Thank you! It reall does make me feel good to hear that! April will be here before you know it dont worry. Keep in touch feel free to send me an email: ashmore.m@gmc.edu

Wow march 4th that seems like so far away. Did you already have a fill or did he put some in during surgery? I know I couldn't have waited until then I already have one fill and feel like I might be needing another one soon! I would say if you start to notice you can eat more than you'd like call and talk to your surgeon about it!

Time for a fill maybe? I got 2cc almost a week ago now and am doing pretty good. Are you scheduled for one anytime soon?

O and I cheated at a chinese restaurant shortly post op also, but I wouldn't necessarily say egg drop soup was cheating that much!

Good luck tomorrow!

Hey I'm doing overall pretty good. Last week I tried some fries also but ended up throwing them up... I was starting to eat more than I should have been able to fit and was getting hungry so I had my first fill (2cc) this past Wednesday. Don't worry there has been a few times I've had a thing or two that I shouldn't have but usually I end up in pain because of it so that is kind of keeping me good. It is still so tempting though!

Hey that would be great as I don't really know anyone else personally that got this done in college. There is stuff that does come up. Thanks and keep in touch

Wow you got surgery 10 days after me and you already feel no restriction? I know 10 days ago I was still having trouble getting most foods down. Now though I am definitely getting hungry and am able to squeeze in too much.

I will definitely keep you posted and let you know how the first fill thing goes!

I'm doing really great right now. O god the gas pain was pretty bad for me in my upper chest area, it felt like I was having a heart attack for the first two days! How are you pain wise besides the gas pain. I know it hurt me to sit or stand for a good bit.

Omg I know exactly how you feel I wore jeans last week because I didn't feel like doing my wash ( haha) it hurt so bad when I was sitting in class allllll day. I felt like I was going to throw up all day long. So I'm still wearing just sweatpants!

When can we actually start fully exercising I'm not even sure? I have been moving around A lot though because my classes are spread out all over campus this semester which was hard the first couple of days back.

Hey just saw your about me I'm a sophomore Bio major in college and am still considering pre med or pre law also. I hope your doing well and have maybe decided that the band was a good decision for you. I definitely had my doubts right after surgery also so don't feel alone there! Keep in touch

I'm doing pretty good still getting used to everything and being at school stuff like that. I have a pretty busy schedule this semester to its been a little tough making sure I eat everything I need to.

Hey we were banded the same day! How are you doing?

Hey I'm doing pretty good I think. Healed up well qnd surprisingly fast which is good! Still adjustsing you know. Two days that's so exciting! Good luck but don't worry you'll do fine. Keep in touch as we go through this!

Hey! I was also banded Jan 5! How are you doing so far?

Hey you look great! Congrats on over 100 lbs pretty inspiring! haha

Good Luck tomorrow!!

HI! Its been a week now and I think I am doing pretty well. First post op check up tomorrow morning. I'm doing fine drinking eating etc so far but it still hurts when sitting, standing , bending over etc which I expected I guess. I'm going back to school and starting classes again on Thursday so a bunch of new struggles will be coming my way. I hope your doing well with everything!

Hey Its been a week now and I think I'm doing really well. First post op check up with my surgeon tomorrow morning so will see for sure. It was really hard at first to drink all of the necessary fluids but got easier quick.

I get most of the protein in because I kind of put that together with the liquids by drinking protein shakes, kill two birds with one stone. Small sips constantly is the best way, it definitely is not comfortable to drink a lot at once!

I'm doing pretty good so far. Everything did go as was expected. The things that hurts the worst now is the incisions sting when sitting or standing. Overall no major problems so far. And you should be excited!! I know I'm definitely excited now to heal up and start exercising and all again.

Hey I see your getting banded soon, my surgery was on Jan 5th. Hope all is going well pre op for you and good luck!

Hey I see your getting banded around the same time as I did, I was banded Jan 5th and good so far. Good luck

Hey ! I see your getting banded this month good luck! I just had surgery Jan 5th.
