Hello I dont post much I just read but I would be interested in meeting some more people that are banded so I would be very interested in going. My email address is Shae@airmail.net. Please let me know what you all decide. I have only stayed at the Venetian in Vegas so that is the only place that I know of

congratulations on your approval. It is hard work but it is all so worth it in the end.

Betsy thanks for the information. If you wouldnt mind could you please let me know what you are eating. I eat mainly salads with chicken and ground lean beef. I havent really been doing the protein drinks. I know I need to exercise more just finding the time between job and kids is hard. I dont eat breakfeast I feel more restriction at that time. I guess I am eating the wrong things and would like some freash new ideas.

Yes i am going thru AIGB for my fills, that is where Dr. B sent me for my fills. On the first one I did not fill much restriction but since I have had the second one I feel more restriction. No I would not have been able to lose 24#'s myself or I would have lost then gained it back plus some. -
3 weeks tomorrow since banded!

Hello again I see that everyone is talking about exercise. I have not started yet I was always real shy about geting out in front of people to exercise,but now that I have lost 28 lbs I have more confidence in myself. So starting Monday I am starting an aerobics class, I am really excited. I just hope my knees hold up I am at a stand still on my weight but I go for a fill on 1/30/07 so maybe that will help me. I find my self getting fustrated though when I step on the scales which is every Monday do you think that this is to often? How often are some you all stepping on the scales. Look forward to talking to everyone some more.

Hello everyone I am new to the board. I had the surgery done in Nov. 2006. As of today I have lost 25lbs. I went for my first fill on Dec 26th. I am amazed by how much better I feel since the weight loss. I do have questions about what everyone eats to help with the weight loss. I am stuck and cant figure out what would be best to eat. I live in Texas and had my surgery in Dallas by Dr. Benevidas, everyone there has been great so far. I look forward to talking to all soon
