Ok, here it goes...:thumbup: I was at 260 when I decided to get help, and weighed 250 the day of surgery (11/4/08). I got the 14cc band, and my dr. put 2cc in that day. I went back for my first fill 12/9/08 and was given 2cc. I have not seen a difference in what I can eat and can't wait to ask for more restriction, but I want to give it at least two more weeks with me following diet and exercise. As of this morning, I am at 230 but I have not moved in a week, but the day I hit that number I cried. It was my first personal goal I had set, and I was ecstatic. Now I am ready for my next personal goal to pop up on that scale!!! And it is so horrible wearing clothes that are way too big (I was a 24 the day of surgery and am now in an 18). Oh drat!!! Good luck, my fellow Notorious Novembers!!!!

I had a hernia repair also. That was worse than the other surgery part, I think. I did have the left shoulder pain, and back pain, and was most comfortable sleeping sitting up for the first two days. Today is 2 weeks out and I feel great. I get to start my pureed foods today, and thought my 1/4 cup of scrambled eggs for breakfast was scrumptious, lol!!!

I am scheduled for November 4 in Beaumont, TX at the Christus SETX Bariatric Center with Dr. Schrapps!!!!!!! :w00t:
