  1. My name is Stephanie. Hello all.... I was banded on June 21, 2010. I desperately want a baby, hence the band. Starting 4 years ago i started having irregular periods bad and very HEAVY flow when I did have one. I'm talkin 5-6 months straight of bleeding, then nothing for another 5 months. Anyways my period has started to regulate a lil better after 32 lbs gone. I have an appointment with OBGYN this Thursday and my first fill is on Wednesday. I love to read everyones inspirational stories about infertility and conceiving after the band. I hope I soon join that group. We have been intimate for 7 years with no protection and no baby. Also I dont know if this helps. But I had blood work done and my progesterone level was at a 0.5 when the average healthy womans level is at a 6.0 so no progesterone no ovulation it was very simple to me and less stressful after coming to that realization. So yea thats all of the info I have... Good Luck to all and I will keep yall updated on my progress!!!
  2. Awww im sorry you are sore. It will get better in about a week. Are you having bad shoulder pain?? I am good I go in for my first fill in 1 week. I got my period and my weight is higher right now and i am mucho bloated but before the period I was at 243 which puts total weight loss at 32 lbs so far. How many incisions do you have? How long until your first fill?

  3. That is awsome.. But I know how you feel becasue when you first get the surgery and you are shedding 1-3 lbs a day and you go from 1-3 lbs a week it is very frustrating. i am addicted to weighing myself. i know it is not healthy but it is my motivation to shy away from the bread and sweets. I will flip if my doc says no fill, I mean what did I get cutr open for idf not to have more restriction. Even 1-3 cc would be great. Try kaschi my doc recommended that brand they make cereal frozen entrees and bars. It is high in protein and has low calories and great veggies and very tasty easy to make. Yea 100 lbs in a year is awsome..

  4. Yea i kinda fell off the planet after surgery for a little while I havent even posted any new pics but total I have lost 30 lbs and I am eating about 1 1/2 cups too, i cant wait for my retriction to kick in. I work 8-5 m-f so we could do a weekend. have you tried alcohol yet? Good job on the 34 lbs do you feel it yet??

  5. Hey girl how are you doing?? have you had your first fill yet? Mine is August 4th. :( I have no restriction right now it is all on me but I am still losing about 1/2 a pound a day but when I started eating solids again I went up 7 lbs... If you have had your first fill do you have restriction? How much did he put in? Hope all is well....

  6. How has it been since your first fill, I have litte to no restriction right now so I am just trying to eat lots of fish chicken and veggies and no sweets very little bread also but I lose about the same weight as you. Hopefully it speeds up after my first fill 8/4...
