How ya doing?

I had my surgery on August 9th. I am doing well, just had my second fill today. Wondering how all the August Bandsters are doing..

I hope that everyone is doing well and is happy with their choice to be banded.

Hi Carrie and all you other Aug. bandsters.

I am doing great, 7 weeks post op today and I have lost 22 lbs, still have not gotten a fill don't think I need it yet, as I have lost everyweek but 1, so will see how long I can go. I am feeling so great, lots of energy, and I seem to be in a much better mood most of the time. I really am loving my band. I am not hungry very often and that is a major change for me.

Hope you are all doing good also!!

Hi, Carrie and other August banders. I will have my first fill tomorrow. I need it as I am eating a little too much. Haven't lost anymore weight, but I am so glad that I got this band.

I went to the doctor yesterday (Oct 4, 2005). I lost 21 pounds. I didn't want a fill yet because I am still losing. I will go back in a month and will probably get a fill then. Isn't it great to be losing weight? I can't say that I love my band yet--but I am starting to like it a lot. I feel great!

I am trying to get my ticker to work. I will try again.

I''m still working on the Ticker. Will try one more time. By the way, congratulations to all August Losers!

Hi all! I go today to get a fill! I have been losing every week fine but I can eat more than the 3 or 4 oz per meal. I have lost 24.5 lbs as of yesterday I hope it read 25lbs at the doctors office. I am really concentrating on portion control so that may indicate I need a fill. I dunno, the doc will have to tell me. I will let ya'll know what happens! Great sucess to us all!

I get my first fill today also. Good luck to you and to me! I need more restriction!

Hi everyone,

I have been doing good. I think it's time for another fill. I can eat way more than the 4oz the doctor suggested. I'm going to try and wait two more weeks because it's so far to go for my fills. I have 2cc now.

Carrie, how much of a fill do you have now?

I didn't have a fill, the Doc said I didn't need a fill. I have steadily lost at least 3-4lbs a week. He said if it ain't broke don't fix it. The great news is that I was at 311lbs this morning that is 25lbs gone bye-bye! I am so thrilled. I have my next appointment in 4 weeks. If I have stopped losing steadily by then we will do the fill thingy if I am still losing he said no fill until I am at a standstill. I feel great as long as it is coming off I am cool. I love Shaquita(my band)!

Hey all, I had my surgery on August 12th. I've only lost 11 pounds. I had a fill on September 26th. The weight is not moving yet. Your guys are all doing great.
