Hey Lynne,
How are you doing??? Great, I hope. I have lost 29 lbs since surgery and 11 before. Every week I have had a loss, it is great. How much have you lost since surgery? Are you feeling well, I pray you are. Just thought I would check in and see what is going on. Talk soon.

Well, 3rd fill is the 13th.. I hope for some restricton soon. Im ready for this band to start working.

Im an April,2011 bandster, My Dr told me no excersicing other than walking for 6 weeks. You dont want to do anything to cause that band to slip. Keep in mind you have stitches around your band and they need time to heal. So be careful.

Any July 2011 Bandsters?

Hi to all new or up coming Bandsters... i was banded on April 12th and i wanted to say Congrats to you and your new upcoming life. I been reading some of your posts and if you have any questions any of the long time bandsters will answer your questions. I did want to tell you that this was one of the easiest surgeries Ive ever had. The one thing i do want to tell you is: After your surgery,soon as you can, get outta that bed and move around(walk around in the house) that will help with the gas pain you will experience.But if you intend to lay in the bed, you will have alot more pain. I was up the next day after surgery and on the 4th day, I was at walmart..lol As far as the protein, I get mine from Walmart, Whey Protein,5 grams, low calories. CVS also has some,I cant remember the name but it has 25 or 26 grams, it come in a foil bag. My Dr told us to get no less than 60 grams a day so I drink the one from Walmart. Just make sure the calories are low. If you have any questions please ask. Being informed is better than being afarid of the unknown.. Congrats again and good luck.... -
Congrats on your success.. I was banded on April 12th and I cant wait for that kind of result. Once again Congrats!!!

I was banded on April 12th,2011 and everything I have done so far has been great. My advise to you is: soon after your surgery..when you can,get up outta that bed and walk, I mean,If you have to.back n forth in the house. Go for short walks in the yard.(dont over do it though) It help with the gas pain you will be feeling after surgery. And trust me if you lay up in the bed you WILL feel worse with the pain. But all in all, i have had no problems,Im fixing to go for my 3rd fill an i cant wait for that! Ive lost 37 lbs so far. And I walk every day You will be fine.. Good Luck with your new life!!!

I like Whey Protein from Walmart. 52 gm protein with some skim milk.. I like the way it tastes. You need no less than 60 gm a day.

lol i was just makin fun. It a adjustment under floro.. kinda like an ex-ray so they can see where the port is located.

Sweetpea, make sure you check with your Dr about going to a gym this early after surgery. I couldnt do anything but walk for 6 weeks. You dont want your band to slip.
