65DueceCoupe

I'm so excited - I'm just over a month post op and i'm down 28 pounds. Woohoo. Good Bye 350's Good Bye 340's Good Bye 330's Hello 320's I'm just visiting. lol :wink:

Woohoo I had my first fill this morning - Dr. said he actually put a good amount in - I think I saw him write down 3.3cc's. Anyways I'm on liquids again for 2 days. I can't wait to start losing more. The faster I'm under 300 the better. lol I'm so excited I finally got a fill. 6 more weeks till the next one (March 3rd).

hi welcome I was also banded in December (Dec 22) I get my first fill on Wednesday morning I'm so excited. Have you had a fill yet?

i'm so excited I get my first fill in 2 days - woohooo!!!!

Congrats - best of luck and go Red Wings. :tt1:

I'm planning on learning to play Ice Hockey when I get the weight off.

cool topic - Mines because I'm building a 1965 Nova aka "Chevy II" aka "a Duece."

I get my first fill next Wednesday the 20th - woohoo

Had my follow-up with my Surgeon on Friday - he said I was doing great. - great news. I get my first fill on wednesday the 20th - woohoo can't wait.

and you look amazing

I have my two week plus follow-up with the surgeon today. I'm gonna beg for a fill. lol hardest part of the band for me is not drinking and eating - omg that's rough. lol I'm gonna have to cheat once in a while cause I love spicy hot buffalo wings - and I'll have to chill the heat. lol

Hey I found the group again. I didn't know it had moved. I've been lost. lol

mine was a joke - guy got like $120 from me to ramble yes/no questions off. Examples - have you ever had depression? ever thought about suicide? Asked family history yes /no questions. He basically rambled off about 15-20 questions. in 5 minutes then said ok I'll recommend you have the surgery. lol i wish I made $120 for 5 minutes of work (do you even call that work?). lol

I can't believe I did it without cheating. Wow that was rough. lol

What the heck I'm going to set my goal high so I'm going to have to work hard to reach it. I'm 333 currently I wanna be 299 - I'm sick and tired of being over 300. My program offers a personal trainer at the hospital for a few weeks as part of the program - I have my first appointment with him tonight. I'm going to tell him to work me over biggest loser style. I did 3 miles on the treadmill monday night in an hour. I also made a goal of 40 miles walked this month.

I guess I'll jump in and go for 40 miles this month. I did 3 miles last night in an hour. So I've got 37 miles to go.

Hi all, I'm Dusty from Mt. Washington, Kentucky - just outside of Louisville. I'm so excited to be getting my band on Dec. 22. :ohmy::thumbup: My Surgeon is Bryce Schuster. I can't wait to get the weight off and begin a healthier lifestyle. I have a goal to learn to play ice hockey in an adult league when the wieght comes off. Just something I've always wanted to do but never was able to. Now I have a chance. I hope to meet a lot of fellow bandsters and get advise and support. Pre-op Pic

Hey all My surgery went great. Surgery at 7:30am in recovery by 8am. Awake drinking sitting up and walking around 10am or so. And released around noon. Pain hasn't been bad at all. My gas pains weren't bad either. They stayed around center chest and i had a huge release of the gas via a gag/cough. Since then the pressure has been gone. I've been getting up and walking and sleeping alot. No problems getting in and out of bed or my recliner. Get dressed easy. So all I'm all it's been perfect. No Complaints. only my abs feel like they had a workout and i'm just very thirsty all the time. I'd do this again in a heartbeat. Such a breeze for me. I hope all others are doing well also. I can't wait for some mashed potatos. lol

Yea I was knocked out cold. lol I'm so pleased with how i'm doing. Thanks for all the kind words everyone. I wish everyone much success.

Hey guys my surgery was yesterday and I'm doing awesome. Gas pains weren't an issue and the only pain feels like an ab blast workout. I'm able to get around and get up from my bed and recliner with no issues - i don't think it could have gone any better for me. :tongue:

No I have not had the opportunity to touch your upper body region. lol :angel_smile:

this topic is hilarous. I drink pineapple juice so it's supposed to improve the flavor - also You'll get a full servings of fruit that way. lol :tongue:
