I didnt feel a "popping" when the needle went in the port. Dont be nervous, WE CAN DO THIS!!

Coolcrystal,

Yes I felt the gurgle, suction feeling?!? It was really wierd but cool all in the same breath,

Lori,

That hunger feeling is gone, thank goodness! My stomach was growling like mad, i didnt know how much more Bandster hell i could take?!

I love my band more and more

I went for my first fill yesterday and it was exactly as described by the earlier Double V's.

I had to actually ask my doctor what size band I had, duh! With all the excitement of the surgery and recovery, I forgot what he told me.LOL:blink:

I have a VG 10cc band. Dr Jacob added 3 cc's for the first fill and said if I didnt feel any different for me to come back next Friday and he would add another CC, otherwise he would see me in a month. When I drank the Water I thought "I have to make this appt for next week, i dont feel a thing :sad:". By the time I got home, I felt different, cant explain what I felt, besides to call it different. Since I hadnt eaten at all at this point I reached for a yogurt and boy-oh-boy it took 15-20 minutes to eat and i was full.:thumbup:

I waited and waited for nausea or something but nope just a full feeling is what i had! AWESOME!:w00t:

How long does restriction last?

ReadySteadyGo,

We are the Victorious Valentine's.

Every single time I find something I was going to through out or donate because it was too small, I try it just in case. Everytime I fall more in love with this tool. Even if the clothes fit snug, it just validates my choice.

I purchased some jeans last summer(for the fall)they fit really nice. Well when I went to wear them they were to small :angry_smile: . Well i tried those same jean on last night and they FIT!! Yippee, I love my band!

I have them on right now.

5 weeks post-op for me march 28, YIPPEE!

So today i was feeling all hungry(the urge came back this past Wednesday) I ate FRIED CHICKEN!! I can rationalize it and say it was just one chicken leg, but that just led me to wanting more! DAMMIT! At first I was annoyed at me but then I realized I stuck to that mushy mess for 2 weeks faithfully one piece of chicken I can shake off and get back on the BAND WAGON.

Tomorrow im back on track.

Good luck everyone

:thumbup::thumbup::biggrin2: I love my BAND :thumbup::cursing::biggrin2:

That is all.

Im trying to find a doctor to do my LASIK surgery in NYC. I created a post about it but i didnt get any replies. So again i ask, Does anyone know of a reputable LASIK surgeon in the NYC area?

Good Luck Suebaby, let me know how it all goes. Thanks Tamika

Yesterday, i walked a total of 1 hour!!!!!!!

I took a cab to the dr then walked from there to the pharmacy, then to the optometrist(visit my friend who wants the surgery(30min visit), then back to the pharmacy(30 min wait) then a cab home. All in all it took about 3 hrs to do all that. I figured with the waiting for the dr, the talk to with my friend, wait for meds it added up to about an hrs walk.

I want to thank everyone for the congrats.

I didnt buy a scale because of my compulsive nature and it was killing me not to know how much i weighed. I would sit here and look at everyones ticker wondering and driving myself nuts(silly i know), so im going to buy one Friday. Hopefully I can keep it in check or im going to toss the thing in the trash.

Just keep swimming Double V's!!!!!!!!

BTW, Milk of Magnesia is my new bestfriend

caltrate has Vitamin d too
