    Calling all April Bandsters!!!!

    Hi Everyone, I haven't posted in so long because I'm so discouraged,my doc wouldn't give me a fill until I was eight weeks out. Surgery was April 11th to this day I'm only down 23 lbs.I feel like I'll never see any progress. The scale hasn't moved in weeks. I will see him on fri. but afraid he'll say I not tryong or something. I can eat way to much. I don't feel any restriction at all. I'm starting to get depressed. He is stingy with fills. Tweety

    Two steps backward

    I understand how you feel. I was banded April 11,08 lost only 23 lbs thus far. Only one fill my doc is very stingy with fills. I'm getting so fustrated. Maybe we'll get restriction after a coule of fills.

    I had to be on liquids a full 3 weeks, did your doctor say it was ok to eat thid soon? The stomach needs time to heal, I feel you are rushing it a bit to soon.Good Luck.

    When will I get skinny?

    I'm with you guys all the way, I was banded April 11 th. and had my fill 11 days. I still don't feel any restriction, everyone says be patient. I'm starting to feel like the weight loss won't really ever happen. I have lost 22lbs. but it has slowed down dramantically. I guess we have to wait and see. Good Luck we can win this battle with weight we have the tool.

    Surgery Tomorrow!!!

    The best of luck to the both of you. I will be hear before you know it. I won't lie expect some pain and discomfort. I will say this, it goes away pretty quickly. Take your pain meds. I was banded on fri April 11,08 I'm so happy with my decision so far. My weight loss thus far is 23lbs. just do what the doctor tells you to do and you'll be fine. Colleen
  23. I haven't had my first fill yet, but if you have a question in your mind it's always best to call you doctor. Put yourself at ease and give them a call. Colleen
  24. GiGiRN I tried to update my new weight I couldn't get it to work before surgery was 231/suegery217 now 208 Thanks for your help!!!!!! Colleen
  25. My ins. was an hmo they did everything to prevent me from being approved. I would proceed with caution. Don't loose to much weight under the 40 bmi you will have a better chance for approval if you stay closr to 40 bmi. Just my opnion. I finally got approved after appealing the decision the hmo group made. Colleen PS. Its worth the fight !!!!!
