I had my surgery with the realize band on June 9th and have lost 43lbs.... I lost it real quick the 1st two months, but now it has slowed down and I average about 2lbs a weeks. 1st fill with 4cc was given on July 29 had to have 2cc's taken out because I could not even hold down ice chips!! 2nd fill appt. is October 2nd. I figure I didn't put it on over night so it's not gonna fall off over night! Good luck to all with all yor success and weight loss.

I was originally sent to see Dr. Reavis, but he was not covered by my insurance, so they gave me Dr. Nyguen (strange, considering they are in the same office) I had my surgery on June 9.... I live in Riverside as well in the La Sierra area. Hope all is going well for you!!

I was given ice chips in the hospitial was told I could have ice chips and sugar free popsicles as well. I think that nurse needs to take a refresher course. Our mouths are to hot and it melts the yougurt before it gets to your stomach.

Wow, we are almost in the same boat, I had my pre op on June 3rd and weighed in at 335, Banded June 9th....2 week check up 314, I lost 21 lbs......I need to walk as well, I must admit I havn't done as much walking as I can, but I am feeling so motivated after my post op appt. Good luck to you and congrats....

June 9th for me, I went from thrilled to nervous:thumbup:..... But I must remember "Keep you eye on the prize" I'm new to this site, but I am thrilled to see all the post and support on here. At first you think your all alone and how am I gonna get through this, but thank god for this site.... Best wishes to all and God Bless!!

If I can do it, anyone can do it!! Started my pre-op diet on Monday the 2nd and because they scheduled my Surgery so fast (Monday the 9th), the put me on Slim Fast 4 to 5 cans a day, slim fast granola bars for snack in between my delicious shakes (lol), crystal light and sugar free popicles......Yes thats it!!! I'm looking forward to stage 1 of my diet, so I can get a lil broth!!! Good
