Holy Cow George!! 125 pounds since January? Wow. I am being banded on 8/21 with the realize band. I can't believe you have had no fills yet. That is awesome. I was originally told by my Dr's nurse that the initial placement of the band offers no restriction and that I would not have restriction until I got filled. Clearly you are an exception to this rule!! Well, good luck Monnie & congrats George!! I will keep the board posted on my progress.

I start liquids this Thursday for pre-op and I am not thrilled about that, but I cannot wait to be a normal size again!!

You won't have long to weight now. I did have restriction in the hospital. Think it was surgery that caused band area to swell. A week later I got permission to go swimming. When I went to the bottom of deep pool I could feel my band. liquids were my hardest time. I just ate (drank) Jello & broth. I didn't know about flavored whey Protein Shakes. You should get a hold of Dr. Curry of Cincinnati, Ohio. He has several web sites (one is Q+A). He has several patients with realize band, better results than me. Wish You the Best of Luck, Lite Duty, Hasta Pronto, George:thumbup::):thumbup:

Hey Monnie,

DId you have your surgery? I have been banded since feb.07 and have lost 152 lbs. I will be going in in Oct. to have my band removed and replaced with the realize band. ( due to slippage) I now have a 4cc. band and my Dr. said this one will hold 10cc's I think he said.

Good Job on your weightloss george..I am happy for you. Feels great huh? keep up the amazing work.

Heather, did you have surgery? post how your doing.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.
