Hello-
Well, I am just at about 3 weeks post-op. I had my post appointment just to make sure everything is still in place last week. I had lost 11 pounds (I honestly had hoped for more). I have been doing some light exercising on our Wii fit, but haven't dropped anymore weight. I am a tad frustrated and am unsure what I am doing wrong. I eat about as much as my 5 year old daughter (on a salad plate) at meals . Will the weight come off more after I get my first fill in a few weeks? I am hoping for 2-3 lbs a week. Is that to unrealistic?
My port area and my left side where my ribs are seem to be still sore. I am not sure how long this will last.
Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much. :eek:
Nervous and new.

Hi Meredith.
I have recently been banded. I started my process in November with seminars and a ton of doctor appointments. I had my surgery on March 18th. I am happy I chose this bariatric surgery over the others. I am still getting used to a lot of things right now. It is a slower process, but I think it is going to much more worth it in the long run. I am hoping not to have too baggy of skin. =0)
