I just got back from my checkup too - and also lost 10 lbs since surgery (December 3). Wahoo! He said he likes his patients to loose 15 lbs in the first month . . . so I'm in OK shape (well not physically lol). I have an appointment for January 2 for my first fill. He said he is pretty agressive . . . and we will see what happens then. He said I can do anything as long as I still feel good . . . don't overdue it. And I knew my incisions were glued shut . . .but he said "yup . . .it's a high grade super glue that is bendable and flexible" . . . amazing! Chris

I only had the Lovenox in the hospital . . . not when I went home.

How many of you guys had doctor already pre-fill your lapband? My doctor said they wont pre-fill cause the band should already be some what tight on stomach. _____ No pre-fill from my doctor because of stomach swelling from surgery . . . I have to wait 4-6 weeks. I go for my post-op checkup on Wednesday. Meanwhile - my PCP cut my blood pressure meds in half this morning! Wahoo! I'm making progress! Chris

Well Yea for everyone! I was wondering where some of you had gone to! When we don't hear . . . we start to worry! Glad everything is going well! Chris

Well I sure hope you are feeling better . . . I'm back at work today . . . but I don't get to have Protein shakes for another week - I just graduated to cream Soups (strained) today. Hope all goes better for you from here on out. Chris

Depending on when . . .I could get behind this

Welcome Sheila - and best of luck to you!

Welcome aboard! Glad to hear all went well! Yea! Chris

It's hard to believe that we are a week out already! Wow . . . and waiting for the mushie food for another week is going to bug me I think . . . my stomach was growling for the first time tonight . . . but . . . seven more days after all the years of "free for all" eating is a small price to pay! Glad you're feeling good . . . I'm back to work tomorrow . . . ughhhh (I could get spoiled staying home I think) .. . or get totally bored staying home . . . I could be out EXERCISING MORE! Hugs to all! And good luck to all those going in this week! We're waiting for you! Chris

Lets all calm down and play nice . . . there is no need to move to another place . . . and as for the dates on the list not having your name on it, someone updated a very old list . . . my name is no longer on this latest one either . . . You need to feel comfortable say/asking/wondering anything you want to. I go on another side that has a general board and then lapband/rny yadda yadda yadda . . . and OMG the people on the main board that don't agree with you let you know it . . . I stay off there now . . . just go to the lapband area. You are more than welcome here, in my attitude . . . there is so much good information available here . . . it would be a shame to not take advantage of it! Chris

Good luck to all of you going in this week! How cool is this! Yea! keep your chins up and enjoy the ride! I'm going back to work tomorrow . . . was banded last Monday. I'm feeling great .. . and no problems. I hope the same for everyone! Chris

Congrats Newblue! Glad to hear all is going well! Chris

Jais . . . welcome! We're here for EVERYONE! Chris

What part of Sunny California are you coming to? I'll tell you right now its bearly 50 here today . . . although it is sunny even though it's supposed to be pouring. I'm in the San Diego area. Hope all goes well for your mil! Chris

Every doctor seems to do things in different ways . . . both pre-op and post-op. I would follow whatever your doctor says because "we" are not professionals I'm finally able to have creamed soups starting Monday . . .and my surgery was last Monday. Some people can come home and have protein shakes and cottage cheese, etc. Each doctor does their own thing. Chris

Dandydeb . . . the only thing I can suggest is to keep yourself busy while you are waiting . . . I was going nuts the week before . . . so just kept going to do things like shopping . . . cleaning (A BIGGIE FOR ME - I'm not Suzie Homemaker) . . . movies . . .projects for Christmas gifts . . . there is no easy way to get through the waiting . . . but oh my . . .you are getting so close! Chris

Yea Tomecia! Welcome home! Hang in there . . .it just gets better! Hugs Chris

Sounds great Sandy! Welcome to "this" side

I'm 5'6", was 305 at my highest, was banded on Monday 12-3, and am now at 285. I was growing out of 26/28 . . . and obviously have a LONG way to go because I want to end up around 140. I can't wait to have to go to the thrift shop to find some smaller clothes! Chris
