I wanted to check in with anyone else who got banded Jan 16th. How are things? Having any troubles? Share your success!

I just got home from getting my first fill. It was such a good experience. It didn't hurt at all, which I was glad about. I have a 10cc band and the Dr put 3cc's in. He told me my weight loss so far is great and that I'm doing great. So I'm on liquids today, then mushies tomorrow. They had me drink a bottle of water (I could only drink half though) in the office before I left and it was a little hard at first but got easier.

I'm sure everyone is doing great! Keep up the good work!! :biggrin:

I too was banded on Jan 16th. Down 18 pounds so far! I go in for my second appt. on March 4th, he may do a fill not sure yet. I am doing great thou. Had a couple of things that didn't set right with me. One was crab and the other was chicken:cursing:.

I lived in Queen Creek, AZ for 8 years. Husband was stationed at Williams AFB, Chandler, AZ:cool2:.

I've heard that from someone else about crab, weird! I would die if chicken didn't go well with me! 18lbs is great! Keep up the good work! :thumbup:

Queen Creek has grown soooo much in the last few years, it's crazy! Fun that you used to live there!

I was banded Jan 16th and I am also down 18 lbs!! I am doing great so far. I still have to slow down when i eat tho. My next appointment is on the 27th and thats when I should get my first fill.

I haven't tried chicken yet since my surgeon told me to introduce that last. But I have been able to eat l ots of steak and thick juicy pork chops.

correction....I am down 22lbs!! Woo HOO!
