So how are my November bandsters doing? We are almost at our one year surgaversary!!!! How did that happen so quickly?? I would love to hear how everyone is doing??

I am nearly one year out. The only ones who know are my husband and one of my siblings. I told no one else. My kids don't even know. I have always been private about it. I feel it is my decision. I don't need any one else judgments. Everyone has to make the decision as to what they are comfortable with though

Does it show throw your clothes? Like if you wear a form fitting shirt? I am not a goal and don't have that issue yet, but I am concerned that could be a problem. I have not told anyone other than my hubby and one sibling so I am extra paranoid too LOL!!

msapp77 I have the exact same pain. When I do more physical activity it becomes dull and only rest settles it back down. I have had mine since surgery. My doctor has told me it is normal, associated with my port. Over time it has lessened and is only noticeable when I am very active. Hope that helps!!!

shanatx I visit family at least once a year in Corpus....I will be there again in July

Too many reasons to list. But the superficial side is the clothes. I constantly stop in my favorite store to try on the next size smaller. Even if they don't fit because I know one day they will. Like today!!!

Congrats!!! It is soooo worth it!! My weight loss is just now slowing down and that is ok. I am now getting fills. It was the best decision I have ever made for me!!

Check with your surgeons office, they are all different. I had my first fill nearly two weeks ago and no restrictions for me before hand. However, I have a friend who sees a different doctor in the office and she has restrictions.

So thrilled for you!!! Some of the first steps to a healthier you. Keep up the amazing work!!

Hi KyBrownEyes, I am doing great. My weightloss has slowed a little. Just in time for my first fill. I have lost two lbs since that magical .5 cc was put in this past Tuesday. I am not sure if it really was the fill or me being more conscience of eating more Protein again. Which ever it is I am glad to see the scale moving down. 43lbs now since surgery. I was told I am not typical. Heck, I have been told that all my life So glad I have my band. Life if good!!!

Oh my goodness Bandista!!!! What a difference!!! So proud of you. What a difference in your mid section and legs!!! You are doing AWESOME!!!! Keep it up!!!
