July 18, 200917 yr Hello All, I was banded on July 9th, and just had my first follow up appointment this past Wed. Since I started my Journey with a insurance required 6 month supervised diet I have lost almost 60lbs. I cant believe how much better i feel these days. I also am off all 8 of my medications. (could be becasue I have not eaten in 3 weeks ) :cursing: I wish everyone that is getting ready to have the surgery the best of luck.

August 15, 200916 yr hi there. i had my realize band the same day 7/20. i've only losy 9lbs. im so upset because i want to lost so much more. what am i doing wrong????? No worries! The first 4-6 weeks your body is healing. I was banded on 7/28 and have lost 7 lbs post-op. It's all good :biggrin:
August 15, 200916 yr I was banded on July 28th too. I have not ever added my name and date so there is that done! LOL. I had my 2 week post op last week. All was fine. Got the go ahead to eat regularly. He said theat I should stear away from all carbs (bread especially) and steak. He even said that those were 2 things he told patients to avoid if possible forever. I have absolutely no probs with a slice of wheat bread with my tuna salad though. Hope it will not cause any probs?! Anyway get my first fill on 8/26 and I am a bit nervous (just the idea of the needle and all). My weight loss had stopped and even increased til yesterday when from wed til fri. I dropped 7 pounds. I thought woohoo. Then I started hee hee it was water weight. C'est la vie.
