Well, I had my first fill a little over a week ago, the first couple of days after... I was STARVING! It has gotten better slowly but I still get hungry sooner than before my fill. I read somewhere that it takes a couple of adjustments to notice a difference sometimes. The weight loss has slowed down but I am still holding at about 25lbs lost so far. Hope everyone else is doing well.
Everything is still going well. I have a lot of my energy back now. One problem, now after 6 days I have the gas pain under my shoulder in the back and high chest in the front. I should have know it was going to get me. Post-op diet is a breeze no real physical hunger only mental craving. Hope all is well for the rest of my bandsters
I got my band placed yesterday 9/10/10. So far so good. I am really sore but no extreme pain at all. I do much better walking around than laying or sitting because its really hard getting back up.I will update later.
I finally got my approval. My date is Sept 10. I start my pre-op diet on August 25 or so. I am relieved, excited and scared to death. This site has been so much help to me during my journey even if no body ever talks back:smile2:
I have finally finished my insurance and physician requirements. Now I await approval and a date. Does it usually take long for them to get back to you with an answer?
This is my first attempt at blogging. I am a a little over half way through my insurance mandated 6 month work-up. All is looking good for a early August placement date. I am sooo looking forward to starting my new life. I wish I could have done this years ago. I have been reading other stories and I am so encouraged by everyone!!:smile:
