I myself am new to this forum. I was banded 11\4\10 and have lost 22 pounds. I just wanted to be healthier and here longer for my husband and two girls as well. I am feeling better about myself and see a difference, just want faster results. My Dr. is not about the liq diets and such, says that is not how I will live normaly and wants me to get used to making better choices for my life. I am forced to now, but I still have cravings and such , just getting better about itt..slowly! I have 50 pounds to go to reach my goal and I can not even imagine being there after so many years of being overweight! but here we go and I am very excited! I think being on this site will help when I have questions and concerns too...We do not have any support groups here were I am from...YET!

I was banded on 11\4\10 I had a fill about three or four weeks after and it was NOT fun! but I am a wimp! Since , they have given me this RX for a numbing cream and I put it on about an hour or so before I am to go in for a fill. IT TOTALLY HELPS~! I have had to go in to the after hours clinic on my last fill becasue I could not swollow my own spit! it was TERRIBLE!!! I was fine all day prior to that night tho! BAD STUFF! The second he took a bit out I had comfort! So, now I am sitting at a 22 pound weight loss and feel stuck! I see and hear about all these people who lose so fast and have such great results....I am slowly going in the right direction, but want so musch to be at my goal..ALOT FASTER!!! I know everythng happens in its own time though and I do not wish to be a bunch of saggy skin and yuck! Hopefully this slow pace will allow my skin to bounce back ! I have another 50 pounds to go before I meet my goal.....HOw ARE YOU DOING?
