Let's see. I was banded 8 weeks ago tomorrow, on September the 11th. I have had no problems whatsoever, so far and weight loss has been about the norm. I have lost about 27 pounds so far in 8 weeks so I guess that's about 3 pounds per week. Could be better but oh well, at least I didn't gain.

 

I went for my first fill at 4 weeks postop to Dr. Trace Curry in Cincinnatti, Ohio and he is wonderful and knows his stuff. His office staff are very nice as well. I got 1.75 for my first fill and he said to come back in 2 weeks if it wasn't enough.

 

So, 2 weeks later I go back, it's a little ove 4 hour drive each way and I didn't want to get overfilled so I ask for .5cc and he wanted 1.0 so we agreed to go half way at .75cc which put me at 2.25 and had me stay over night in a hotel and eat soft scrambled eggs the next morning to see if I was going to be too tight or not, as he doesn't charge for unfills. I thought that was very thought ful of him.

 

The fill seemed to be perfect and I do have great restriction but it seems like before, I'm only losing 2 pounds aweek all of a sudden and I can gulp my drink but have pb'd twice on bread. I guess it is just fickle.

 

I'm scheduled for another fill around the 18th of September so I'll see as time gets closer.

 

I've lost almost 40 pounds and only a couple of people have even noticed. That's kinda heart breaking but I'm sure it will come. I still have 80 more pounds to go.

 

I really need to bump up the exercise and the water intake and I know it will speed things up.

 

Well, I guess that's all for now.

Check in tomorrow.
