Any Bandsters in or around Brooklyn, NY?
nessa2112 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am banded almost two months now and was wondering if anyone lives in or around the Brooklyn, NY area. I am interested in getting a small group together once or twice a month. I need to surround myself with more bandsters to share experiences and frustrations with. Although, this site is awesome, some face to face discussions wouldn't hurt. -
I joined a gym near my house but can't bring myself to go becuase I feel to fat. I know it's stupid but these are the thoughts I have. I started on the scale at 310 and have been between 277-281 for two weeks or so...frustrating. I'm just so anxious to see myself thin and feel the energy that comes with it that I stress myself out. I just want to see more weight come off but I guess I have to start working out to see more results. I do thank God that I haven't had any complications to date. I know things could always be worse. On Friday when I met with my surgeon I told her I thought that the first fill she gave me must have not gone in my port because I felt nothing and felt like I could've eaten a horse.
Any suggestions!

Hi, you have had great results and I'm so happy for your. It's really hard work. Some people have told me that the band seems like an easy way out. I disagree, the band is a tool...we still have to do a lot of work. I have the realize band which takes 14cc's to totally fill and I'm have been banded almost two months. I had my second fill on Friday-filled 9/4cc's already. I didn't feel any restriction at all and still don't think I feel restriction. Not sure the feeling I should expect with restriction but I do get a bit frustrated. However, I do notice that I am not as hungry as often-which is a plus!

Hey Amy Elizabeth, Hope your doing well! Just dropping by to say hi. I'm done with liquids and Puree already. Thank God! I get my first fill 4/25 which is exciting but a little depressing in that I'll have to do liquids for three days after a fill so thats a bummer but thats not bad. If I could do 10 days on liquids pre op & 10 days on liquid post op in addition to 10 days on puree, I'll manage. Keep me posted

I think I have food stuck in my tummy
nessa2112 replied to Kayla_ann's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a similar situation on Monday where I ate 1 teaspoon of mashed potatoes and didn't like it so I ate soup (creamy consistancy) Less than half way thru I felt an extreme feeling of fullness and pressure. This is my first week on pureed food so I didn't understand why. I guess the tsp of mashed p. didn't go down and blocked me. It was horrible- I tried stretching, walking & even something warm to drink to no avail. This happened at 1:30pm and didn't go away till 9:00pm when I drank hot tea. I think we just need to let it takes its course in going down. But I understand the feeling your having. It's not pain but extreme disconfort. Try hot tea. (as hot as you can take it) Let me know if it helps -
My girlfriend lost 100 lbs that first year which isn't common but she followed everything the Dr said. She also says that the Dr. is very consistant with giving you a fill every four weeks if your not losing 8 to 10 lbs a month. The only thing she regrets is not working out. She says as soon as the Dr gives clearance to begin hard core workout we should do it because she's dealing with a lot of hanging skin on her arms, in between her legs and her stomach. I got so scared I aready started walking as much as possible. As soon as the Dr. gives me the Ok I think I'm going to work out in my sleep because I can't imagine the pain and cost of plastic surgery. I'm just occupying my spare time right now reading so I don't resort to thinking of food. Anyway I think I've said enough. I probably wrote a journal of information lol...but it's a relief to talk about this and hope the info is helpful to you.
