My starting wt was 250 lbs on 10-10-11 at which time I stated my pre surgery liquid diet. On the date of my surgery 10-25-11 I weighed 243 lost 7 lbs. At first the weight came off fast. But now I seem to get stuck at the same weight for awhile. Finally this morning I lost another lb. I was 225 for almost 2 weeks and stated to get frustrated but this morning I was 224lbs. I have lost a total of 26lbs. I have not had a band fill yet and am scheduled for that on 12-8-11. Hopefully at that time I'll start to see a little faster wt loss. Does this happen to anyone else?

Well today was my first band fill 6 weeks post op. I did not hurt but felt really weird. The Dr. had a hard time finding my port. He said it happens. He put in 2 cc's so now I have a total of 4cc. I defiantly eat half of what I was able to eat yesterday. Wow it was like 5 bites and that was it. But it will be a good thing since I have been at 224 forever. Well we shall see what the scale says tomorrow.

So I get my first band fill on Thursday and I'm a little nervous but mostly excited. Just a little nervous of the unknown I guess not really the needles. I'm a pediatric nurse so I guess I have that to thank. Anyway still stuck at 26lbs hope this will help boost the wt loss again.

My dr put a patch behind my ear to help with the nausea and they also gave me meds in my IV before and after surgery for the nausea. I had no problems. GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!

Your going to great it is so amazing how good you will feel, well when your not sore anymore. I am 6 wk out have lost 26lbs, Dropped a dress size and am starting to feel better about myself. I am working out harder than I ever have and I feel great afterward. It is so worth takes a little getting used to but listen to your body and the signs it gives you. Your body knows whats best. Good luck and I cant wait to read your future posts on how great your doing and how good you feel.

I also had my surgery on 10-25-11. I have lost 26lbs and get my 1st band fill on thursday. I also have been getting stuck at certain wt's and its frustrating. I am hoping with a band fill it will get the wt loss rolling again. I pretty much eat whatever I want just small portions. I've already had wine but I stay away from sodas they give me gas. I have real bad gas pains at first so bad I thought I was having a heart attack one day. Not to bad now. I'm very excited about my first band fill does it hurt?

@ Crystal I do notice my clothes are fitting better to and I have gone from an 18/20 to a 16. @ Byrd that's awesome I hope I can lose like you to. Thanks Miata Keep up the good work too.

Thanks ya'll have made me feel better.

The gas and port pain was probably the thing I complained about the most after surgery. It will get better. I slept on my left side to and the right side felt better. I have just started sleeping on my left side again and I'm 5 wk out. I went to work the following Monday after my surgery and felt good. My only complaint was not sleeping on my left side and I can now. It wont be long and you will feel much better.
