My surgery was 12/19/2009. Since the day of surgery (13.5 weeks ago) I have lost 24.5 lbs. Most of it right after surgery. For seven weeks, I did not lose a pound. I just went up and down between 1 and 5 pounds. Last Friday, I had my 3rd fill and I have finally started losing a little. 3 lbs since Friday. But I know that this is not the green zone. I have another fill on April 2nd and hopefully that will give me restriction. I still dont regret having the surgery. I have just realized that it is not going to be as easy as I thought it would. Ive been documenting my journey on youtube if anyone wants to watch. YouTube - ccee30's Channel

Hi Vicky, I know its been a long time since u posted this but I am having the same problem. How did u get unstuck?

Just checking my ticker.

I was banded yesterday.Arrived at the hospital at 9 am, had my surgery at about 1:30 pm Left hospital at 7:30 pm. I had to stay in recovery a little longer bacause they kept telling me I was not breathing well. When I woke up it wasnt too bad. Mostly felt soreness at the port site. Could not sleep very well last night. My back was bothering a little. I wanted soooooooo much to sleep on my stomach. Really bad sore throat. Going to the bathroom a lot. Oh.....and still hungry! Ay, ay, ay!!!!!!

My day is finally here! Need to be at hospital at 9 am. Very nervous. Could hardly sleep. I have a little bit of congestion and I hope that is not a problem. Please pray for me.....and my mom. No my mom is not getting banded but she worries a lot! I think there were only 2 others being banded today on this thread. Good luck to you guys!:smile2:

Well that makes me feel a little better. Hope ur surgery went well.

I am on day 6 with my pre op diet and I hate to say it but I cheated. I am a teacher and we had a pizza party today and I gave in and ate a slice. I am going to exercise today in order to make up for it. Surgery is this Saturday.

Youre tempting me!

This is my 3rd day on my pre-op diet and I have a huge headache. I had my last Coke on Friday. Could this be withdrawal? It really sucks.

I will not be returning to work right away. I'm a teacher and our last day of school is the 18th. My surgery is the 19th. So I wont have to go back until January. :rolleyes2:

Finally got my surgery date. I changed doctors. Went to see my new dr today. Dr. Nicholson. I didnt think he would be able to do my surgery until January. My date is Saturday December 19! I don't even have to take off of work. Have to start my liquid diet tomorrow! Only 1 week. So happy for that. Drinking my last Coke right now! Cant believe its going to happen!
