congrats on getting approved!!! -
I read your comment on fixin2notbfat, im like you. I hardly eat. I'm diabetic, my sugars run high in the mornings and low in the evenings. I had my surgery 2-27-09, and to-date i've lost a total of 35 lbs. Maybe if i start eating a bit more. I could lose a bit more weight. im exercising and drinking all that water. But as long as i don't gain any, i think i might be okay.

i've lost a total of 35 lbs! I got my 1st fill march, and i don't know how much they put in. I have a 14cc band. I'm not really that hungry, maybe due to all the water that i drink. LOL.

Stay-At-home-mom *lol* i was banded Feb 27, 09. As for my diabeties, im not on any meds but i still have to check my sugar. Im sure i'll always have to do that. I had a check up today, and my blood pressure is getting low, its was 109/50. So, they may either take me off or reduce my meds. All together i've lost 32 lbs.

i had my band done in texarkana, ar. Im thinking its only a 4 or 5 hr drive to tulsa. I live abt 45 mins from Broken Bow, Oklahoma. I wish you luck in your journey!

i was lookin at the paper work that i got when i left the hospital. 2 ozs of protein, and 2 ozs of veggies. So, i thought that was all i was suppose to have regardless. Maybe i'm in the wrong. I dunno. That's why i all you wonderful people to keep me straight.

im not that hungry anymore, and had my 1st fill done on the 3/31. I don't feel any difference, and i still can eat 3-4oz of food. I thought i would be able to handle the needle for the fill bc i used to give myself insulin shots but the needle is bigger and it hurt like heck. But the doctor said it was still a little tender and it will get better as time passes. Oh, and i dropped another 5lbs.

hi there! how are you coming along with your band? i was banded 2-27-09. I had my 1st fill on monday, i don't feel any differnt. I still eat 4 oz of whatever i eat. Besides, seems like i'm constantly drinking water. *lol* i come here to this web site to try to get a better understanding of what's going with me. I have 2 in-laws that have the band but they haved gained so much weight, i don't feel comfortable asking them questions. Shame on me! *lol* but anyways, just thought i'd let you know a little abt myself.

what will happen if your band has a leak? how do they fix it?

im 4wks out, and i'm doing really good. It seems that im more careful abt what i put in my mouth these days. I have my ups and downs when it comes to exercise. I do 20mins on the treadmill, and 15 on the elliptical. And if weather permits, im outside doing something. I just try keep myself busy. Since having my surgery, im off diabetic medicanes and will eventually get off high blood pressure pills. Im still having a bit of trouble with my liver enzymes. The count is really high. Im just hope'n that its bc my liver WAS really fatty. If not, i have some damage from diabeties. but i will not let that get me down. My family has seen the change and so can i. I used to be quiet, and try to be unseen. I have offically found my voice and i'm not putting up with anyone's BS. *LOL* I suppose that is enough for today, I need to get moving this afternoon.

ru4ou replied to dustout's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions

i was banded 2-27-09 at wadley in texarkana. I was so nervous, and at one point i thought i was going to back out. But i didn't, and now i'm pushing thru the gas pains, and the hunger.
