hi believe i just went today to get my third fill. i go every month today my doctor told me i have the #10 band that holds 4ccs.

i had to do both, first chemically, then the treadmill, i am sorry to say i have never been on a treadmill before an what a sight to see they gave me medicine to slow down my heart rate it was hard but i pass. i was like a new born baby trying to walk. so it was worth it i think you has to pass so many points.

(HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU .)hope you have a beautiful day, an congrats on your surgery.

you will be ok i gained 3lbs not after two weeks post-op but when i went for my first fill that was during the mushy stage i was eating mashed potatoes the nurse told me they had to many carbs.

My (nsv) losing 40lbs while waiting on surgery from april08-january 13th 09. then going from size 32 waist to 26 from 4x shirt to 26/28. thought i would never like exercising lost the big stomach i had. geting compliments from people no more sweating in the winter&summer can climb the stairs without being out of breath just so many little things oh an i had a size 11 ring now i do not wear it because its to big got to have it resized i hope every one have a beautiful summer i wanna look good for the summer just to get out an do more things.

I lost 40lbs on my own during the six months supervised classes had to maintain it from april 08 until my surgery january 13th 09 no pre op diet went from size 32 pants to 26 from blouse size 4x to 26/28 people notice work out everyday can cross my legs they have gotten smaller lost 19 pounds first two weeks after surgery totals 58lbs so far no more sweating i am so proud of myself love all of you guys even though i don,t know you all i can go on an on but i am not.

The first two weeks after surgery i lost 19 pounds.during the mushy stage i gain 3 back.but lost it when i got my first fill plus another pound.

Decaf coffee was on my full liquids list.now i drink it every morning.

I use to love pork rinds before the surgery i use to eat the cracklins.i use to live in the south where they slaughter hogs and they use to cook the fat outside in a big pot an boy you talking about cracklins we use to make cracklin bread but after the band i tried some about a month ago an my goodness the pain. so no more pork rinds for me. but they are a treat.

I use to embrace the cold weather due to my weight because i use to sweat all the time in the winter could not wear long sleeves always short sleeve shirts because i was always hot. but after the weight loss i am always cold so i think it is due to the weight my feet is the first to get cold now i walk around the house with a jacket on.

hi xgrl good luck tomorrow on your new journey in life.i remember i was nervous also i will be rooting for ya.
