'm actually going back to school starting this semester for culinary classes.

Hi Jennifer and Jamie. Welcome to the 20's thread.

Jennifer how exciting to be so close to your potential band date. I still have a few hoops to jump through first. But I think its looking like July for me.

Jamie 30lbs thats great! Keep up the good work! And youll find the right person for you when the time is right. Usually when your not looking I know that sounds cliche but Ive always found it to be true.

Hi Jamie...we sound so much a like...I'm also 28 (and a little more than a half), single for a long time, and have two dogs (one big and one small). It's awesome that you have lost 30 pounds in less than two months! I'm really getting excited about having my surgery. I can't wait to talk to my doctor's office on Tuesday, to actually set my date. I'm nervous, which I'm guessing (ok, hoping) is normal. I'm enjoying reading about everyone's successes. I can't wait until I'm sharing mine :biggrin: :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
