Congrats, I had my surgery 1 Day before u, at Roosevelt hospital in n.y.c, if I lost 91 pounds in 15 weeks, I would jump so high and hit the ceiling! I guest it's true that men lose faster than women, keep up the good work.

At St.Lukes/Roosevelt hospital in n.yc, by Dr.Julio Texiera, the best Doc ever!

My skin is not too bad, but my arms are a mess, I go to the gym 4 times a week, and i'm told only the top of my arms will tone, my stomach hangs, but not too bad, i'm using the ab machine, and I see some inprovement! i've been heavy all my life(from age 11) i'm from Antigua,W.I i've been here since I was 5 years old, i'm so happy with my band! my doctor told me to only sip water, I did it in the liquid phase, but not now, and i'm fine! i'm going for my first fill on the 30th, I had my surgery on Jan.24th and as of yesterday, i'm done 62 pounds!best thing i've done in my life:)

It took me two weeks! I didn't like that feeling at all! But I peed like crazy, it was after I went on pureed foods!

I had my surgery on Jan. 24th and I have not had a fill yet, i'm still losing, but I think I need one, because it's taking more to make me full now.

No i'm not shy:) i've been really busy going to the gym 4 times a week, i've lost 58 pounds since my surgery in Jan. and I feel great! and the inches are coming off fast too! I will try to post more often.

I was banded Jan 24th 2008, i've lost 42 pounds already. I don't know how to post pictures:( I was banded by Dr. Julio Texiera At St. Lukes/Roosevelt Hospital in N.Y.C

Hi Mike, I had my surgery at Roosevelt hospital in N.Y.C on jan.24th, I lost 38 pounds already,I just started soft foods on tuesday, I was pain-free within a week after surgery, had little twinges now and then, but no pain, I'm a stomach sleeper and it was very hard sleeping on my back, after a week, I was on my stomach again.

Hi IrishGirl359, u said u are in N.Y.C, Where in the city are u? My Doctor is at St.Lukes Hosptial, but does surgeries at Roosevelt too, that's where mine was done, I wore sweat pants and a tee shirt with a heavy sweat jacket, wore sneakers, because I knew someone would be there to tie them for me, I already lost 38 pounds from 1-24 to now Good luck with your surgery.

What do u all mean by Full liquids? I thought we were limited to 4 oz's every hour? I was banded on 1-24 and I was on liquids for 2 weeks I am not hungry at all! but i'm thirsty I just started soft foods on tuesday and I have lost 38.4 pounds already.:thumbup:
