lt me start by saying hi to the july bandsters. i was banded in dallas by dr nicholson on july 2. i lost 18 pre and 13 post as of july 16. my wife convinced me to join this site because she is supportive but can't give me any advice. as for healing i was back at work on tuesday (7/2 was thurs). i work construction so i was supposed to be light duty. i've healed up good, so physically i'm doing good. i too went to the movies and was little discouraged but i sipped on a minute maid light lemonade while the kids crunched on popcorn and nachos. hunger hasn't been an issue because i'm so determined. but my mood swings wide. some days i wake up huntin a fight. other days i'm normal. i get frustrated easy lately. i've gone down two pants sizes since i've began but i don't have a place to weigh regular. my first fill is in two weeks. my goal is 250 by jan 1, 11. i started at 392. that bout it from me. thank you for reading an though i dont usually respond to general comments i do appreciate all the advice i read as i skim the topics.

how do dr nic did my surgery july 2, so far i've liked his treatment. i've lost 31 lbs as of 7-18. he is an awesome doc i can call him most days and he'll call me back. over all i've had bout the best experience i think possible and would recommend him

dr nic nicolson outta dallas texas. he's affiliated with baylor hospital. awesome doc i was banded july 2 and two weeks later i was down 31 lbs <18 lbs were from the pre diet>

hi.. i've just joined but i'm was banded july 2 so i cant give much advise but i had the same problem and was told as your heal the swelling in your stomach goes down (caused by the irritation of the surgery) goes down and your band is loose but the fill will help get that sensation back
