My name is Sara, I was banded 12/9/08 by Dr. Curry in Cincinnati, Oh. I'm 41, been married for 17 yrs, have 3 awesome, hilarious kids and 2 dogs. I'm glad I found you guys! I have so many ?s and welcome any feedback from likeminded people! Anyone here from Cincy?

Thanks:smile:

Hi Sara,

Welsome to the forum. I was banded 2/6, so I am a newbie. I am the married mother of 7 children and 2 Labrador retrievers. I live in Maryland. Just wanted to say hi and good luck.

Hi,

It was so nice to get a reply this morning. Congratulations! How are feeling? That experience I know about. I have the Realize Band, do you? Wow 7 kids and 2 labs! you must be hilarious!!

Actually I have the Realize Band, it was a surprise. I thought I was getting the Lapband, but woke up with other. Not a big deal. I'm easy going and wasn't attached to one or the other.

I am looking forward to going online and getting that support set up. I need to get the doctors code before I can set up an account. I only have my band number, so I can't get very far.

How has you success been? I know I don't feel very hungry and fill up quickly. The doctor advised to drink 3ozs every hour, but I can't. I fill up quickly. I had an 1oz of cream of crab Soup and am full. I am sure things will loosen up as the swelling goes down. I go back on 2/11 for a follow-up.

sounds like you're doing everything right, take it easy! even if you think you feel fine. do you have a bunch of yellow gunk on your stomach and in your bellybutton (sorry if thats gross, but nobody told me about it. lol
