Hi everyone, It's been so long sense I have been on here, over three months. I have not lost any weight in those three months but this last fill I think will do the trick. I'm at about 6.1 cc's now and it really feels tight, but not too tight. I'm really happy where it is right now. This coming Tuesday the 12th. I'm doing to go and do some bowling, Than go see the movie AVATAR in 3D, than go to my support group meetings that night. It's going to be a very busy day. I hope to be on here more often now. Don

PS: My wife is still not losing weight and her health is not getting any better. I don't think she wants to have the surgery but not sure. I'm going to ask her again soon. Hard to get an answer out of her sometimes. She turns 65 in Dec, so her surgery, with the insurance we have, it would not cost us anything. Thank you for asking. Don

Hi everyone, Just had my 3rd fill (0.5cc's; total 3.5) and have finally started losing again. My Doc said I lost 4 lbs since last time. I did not think I even lost that much. I'm going to try to to get below 200 lbs, that's 17 or more lbs by the end of the year. It sure would be nice to get rid of that 200 number. Glad to see everyone it doing well. Pre-op people, your time will come. I did not think my time would ever get here, now I'm 10 months out. Hard to believe. until next tome to all us losers, that's a good word here, Don

Again, sorry I don't post all that often but I'm still here. I'm still at about the same weight for over a month myself. I'm bouncing between 218 & 220. I have a Doc/s appt on 8-26 and hope to get a fill. I'm sure I need it. I noticed that I can eat more than I should before I feel full. I'm going to try to break below 200 by the end of the year. It sounds like everyone is doing very good, if their losing slow or not. Just hang in there, Don

Hi everyone, Now I can't believe it's been almost 9 months sense my surgery. I think I'm about ready for a small fill. My next appt is Aug. 26th, So I'll see how I do by than. Just this past week I noticed how good I feel and am in very good spirits. I'm going to my next support group meeting Tuesday night (July 14th) and take my wife (Nina) to a seminar on the 23rd. I think these meeting are so important to keep you going. Everyone keep up the good work. Don

Yes, it is the same thing as the Lapband. May look a little different but does the same thing. Mostly just a different Brand & company. Don

I changed my Avatar picture and added two pictures to the Picture & Album link. I don't know how to put a picture to this area or anywhere else. Don

HI everyone, I'm now at 49 lbs down, that was a nice surprise the last time I weighed myself. I'm going to change my picture soon. I'll try to post a "before" & "after" pic soon. I'm even amazed how much different I look. As for my wife, she still has not change in her weight lose goal, still not losing. (she is not Banded). Once in a while I ask her if she would be interested in being Banded. She does not say much but I know she has thought about it. She turns 65 in Dec '09 so would be covered by Medicare. Her BMI is 38 with medical problems so she would be eligible. Time will tell. Love to all, Don
