Hi, I'm HildaM. I was banded on June 13, in Juarez, Mex. At first I was scared, especially because I was not sure to have surgery out of the USA. It went great, is only a 3.5 hour drive from were I live. Everyone in the hospital was so nice and friendly. I met a few people that got banded the same day. There was this lady on her 60's, she came all the way from Alaska. Anyways I wanted to introduce myself to all of you. Friday is my last day on full liquids. I feel great, no more shoulder pain or any other pain related. I haven't weight myself so I don't know if I actually lost any weight at all. I'm already thinking about my first fill, anybody knows any fill doctors in Albuquerque, NM

Have you scheduled your first fill appointment? I know the first fill is suppose to be 6-8 weeks after surgery. Do you know if I can have a fill before 6 weeks? I was kind of sad this morning. First time I weight myself after surgery, it's been 13 days and I haven't lost any weight. I gained two pounds. I don't understand. I'm following the post-op diet. I don't feel any restriction anymore, I feel hungry most of the time. What could be wrong?

Good luck to you!! you'll do just fine. I was a little scared when I was banded. It's been 12 days so far. Friday is my last day on full liquids. Where are you getting banded?

What exactly is this line up about? Is it banded date, pounds lost? Sorry I'm new to this forum. Could you explain. Thanks
