My surery was July 21, 2010 and im down 25 pounds...with no fill, I had my fill appointment today but my Dr. says for me to return in 2 week to see how much more weight I lose...

my surgery was 7/21/10, I went back to work Aug. 2nd...I could of went back sooner but the days off was much needed...my job doesn't consist of a lot of lifting, bending, or turning so I was fine...

YAY!....way to go!!!

I was banded july 21st, my one week follow up was july 28th, im down 13 pounds, but like some of you I to find my self hungry and my stomach growling, so ima tgry to increase my protien intake and see if that helps any...I am eating cream soups and sugar free puddings along with my crystal light water...I do like the unsweet tea with lemon and splenda from mcdonalds on occasions.... I will try the vitamin water zero..thanks for everyones advice and don't give up..=)

My hernia was repaired during surgery also...I didn't even know I had a hernia..lol...

Hello All your stories are amazing, I was banded on July 21, my surgery only took 45 minutes and I had a hernia repair...lol...the Dr. said my surgery went very well...I haven't weighed myself yet (I don't want to get obsessed with it) so im just concentrating on getting in my protiens and liquids...the gas pain are the only pains but I don't let it get to me...I do take my pain meds if it gets to painful and try to walk as much as possible...im so glad that I got the surgery (so far no regrets) =)....its nice when u have supporting friends and family like I do...I did attend a BBQ yesterday but it didn't phase me...I drank my protien shake and thought about my health...everyones story is wonderful and I enjoyed reading them..I pray that we all are successful in our weight loss and live healthier lives....I will keep everyone posted on my success....=)

Hello Everyone, I was banded July 21st the surgery was excellent and I had a hernia repair that I didn't even know I had...lol...I think my worse pain was the day after surgery the hospital bed really did a number on my back..lol..the gas pains are bad also but I try to walk them out like the Dr. says and take my pain meds as prescribed...Today is a good day I woke up with hardly no pain and the tape on my incisions are starting to come off...as far as eating im sippin on diet snapples, crystal light, protein shakes and some small amounts of cream soups..I think im so excited about being banded that I tune out any pain that I do have....I haven't weighted my self since surgery, I know im goin to lose so I try not to worry about it....I have excellent support from family and friends...good luck to everyone....I love reading your stories...will keep you posted...good luck!
