76 lbs gone since June 3rd i want more i will get more!! Now im really looking for a good guy to have a good relationship with... are there anymore good guys left out there?? haha going to be 21 July 28th of this year im super excited [: and now that im almost 80 pounds down i'm a totally new person i'd do everything all over again if i needed too [:!

Hi everyone, its been ages since I've been on here seeing as how i used to live on here. I was Banded June 3, 2008 and i just had my 1st fill yesterday (7 months after surgery) I'm 20 years old and my starting weight was 365 I'm now down to 297.8 (according to the doctors scale). i have the V-something band haha but it can hold over 10cc's. My doctor, Dr. Prachand, filled me 5cc's my diet consists of 3 days thick liquids, 1 week mushies, back to regular. Yesterday i stressed my self out, it fill wasn't as painful as i expected, actually the numbing agent was more painful than the fill itself. I wasn't hungry at all yesterday but i had to get something in just so i wasnt hurting my body so i made myself some cream of chicken soup with milk and 2 slices of cheese and ate til full then put the rest in the fridge. Same for today cream of chicken and slimfast protein shake with added protein --> (down to 293.8 this morning) I'm wondering if i should feel a hardcore restriction since my fill was so high up in cc's??

Yeah my doctor said as long as i was losing 1-2 lbs a week that i wouldn't need a fill. Once that happened (weight loss stopped) then i'd have to come in for a fill asap... I figured being able to continue to lose weight without a fill was good i hope thats the right mind frame and since my weight loss slowed/stopped within the last month i decided to talk to my doctor about a fill and yup yup he said its about time i came back hahaha but he was amazed that i had lost so much without a fill. I was schedualed to get a fill 6 weeks after surgery but i was still going 1-2 lbs... [:

Hey everyone Im 20 years old and I started off at 365 im now down to 308. My band was put in about a little over 3 months ago on June 3rd of 2008. I have really started to notice a lot of hair when i even pull my fingers through my hair. Its coming out root and all not breakage. Any suggestions are welcome i really need help! im going tomorrow to get my hair cut shorter so its not so noticeable )= I loved my long thick hair please let me know if theres anything I can possibly change to get my hair to grow back in and or stop falling out! :crying::wink2:

That was my whole goal in getting banded. I want to live i am soon to be re-born by my own choice (= im so ready!! Thank you all for your support I know im young but mentally I am very wise beyond my years to have made this decision on my own, my doctor didn't even have to suggest it to me i suggested it to him and he was taken aback by it actually but i pushed though for the last 2 years and finally im where i am supposed to be

Hiii everyone! Im Nicole Rose im 19 years old and im from Chicago IL. 2 months and 1 day till im out of my teen years )= Currently i have 2 jobs but one is "letting me go" because i have this surgery planned and need 2 weeks off since its a physically demanding job (SAMS CLUB) and the other job is the same physically demanding status but they are willing to work with me (Gordon Food Service MARKETPLACE aka GFS) I am a full time college student majoring in Dentistry. I have been heavy all of my life but that stops now! I am gettin banded June 3rd and my life is going to change and im sooooooo ready for it. I've been trying for this surgery for 2 years now and finally they have givin me the go ahead [= I am both mentally and physically ready for this. I have been on my 2 week pre-op liquid diet since May 19th now and yes i cheated only once but i worked it off in a 3 mile walk -claps-

Hey everyone its been a while since i've been back on here but yeah im backkkk [= Oh FYI i was denied then i sent in an appeal and i have been accepted so im very happy my surgery is schedualed for the 27th of May and i have been told that i have to use Lovenox after the surgery for 2weeks;self inject 2 times daily, this really scares me and i havent heard of it before has anyone had to do this? And does anyone have any suggestions for pre-op diet stuff? and what to wear to surgery and has anyone had vivik prachand before how was he? what were his pre-op and post-op requirements? What were ur nutritionists recommendations for how much Protein to intake? I'd greatly appreciate any info given to me (= thanks loves!!<3 Pre-op work-May 19th Surgery day- May 27th Surgeon- Vivik Prachand; University of Chicago

Hey yeah some ppl are like that and I appoligize for them. I havent been banded yet but im sorta in the position you are. My op is set for the 27th of may. I have lost 13 some odd pounds by using the weight loss pill called Meridia but i dont want to have to be popping weight loss pills for the rest of my life,ya know? I have felt the same way you do but i figure, honestly its your life and your decision but if you know that when you do lose weight and it eventually comes back and comes back with a fury, then wouldn't you want to have the support of the band that will help you keep the weight off and begin a new life?
