Banded in 2006.......Starting over.. Need support
sweetgagrl00 replied to ardeornellis's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I'm so proud of you both for taking the steps to restart your weight loss journey. I've only been banded since January of this year but I see the key is getting fills as needed. I had my last fill the end of June and I'm still pretty tight. I'm nervous about not getting a fill this month per my doctor's advice but I think I'm still going to go in for accountability purposes. I should be ready for another fill in August. -

Hi all. I was banded 1/15/15. This has been the best 6 months ever. Pic on the left was taken at the end of June and on the right December 2014. -
That must be so exciting! I'm so happy for you.

No weight loss in a week and a half
sweetgagrl00 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Stressing a little. Since January 1 when I started my prep until February 12 I has lost 37 pounds. I've not lost anything since. I've had bronchitis and a sinus infection for about 2 weeks and wonder if the medication could be playing a part in this? -
It's great that you have started trying to lose weight already. The transition to your new life won't be such a shock to your system.
-
As far as the surgery I've done great. No issues at all. I'm down 41 pounds since Jan 1 when I started the prep and procedure on Jan 15. I've been sick the past 2 weeks and on prednisone and antibiotics so that has slowed my weight loss down but I've not gained.

So excited for you! I'm a month post-op. You'll do great!

Are you eating as you should or are you eating slider foods? Make sure you get in all your protein :-)

Where is your port?
sweetgagrl00 replied to MattLAustin's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have 2 small incisions. One just below the breast line and the other in my belly button. My port is just above my belly button. -
Hi, Has anyone gotten a fill earlier than 4 weeks post-op?

Fill question
sweetgagrl00 replied to sweetgagrl00's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
The closest location is the one where I had my surgery and my Dr is the only one who does the fill. I pray that I've healed enough by Thursday to get the fill. -

Lap Band Post Op Day 8
sweetgagrl00 replied to Babylvrrn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@wvandemark I think experiencing hunger is different for everyone. My sister thought she'd starve to death before her first fill and I'm 9 days out after surgery and I'm hardly ever hungry. I'm so excited for you! -
Nausea & gas - how long!
sweetgagrl00 replied to ljcags's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It took about 9 days after surgery for the actual gas pains to go away. I still feel somewhat bloated. -
Hi, I'm looking for shakes other than strawberry, vanilla, and chocolate. Does anyone know of a berry, peach, mango, tropical, etc?

Excited and crazy nervous! I have to be there by 8am and surgery at 10am. Looking back on the last two weeks of prep it was not too bad and went by quick.
