Hi! I am new here.. was banded on 7/7/08 and haven't had a fill yet. I go 8/7/08 to do that, and I am very excited about it. I have lost only 7 lbs since my surgery and feel like I have NO restriction. It is very frustrating. I can eat whatever I want. I have to use my self control! Just wanted to introduce myself and say I enjoy reading all the posts. They really helped my thru my first days of post surgery!!

Where in Georgia are you from? I was banded on 6-27-08 by Dr Christopher Hart. I get my first fill on 8/14. I am nervous but excited. I too have no resitriction now but following a 800 calorie diet. Not so hard now as I am motivated. Have lost 14 pounds since surgery.

I am from Rome, Ga. My Dr. is Ryland Scott. He is wonderful!! I had my surgery at Floyd Medical Center. They have the most wonderful rooms for you to recover in. The nurses brought me a fresh bouquet of flowers for me to look at until I went home that evening...

Not too far from me. I am in Woodstock Ga. Don't worry about the no restriction. From what I hear that only last until you have a fill. The emphasis is on healing until the first fill not losing weight. If you do lose that is just a bonus. My daughter is getting married in March and I want to lose a total of 95 pounds. I know I will probably only do half of that before the wedding but I need to get a head start. I am a very SLOW loser.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
