Well I'm so sorry I missed out on lunch with you all. I had really planned on going. But I wasn't feeling quite up to par and the 50 minute trek didn't sound too appealing to me that day. I have been absolutely ravenous :hungry: and I'm not impressed. I haven't stepped on the scale for a week now and I don't want to. I had lost 15 pounds between the pre-surgery diet and after the surgery, which was June 6th. I go for my first fill next Monday and I'm ready. :whoo: I'm praying that it gets this appetite back under control. I know it's all normal, but you just want and expect more. I hope everyone had a Happy and Safe 4th of July. God Bless hugzzz, Diane.

I just might tag along, how will I know you all????

Well I attempted to post once, no idea where that disappeared to, lol. I was banded on June 6th by Dr. R at Carle Clinic. So far so good, woke up from surgery with a raging headache that lasted for four days. Dr. seemed to think it was anesthia related. Once I jumped through that hoop it's gone well. Have some soreness yet and redness around two of my sites. Felt good restriction like all of us did early on. But now, not so much. I spoked with Dr. R and he said I can come in on July 9th for my first fill. I was originally scheduled for my first fill on July 19th. So I'm very anxious to get my first one out of the way. I seem to be tolerating most foods ok at this point, I know that will change in the very near future. I found out that rice is NOT :mad: my friend. I won't be trying any of that in the near future. Oh by the way I live in Dalton City, which is a very small town southeast of Decatur. I am about 40-45 minutes from Champaign. And I'm soooo happy to have found all of you here. God bless us on our journey....xoxoxoxo :whoo:

Hello neighbors, I'm a little south of Decatur and was banded on June 6th by Dr Rohrsheib in Clinton. I'm very pleased with him and all of his staff. Very informative group of people. I have lost 13 pounds so far, those last two pounds keep bouncing back and forth. I get my first fill on July 19th. Starting this past Monday I started having some abdominal pain. Talked to the Dr personally, twice he doesn't think it's lapband related. He says I should be out of the woods now with any surgical complications. So I'm not sure if I have a bug or what is going on. I cannot wait to get my first fill to enjoy that restriction that I had right after surgery. It has since passed somewhat. I've also had my first taste of food getting stuck, NOT pleasant to say the least. But my overeating has to stop and I guess if that's what it takes, then bring it on, ha!!! God bless all xoxoxoxox
