Congrats on the weight loss and Congrats in advance on getting into your Grad Program. The Man upstairs has already heard and answered your request.

Hi, I was also told I could take a shower the day after surgery. As far as being intimate is concerned just be careful. I was not given any restrictions.

Congrats!!!!! Keep up the good work.

Congrats.........Wearing a smaller size feels great.

I have the same pain and a tingling sensation in my left shoulder. After the food passes it lingers anywhere from 15-45 minutes. My doctor told me that it was nothing to worry about.

Hi Amjcal, I have one cup of each morning. Most days I use the fat free creamer and on others I use the vanilla. It has not caused me any problems. Good luck Andrea

Hi, I was banded on 03/31/11 by True Results in Richardson and my doctor was Richard Benevides. I was a cash patient and I had a hatial hernia repaired during the procedure. That portion was paid for by my insurance and I paid the difference. The staff at the main office, surgery center,dr's office and aftercare have all been extremely nice. I will say however ,that it does seem a little rushed sometimes due to the volume of patients. Overall I have been pleased with my decision to use them. I go for my 2nd fill this week. Good luck and best wishes on your new life!!!! Andrea

Hi, I was also self pay because my insurance would not cover it. I used my FSA to cover the expenses. Good luck

Guilty as charged , I weigh myself each morning. I admit that it was hard on me after I started on solids because the numbers were no longer going down daily. I now understand the fluctuations and expect them.

Way to go, you look great!!!

Hi Stef I was also banded on 03/31. I have lost 22 lbs but I have noticied that it fluctuates. I have gained a few pounds back but I believe it is due to my cycle. I was afraid to start on regular foods because I didn't want the weight loss to stop. I have to remind myself that although I am back on soilds I am not eating half as much as I used to. I have no restriction in my band. I just stop eating I am never full just ok.
