Happy 57th Birthday taybjb!

Marilyn, Paul Enoch at Cary Surgical did it.. I get my next fill on Thurs. My wt loss has stopped also. You have lsot more than me .. I am back up a little and now stuck at anywhere between 11-12. I don't get it. I am not eating much at all.. I am going to tell him to tighten it up, I don't want to keep this up it is discouraging.l Let me know how you do w/ your fill.. I am a little scared of getting choked..

Who did your surgery? I think I am getting my fill next Tuesday, the 16th. My weight loss has stopped. I keep wavering between 21 and 23 pounds lost since Jan 5, and only 5 to 7 of that is since surgery. We aren't supposed to worry about losing weight right now but it's hard not to since that is "the prize".

How are your doing. I am doing ok.. glad I did it. I have lost 13 lbs so far, that may be slow , don't know but I am feeling good about it. I am very tired/ I think b/c I have had a terrible virus.. Go next week to get my first fill.

I think that is great. I don't know what to expect either--my thought any loss is better than a gain! ha ha. Plus my impression is the faster you lose it--the more loose skin you have to deal with. My plan, is to excercise as soon as I can...to help keep my muscle mass, and hope to keep the sagging to a minimum. I am not too vain, but sure hate to be thin, and uglier naked than I am now! ha ha. That would suck.

So glad she may be coming home, poor thing. I am sure that was tough. Hard to focus when you are worried.

Yes never to go back up! I am with you. I was lurking in the chat the other day, and these people were telling each other how they 'cheat' and I thought--you go under the knife to lose then you cheat!?? I hope I can be stronger than that.

I hope you feel better. I will be in touch next week I would guess. My pre-op is Wednesday.

I was actually born in 1954, and I am 55. I was banded 1/19 by Dr. V at Presbyterian in Charlotte.

Hey Mayrilyn, I am from NC and born in 55 also... I was banded on 1/20 .. When did you get banded.

Doing good. I have lost 13 lbs so far.. I don't know if that is good or not but it sure feels good to me. My grandaughter has been in the hospital since the 23rd so that has been a downer but they are hoping she can go home by Weds... I have caught the virus that put her in the hospital so I don't feel the greatest but I am getting there and that is exciting. I keep thinking about that I am on my way down never to go back up and I love that. Go next Thurs to see about if I need my first fill. Doc said it would depend on how much I was eating, how hungry and how much wt loss so we will see. How does that wt loss sound to you?

So how are you doing?
