It has been awhile!

Hello all, I have been reading some of your post and trying to keep up. I hope everyone is doing great. The journey has been great so far, somedays better than others. I had my surgery on September 29th and I would like to report that I am down 58 pounds as of today. I also recieved my first fill and   I was a little nervous because I did not know what to expect. It was not bad at all. I have a total of 5cc's in my band and I will be on liquids until tuesday.   Please keep pushing and never give up. Something that I have realize is that you may not see the weight right away but one day you will see it just fall off and you will be happy. Let me know how you are doing and I look forward to hearing from you all. :rolleyes:

I had the plication and lapband today and did not know I was getting it. So happy with my doctor's decision.

I was told to get to the hospital 6am this morning and I believe my surgery started around 8 ( I dont really know because I was out like lighting). I woke up to a nurse calling my name and feeling a little nauseous but I never threw up. I was in the recovery room for about a hour or so and then rolled back to my room. I was still in and out because the night before I could not sleep. Guess what I did you guys? I ate a piece of pizza and three wedges calling myself celebrating this new journey. My body was not ready for this. My head was spinning, I wanted to throw up and I had a headache. But you know what guys I learned from this and if eating with the band makes me feel this way I DON'T WANT IT. So it was a blessing in disquise! Anyways, I had to drink that nasty fluid (puke) to check for any leaks. It was good. I found out from my doctor that he not only did the lapband (which is not filled yet) he did the gastric plication as well. I was thrilled to know that he did this because it will help in my weight loss. How many had the plication as well? My doctor just started doing this a month ago with the lapband procedure. I am doing great. I am sipping on fluids all day long and I stay full. I think I may have gotten 200 calories today but I am full as I don't know what. So I am just letting everyone know that I am okay. I have so much energy that I impressed the nurses and walk all day long. :) Oh and so far have not had any gas pains and I have little pain. All Glory to God.
