I was banded 10-22 and am doing great! Feel all back to normal, just can't eat as much as before. Still on smushies for another 2 weeks. Won't have first fill until 12-1. Hope everyone keeps up the good work. Kelli

Hi Sherri:

I'm so glad you are doing better!!!! Congratulations on losing another three pounds. My wife was banded on 9/30 and has had two fills so far. She didn't feel any difference after the first and only a little difference now. I was banded on 10/29 and get my first fill next Friday. My surgeon keeps stressing the importance of not starving myself. He said the body goes into starvation mode and it will make losing wait after the fills much harder. Take care and enjoy this dreary day in the northeast. Jim

Hello, i was banded on the 22nd last year and have lost 89 lbs it takes time but you will get there....

I was banded 10-07-09 and have already lost 21 lbs. Things are looking good... man i love my band!

Yay I get to join the people of already been banded now! As of 10/26/09 (Monday) I was banded! I cant believe the day finally arrived! I'm so sore, but so thankful I chose to take this step in my life! From the pre-op diet, I was already down 18.6lbs total. My goal by christmas is 30lbs total. Anyone think that's too outrageous of a goal? Just curious!

We have a pretty long thread going in the Pre Op section called October Bandsters. Feel free to join us :smile2:

Hopefully once the month is over, all of us October 2010 Bandsters can get on 1 thread. Would be great support.

WHooo hoo!!!! I am officially going to be an OCTOBER Bandster!! I get my band on the 29th! I am ECSTATIC! I had all of my pre testing yesterday! I had to do a EKG (harmless) some blood work (also harmless) and an Upper GI (harmless but YUCK!:smile:) hahah that Barium drink is horrible!! It was so thick and chalky! But it was well worth it! I think I would do it once a week just so I can have the band! hahaha I hope everyone else has a great journey!:grouphug:
