Hi I'm Shannon. I go into surgery April 3rd. I've been on the pre-op diet for three weeks. I can't wait to get this overwith. I'm ready to start eating small multiple times a day and learning what it's going to take to lose the weight and keep it off. :teeth_smile:

Smgallop, WELCOME!!!!!

There is a wealth of support here. Ask any questions you want. Congratulations on your new journey!!! You will hear this over and over again. The BAND is only a tool. You have to use it properly. You will learn how to do this through the process. It takes a few fills/adjustments to get to whatever the proper restriction is for you. There is no magic number. Oh and behavior modification is still important.

Again, WELCOME!!!

Who will be your doctor?

Dr. Collier will be my doctor. He's with Journey Lite.

Hey smgallop I am in Texas also and being banded on 4/2. Good luck!

Good luck to you as well. Please let me know how it goes when you get up and around again.

:shades_smile:Hey Bunny,

Dr. B also did my surgery. I was banded on March 13th and LOVING it. He is a great Dr.!! I am about 3 weeks post-op and have stopped losing weight, but I am also walking anywhere from 2 to 4 miles a day. I am not really hungry and do not get my first fill until the 14th - any suggestions on keeping the weight going down?
