thanks, and im sure as most, i feel so much better. i am very short, 4'11. so my 202 looked aweful. i found the one pic i took about 2 weeks after my surgery. i never took pics, i hated how i looked. now you cant keep out of the cameras view! im making up for lost time! ill try to post the before. do you kow how to minimize the pic i just posted? also how do you make the little scale everyone has? i could never figure out this forum thats why i dont drop by often. im not computer savvy.

ok got the pic posted, its HUGE!lol... how do i make it smaller?

i am gonna attempt to post and insert pics. i was 202 at the surgery day(sept 19,2006) today i am 130 with only 12 lbs left to lose.i have alot of skin to be removed which will be the most of the remaining weight i have left to shed. has anyone begun to reconstruct and if so, any suggestions or things to ask the dr when i go for my consult?:whoo:i was banded by dr rumbaut in monterrey mexico and had a wonderful life changing experience there. i highly recommend him. anyone else banded by rumbaut? are you going to the 1st annual get together with him in houston?

you are losing weight which is a good thing. it took me several fills to feel restricted ,now i am filled with 4 cc's . dont give up,think positively. reward yourself with a new shirt or pair of shoes instead of food . that will be a good incintive for you. it will all come together once you feel the rewards of the band.

i was able to do soft bread til the last fill. im scared to try it now, i dont like that lodged feeling. it hurts.

i hear ya. until my last fill i was able to ea a sandwich with no problem.... a 6 inch from subway at that! now i can eat almost a half if i toast the bread. dont want to try untoasted bread. i also enjoy a cracker with chicken or tuna on it. i can also eat a thin slice of pizza once its cooled so the cheese is chewable. it isnt enough to make me not lose, but i am sure to eat the one that is veggie. :bananapartyhat:

wish i knew how to put a pic on here and the scale chart..... it took me 3 months to learn how to post! lol

im sure mine is the small inamed band as well... 4cc is the max fill from what i understand. i have several friends banded and they all throw up... i was like when will i throw up? but it happened after the last fill. i try to eat alot of meat. its satisfying if you can chew itup enough to digest. i learned to take each bite slowly , but i still shovel if i dont pay attention... and thats when i threw up! lol who did your surgery? i went to rumbaut in mexico.

by the way i was 202 the day of surgery. i am at 162 today.

it took me 3 fills to feel the restriction once i healed from surgery. i have 4 cc's in my band. before that i was able to eat just about anything. i have only thrown up twice. banded september 19,2006 monterrey mexico. dr. rumbaut.

I JUST GOT MY FIRST FILL YESTERDAY. IM NOT SURE IF IT IS ENOUGH. I ATE A BOWL OF CEREAL THIS MORNING BUT IM NOT REALLY FULL. NOT HUNGRY BUT I ATE THE WHOLE BOWL. I GOT 2 CC'S . YA THINK IT IS ENOUGH? I HOPE I AM POSTING PROPERLY, NOT USED TO THIS YET.:help:

hi! this is my first post. i was banded sept 19th by dr rumbaut in monterrey mexico. i have lost 13lbs. so far. i dont know if i gurgle, if i do it isnt loud. i am excited about gettin my first fill. can anyone give me an idea of what to expect?
