Thank you so much for your message...I'm leaving in a few min to get my fill done..I'm scared cause I don't know if I even lost a pound!! I'm so glad that I logged on to LBtalk ,you made my day!!! Thanks again I'll let you know how it went...

hi dear..wow you look good..you're doing great, My 2nd fill didn't do nothing, I,m so discouraged.. the scale don't move I'm going for my third fill monday nov 16th..I'm praying that it will get better,, I thought at 5cc's I would get a little restriction!! Hope it will start doing something soon before I gain some pounds!!!! Anyway you look great.....

Congrats!!! Was this great journey hard at first?( around the 1st and 2nd fill )did you feel any restriction?? Do you remember how much weight you had loss then at that stage?? Great work...

Boy oh boy!! I'm still the same ...I haven't move on the scale since last time we talked..well -0.2(ha!ha!) so -3.9 since my 1st fill..I'm going for my 2nd fill this monday Oct 26 can't wait..hoping this one will boost this journey!! And you.. Dont give up it might help at your 1st fill.. everybody is different, I wish you well.. GOOD LUCK!!!! PS..At least since my first fill I never felt hungry..:thumbup:

Hi!, Glad to hear from you,, I think we're going through the same 'hell' I've lost 3.7 pounds since my first fill..then again stop loosing for the last week stayed at that # ,at least did not go up!!But I'm not hungry.. still do not feel like I've been banded..it's weird I eat and no feeling of the band just (like before ) I eat smaller portion, I could continue eating cause never full!! Ah well will get through this... right?? With the right fill I guess... Anyway I'm glad that you messaged me..When is your 1st fill, any date yet?? Good luck to you..and let's not give up...We deserve this.. just like all the other bandsters that had great success.. We'll get there just like they did and a good thing is we're not alone we're togheter in this journey!! !Let's keep us posted...

Hi!! Wow, you're doing good girl! You can't tell the difference???You must be blind take youre side picture.. wow !! what a difference you are so flat compared to the before you have to look at them again(ha!ha!) I 've been banded the same day as you but only lost 26lbs so far..been at this point for almost 3 weeks,got first fill a week ago,lost a pound today since then!! ah, well good luck.. and BRAVO!!!!!

Hi!, I have to be honest with you i'm not to proud of my weight loss ,25lbs gone that is good for sure but it's been stuck at that # for at least 2 to 3 weeks ..I had my 1st fill last monday still didn't lose any more still?? I don't feel any restriction yet it will probably be better after more fills..Did you lose much before youre 2nd fill?? Anyway thanks for responding to my questions.. talk to you later.. Good luck to you also...

OH MY!!! What a nice journey so far!! CONGRATS..Amazing work, Any restriction at your 1st fill?? I'm there now and scared cause I don't feel anything yet! Don't want to mess it up! It be sooo great to be minus 71lbs in another 4 months like you!! WOW!!!!

Ahh!! Thank you ...I was just back from my first fill today, and I was wondering when the weight loss would start to show so having your comment put a smile on my face!! Thanks again.. And GOOD LUCK to you , (hunger for me is on and off.. ) Don't give up!! ...I know you won't...
