I'm walking on my treadmill 30 mins every day or riding my exercise bike too for at least 30 mins. tonight i walked my street with a neighbor. nice weather so it was nice, she's pregnant so she was slow and we were both huff and puffing up our hills.

Hello - I was banded 4 weeks ago today, Feb. 25, 2008. I've been looking all over the internet looking for others to talk to about it. I'm glad I found this site. I'm looking forward to learning how the process has gone for others. I guess I'm really wanting to know I'm on track and right where I should be. It's one thing when your doctor says you are and when you compare yourself to others. I know everyone is different, it's just nice to know where you are in comparison. looking forward to meeting y'all.

Thanks Mariah, I do agree eveyone is different, but I really don't have a frame of reference for how much people loose at first on Lap band. All the people I've spoken with prior to my surgery, were at their goal weight and very happy with their band. Looking forward to hearing more from you. A

I'm loving it. I feel like I've got this great secret and I want to tell everyone about it. I've lost 19lbs on my scales, according to the doc when I went last Tuesday for my post op appointment, I'd lost 16lbs. I weigh every day, probably shouldn't. So I guess we're right on track. I have my first fill, if needed on April 17. They said they ask you all those questions about how you're doing, then decide if you need one or not. Love to hear more from you. Have you started exercising yet?

I had my surgery at Washington Univeristy/Barnes/Jewish Hospital on February 25, 2009. Dr. Eagon is my doctor.
