Dr. Johnson in Morehead City did my surgery. I found in Greenville there were a lot of referrals not necessary and a long wait. I saw Dr. Johnson in October for first appt had surgery in December 26, 2008. Down 41 lbs. Extremely nice and very easy to talk to. No regrets

I enjoyed reading it all. I have same feeling. I go to doc on Monday so I will see how it goes. I,m going to pick up a dairy of some sort this weekend and try to start writing food down. you are right, 100% panning is needed. I've joined a gym but limited on how much I can do. I had foot surgery and bone is not healed completely so doc wants me to take it easy. I do great on the sitting bike. Some is better than none. Somehow I,ve locked myself out of this site at home so I can only read at work. Working on straightening that out. Have a great weekend thanks for sharing with me

Hi, I'm new to the board. I had band placed in December. Eval started in October 2008. As of last visit I had lost a total of 41 pounds and seem to be stuck now. I am happy with lose but wondering has anyone else been stuck with no lose or gain for a month?

I'm terrible about writitng down what I eat. I know this is not excuse but it's true. I stay so busy things fly by. I work 8-5 and some nights and weekend as a paramedic. It's eat as I can. I try to have things with me....water, yogurt, pudding and wendy's small chili if nothing else. I go Monday for check in. Not sure if he will fill or not. During surgery he put baseline of 3cc's and I had restriction and alll had to be taken out. I've only had one fill which was 1cc last month. I have more restriction in am and with dry meat. I feel hungry this month where febvore I wasnt so that concerns me. Not sure about weight loss bemay on only 2 to 3 pounds which is better than nothing I know. I feel i eat the same things cause I dont want pain. I tried bread and it didnt work. Chicken isbeginning to be a problem. I use a lot of can veggies. Bascially I am supose to be restricted from all breads and sugars for 6 months. I have only tried bread twice. Baked potatoe and sweet potatoe twice. Trying to figure what else is safe. That restriction in the beginning has really scared me. that was so painful. I walked all night thinking it was gas. The next morning I threw up and finally realized what it was. luckily i was still at hospital. I fine it is totally a mind set. I could totally drink a shake and be fine but I know that defeats why I did surgery. I'm diabetic andtrying to get off meds. What advise do you have that has helped you? I'll try to get online tonight and see if we can meet up. Thanks. Have a great day!

Hi! I've lost 41 lbs as of Feb. 2009. This month I don't think I lost. I had my first fill last month. I feel I can eat more iwth the fill than before. I go to weigh in Monday. How have you done? Do you feel tight early in the morning? I have tons of questions if you don't mind sharing with me Debra

Hi, I'm in Greenville, NC. Banded December 26, 2008. 41 lbs down. I have found it is great tool, but there is a mind set. Maybe we could help each other.

I had my evaluation started in October, Band in December 2008 and now down 41 lbs. Only filled once 1 cc at last visit. What's odd for me is I feel I can eat more now that before fill.
