    Daily News!

    Hey Good to hear from you! I was banded on June 20, 2008. I have my 3rd fill scheduled for June 19, 2009. I have had only 2 fills (my doc is very aggressive with fills though, and when you ask for RESTRICTION.......... YOU GET RESTRICTION! LOL!)... I have had good restriction ever since my first fill, but it has been less so the last week or so. My weight has stalled now, and I know I need a fill.. am battling eating "good foods" versus what I "want" right now until I get proper restriction again. I, like you, am losing much slower than I had hoped, but I know we have the tool now to be successful! Keep up the good work! You are a very pretty lady! Hope to see "less of you" soon!

    Hey guys.. Just had to jump in here.. June 20 will be my 1-year "bandiversary" and I have only had 2 fills.. have 2.4 cc in a 10 cc band. But I have an appointment for a 3rd fill on June 19. I still have some restriction though. My doc told me I would probably never reach even half of the capacity of the band. As stated so many times, it is an individual thing. Good luck to all of you! and hope to see less of you soon!

    JUNE 2009 Lap Band Surgery

    Congrats to all! My one-year "Bandiversary" is coming up June 20, and I have an appointment for a fill on June 19. I had hoped to lose 100 pounds the first year, but I will have to settle for 60! lol! Slowly but surely! Good luck to all of you!
  17. Hey Apples! Just dropping in to check your profile! You have done great! Would love to see some before/after pics! When were you banded?

    Hey Apples! No actually, I never subscribed to this thread before, but definitely will be keeping in touch! I would love to arrange some kind of a get together with banders of teh same month/year and we could all bring before pics (8 x 10s of the OLD US).. lol! I think it would be a real pick-me-up. Don't know how everybody else feels.. and i know traveling right now is kind of expensive, but it is something to think about.. Hope to see "less of you" in the near future!

    You have to actually go to another site to create/save you ticker and then you "paste" it into you signature on your profile. Here is a link: Graphical Tickers and Trackers: Weight Loss, Trying To Conceive, Pregnancy... Good luck!

    Daily News!

    Hey All! I was wondering where all the June '08 banders were! Lol! I was banded 6/20/08 and have officially lost 59 pounds! Not as fast as i would like, but it is steady. Was on a plateau there for about 5 weeks and the scales only started moving again yesterday! Yippee! Well.. just wanted to make an entrance! Hope to talk to all of you soon! Visit my profile and shoot me a message. Would love to know how everyone is doing!
  22. Good Luck on your decision! Been almost 11 months now, and though it is not the "Quick Fix" I had hoped it would be, I WOULD DO IT AGAIN IN A HEARTBEAT! Good luck and God Bless!

  23. Scales finally started moving again (after 5 weeks plateau!).. DOWN 2 MORE pounds! Yippee!
