Dr. Morand with Augusta Surgical Associates is who I see and he is wonderful.

I was banded in July of 2005 by Dr. Richard Morand in Augusta. He is a wonderful doctor with a great bedside manner. He is very supportive.

I've just made the 100 pounds mark, do I qualify? Congratulations to all. Quilter Mom :-)

Larry, I had the lapband surgery over a year ago and have lost 95 pounds. Best thing I ever did for myself. It will take a while for your body to bounce back but the time invested is well worth it.

I didn't realize changing to a Doctor in the same practice would be an issue. I hope you can work something out because I think the support I get from them is great. Quilter Mom

I started at a 26-28 and am now a 16 pant and a 12-14 top. Want to get to a 12 for both.

I hope I find my majic level soon, I am becoming extremely frustrated

Xann77, I've had my hard times as well, try to get more walking in if you can and plenty of Water, water, water. This helped me when I would plateau. Keep you chin up, you'll get there.

I am still frustrated with my lack of restriction. I'm at 8cc and have scheduled another fill but could not get another appointment for another 6 weeks. I am concerned my willpower won't hold out.

I just got my 4th fill. I'm up to 8cc. Feeling a little restriction. I think I'm feeling that full thing as well. Haven't gotten that much up until now.

You guys are great, too bad it's been 20 years since I've been so lucky. Glad for you though Quilter Mom

Kryssa, The only time I feel any restriction is when I eat something dry, like chicken or fish. Otherwise, it's small portions and no bread, Pasta or sweets. I will not go backwards. Quilter Mom
