Congrats! Congrats! It is so nice when moms notice and tell you, too. So I guess you will be at old navy more now.

Congrats. Mine was April 18 and YOu are ahead of me. I have lost 50lbs. I only have one fill. I feel like it might be time for another one. Keep up the good work. Good luck.

Sorry to hear what is happening to you. My swelling lasted 16 days. I could not swallow my own spit. I stayed on IV's for 16 days. Then the swelling went down just like the doctor said it would. Just hang in there is does get better and do not push on the the next stage follow your doctors instructions. And yes you will get your fill. My doctor is going slower with me which is great by me. Good luck.

I am married to a awesome guy, 3 wonderful kids, 1 great daughter in law, 1 super son in law, 3 lovable grandkids, 2 new grandkids on the way.(Oct. & Mar.) I work full time in Texas. Dont have time for crafting but did love doing them years ago. Dont like football unless my boys were playing in highschool. I enjoy camping, swimming, & boating with my family. I have lost 40lbs!

Paula: Good luck to you! Please Let us know how it works out for you. Thanks for sharing.

Congrats! My daughter just found out she is having a baby, too! It is so exciting...

Hi I was banded April 18. I have lost 40 lbs. First 2 weeks I was so tight I was on portable IV's. Then The swelling went down. June had a fill. Right now I keep losing a few pounds and going up a few pounds. I guess it might be time to get another fill.

Kylie: Good luck to you and your MOM. You seem so mature for a person of your age. Keep us updated. Sleep tight.

mercedes Hi I am 3 mos with my band. I felt the same way right before. Which is good you have researched and know what to expect. I best thing about the band is that I do not think about food 24/7 like I used to. Now I just think of how much Protein I am getting from that food choice. Wow that is great. I still go out but I eat very small amounts. Maybe a salad with meat. I really eat more at home cause I can control my intake better. Just chew chew and eat small bites. You will feel when you need to stop. I did not tell everyone and they do not seem to notice that I eat different. Except that I do chew more and I don't talk as much when I am eating. The liquid really went fast. Just keep things around that you like. And try to eat a tablespoon then wait. sugar free fruit ice is good. I use a bullet mixer, which is great. Walk, Water, sip, chew and walk, water, sip, chew!!!!! Good luck you will do fine.

Hi I was banded on April 18, 2005. I lost 25 lbs that first month. 1st fill was June 14. I have lost 38 lbs to date. I have alot of energy which really is great. I feel wonderful. Still working on the protein trying to get it in and water also. Thanks for this site.

I live in MidCounty please let me know when and where and times.

Good Luck! Hope the liquid time goes fast for you. Good Luck again.
