Hey Katie, I got my band on 10/20. I actually gained weight after I got my band once I started eating regular food again. Then once I started getting fills, I started losing. After the band was put in but before the fills, I could eat anything and I was starving....but once I got the first fill it helped some and I had the 2nd fill 3 weeks ago and I have to be so careful of what I eat (because I get full so fast) and I stay full all day. I don't think the Doctors tell us how ineffective the lap band is without the fills. I was so scared that I had wasted my money. But now its working fine. Dr Kim in Colleyville did my surgery and I have my fills at Forest Park.

Hello! I noticed that you're from TX and have a low BMI - just like me. I hope you don't mind me messaging you. I am curious to when you were banded? I was banded on 1/15 and my weight loss has not been as drastic as I thought it would be. Just trying to find some friends on here

Hiatal Hernia ????????
k8ejohnson replied to Bell1138's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was banded on Friday (1/15) and had to have a hiatal hernia repaired. My doctor had already informed me that I might have this, and that they would bill my insurance the cost of the surgery- which would mean my surgery cost -self pay- would be less. -
January 14, 2009 Bandsters...where are you?!
k8ejohnson replied to krstjump03's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am being banded on the 15th. I was wondering if any of you are having a hard time distinguishing between 'head' hunger and actual hunger? I am on day 6 of my pre-op diet, and it took me yesterday to realize how much my head was telling me I was hungry instead of my stomach. Also, are any of you seeing a large weight loss, or only a few pounds so far? ~ Katie :tt1: -

Hello all! I am excited to say that I will be getting my band on the 15th- woohoo!!:smile2: I began my pre-op diet on the 2nd. I have a Protein shake for breakfast & lunch (and I can add fruit, sugar free jello/pudding for taste) and 4 oz lean protein with green veggies, plus 1 c fruit for supper.
