I was banded on 3/19 and I am down 40 pounds!! I'm, excited but dissapointed at myself cause I know I can do better. I'm at 4.5 cc in a 10cc band and I feel no restriction whatsoever. im afraid it slipped or leaking eventhough the doctor told me its not. But I guess i'm on average of weight loss. Good luck everybody!!

I've gotten myself clothes, not much just an outfit here and there, since im a slow looser, but i bought myself size 13 junior skinny jeans from forever21. YAY!!! But when i meet my goal at 140 lbs, I'm gonna reward myself with a Louis Vuitton Purse!!!!

Me too, I felt that way many times. When I would go out ( that wasnt that frequent), I would say oh I look good but then I see myself in mirrors and im like WTF?? Is that really me? I would get super depressed and wouldnt go out in a long while. My boyfriend and I would just stay home and avoid going out to clubs because of our weight. But that will change for sure. Eventhough sometimes I look back and im like damn!!

Im getting my first fill on 5/7/09, is there anything I should look out for? What should I do or expect after it? Please let me know what you have experinced with your first fill. Just a little nervous and scared, I have no idea what to expect. I lost about 20 pounds the first 3 weeks and havent lost anything after that. SURGERY/CURRENT/GOAL 230/ 210/ 135

Thanks for all your help, im looking foward to it but really scared. LOL

Hey good luck hang in there i know it's hard. i was only on liquids 1 wk then for 2 weeks on mushies then softer foods for the 4th week. My band was fine also, nothing happened to it. Hope it helps.

I always had a butt at least a little one as i started gaining weight i thought i was losing it but my jeans would still fit. Once i got my surgery and started loosing weight that is one of the first places i noticed i was loosing the weight from. I hope once i get to my goal weight my body will be proportioned and evened out, if not ill get that fixed! LOL I guess every body is different but good luck.!!

Hi, my name is Laura and I had my surgery done in Mexico with Dr. Arturo Rodriguez, He is a great doctor and his staff were verry nice as well, I had my surgery done in Monterrey they booked the hotel for me and everything it was really nice, also I would keep in contact with Tricia which is the coordinator for Dr. Rodriguez she was very helpful and would answer all my questions. Today is my 1 month aniversary from my surgery and so far ive lost 16 pounds. Let me know if you have any questions and i will help you with whatever i can. Good Luck, Laura
