Hi Everybody,

I was banded on 9/29/08. My first fill is on 11/04/08. I am a little nervous and am always wondering if I am doing the right things. The dietician says I am doing fine but I have not lost any more weight in the last few weeks.

I think this site will be of great help with the journey. :eek:

Hi Mardi! I was also banded on 9/29. You must remember, (even though I know its hard) that the first month is for healing. Once you receive your 1st fill and have restriction you will start losing again. We didn't put the weight on overnight or in a month so it will take time to come off. My sweet husband keeps reminding me that the slower you lose weight, the healthier it is for your body and it will stay off longer.

I'm sure you are doing fine. :wink: Everyone loses @ a different rate and this is not a race. Stay positive! :tongue:

Hey T - are you preparing for your move? How's it going?
