    Congratulations!!! What an awesome accomplishment!! I am very happy for you! You look amazing!!!
  5. Well, I got my first fill the day before Christmas...and I was right, the doctor didn't put any in to begin with and that is why I have been so hungry. Well, I still don't feel any restriction, so I go back this Thursday for more. Isure hope I get some restriction soon, or I am going to gain everything I have lost! Andrew, I found out where my port is...you were right. I was really scared that it was right at my biggest scar and that it was going to work itself out. But it is good. I know..silly...huh?!? Any news on a meeting? I would love to meet you all. Does anyone go to the group meetings with true results on Main st?? Have a great night!!
  6. I was a self pay also. I went in for my info session on 11/2/09, and I was banded on 11/25. It goes very quick!! Good luck tomorrow!!

    Really, the fill wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting. You will do great. Let me know how it goes.

    So I got my first fill!!!

    I got my first fill on 12/23. Found out that Idr had nothing in the band, and they only put 1.7 cc in. Still have no restriction and am really needing it. They said that I can go back after 2 weeks for more. Hopefully I will get my much needed restriction then!! Seems like I am eating same as before my band. Please tell me it will get better...or maybe I am the one it won't woek for.
  9. I am so upset with myself! I have NO restriction and NO willpower!!! Today at work, I had 4 pieces of candy (small pieces but still!) Then on my home tonight, I had a burger from burger king! I just don't know what my problem is. I am starting to think there is no hope for me!! What am I going to do?? Next wednesday I go for my first fill, I sure hope this helps!!!
  10. I am so confused. I don't know if my port is close to my biggest scar or what that is. But I have something hard by the scar, and it is a little painful. I am scared that I have done something to hurt the port and cause it to move. Can someone please help me understand where the port is. I was banded on 11/25. Thank you all!!
  11. Much better today!! Not as much pain. But I feel like I am always HUNGRY now. Is that normal? I wasn't sure, so I called TR, they said that I need to be drinking my protein shakes. So, I have had one today and the funny thing is...i don't feel hungry. just stupid for not doing them before now!! hahaha Oh well, I guess this is a learning adventure and I will be learning for a long time. I do have a question...and once again it is a stupid question, but I am trying to figure out where the band is and where my port is. Can anyone help me with this??? Thanks and I hope everyone is having a WONDERFUL day!!!:sad:
  12. hey I wanted to make you a friend so we can keep in touch

    I had Dr Hollis and I love him!! He was WONDERFUL!! I had my band on 11/25, and didn't really have any problems. However I find that I am starving right now. LOL I am sure that it will get better...or so I hear. Good luck on the 4th.
  14. I live in Pearland and would love to come to one of your meetings. Please let me know when your next one is and hopefully I will be able to attend. Thank you for organizing a local support group. I was just banned on 11/25 and would LOVE to have some support!!! Thanks again!
  15. I had my band surgery on 11/25. Everything went fairly good...until the 4th night. I started getting so hungry, I opened a can of cream of chicken and had about 2 tbsp. I felt good after that. But now it seems like I am ALWAYS hungry. And I don't feel like I have any restriction. In fact, I could probably eat all the cream and the whole chicken at this point!!! But, after reading some of these posts, I now understand that I need to drink my protein shakes. I didn't know that...but I will start that for lunch. and maybe even dinner. Is anyone else feeling as hungry as me? I wonder if I made the wrong choice?!?!
