Hi there,

New. Surgery was 3/7/08. today was my first post-op visit. All went well. I am even allowed to have some food now. Had cottage cheese and cannot believe how full I am. This was a hard decision for anyone to make but I do not regret it.

:biggrin2: Hey ggb64! Congratulations on getting the band ~ I hope everything is going great for you, and continues to go well. I am waiting for my info. to be submitted for ins. approval and I can't wait. Did you have any problems at all? What was the worst part of it, if you don't mind me asking.

By the way, I am in Salisbury, NC, where are you in NC?

Well, welcome to the forum & you'll have to keep us posted on your progress.

Hi!! I am form NC and scheduled for next Thursday. Did you have a post-op 2 week liquid diet? If so, what did your diet consist of? Good Luck on the weight loss

No problems whatsoever. My timing would have been quicker but I had to wait for college to break. I am not unhappy at all. this has been the best thing I could have done. what a great tool for weight loss. My first postop was yesterday and I was down 15 from surgery date and 22 in all. yes. i was on OptiSource until yesterday. Can have cottage cheese, yogurt, peanut butter and eggs/egg substitute now. very happy :biggrin:

Hey Y'all! I'm from Greensboro, NC. I had my surgery on Feb. 12th. I go for my first fill next week and I can't wait! I was surprised at how quickly my stomach swelling went down and I was able to eat just about anything without too much trouble (although I can't eat as much as I normally would). But I'm ready for my first fill so that I can start losing weight. Unfortunately, I'm one of the ones that hasn't lost any weight since the surgery:cursing::biggrin:
