ok got a question we are all about 19 weeks out ..Well i am and i have lost about 20 pounds ...I know this is slow compaired to others and i know do not compaire to others ...But is anyone else in this boat with me. I feel like a loser and not in a good way. I have 2.5 in a 4cc band and i am going to go for another fill on SAturday since i can eat everything in sight right now.

My mother is in KY and is about to go to Mexico for a Band and i was wodering what you charge for a fill ? She is south Ky but i think you would be closer than going to Moultie GA . thanks Larua

ok only good things .....Well lets see since it was christmas and all i was bad .....not as bad as i was last year that is for sure ...So that is a good thing .....Lets see ...I am drinking my water and trying to eat my protine first and i just realized i NEED TO WORK OUT ....so that is my goal next week to get my booty in gear ,.....

Tom i know what you are saying ...i got my frist fill of 2.0 cc this past weekend and i don't know i don't feel full exactally but then again do we really know what full feels like? i mean before surgery i think we went beyond full ....so anyways ..but i do get a tight feeling in my chest i think when i am one bit too many ..so i stop and it will pass in about 10 mins but then i am not hungry so i guess that is my full spot ...Today i did eat more than regular...i had a packet of tuna for brekfest ...took a hour to eat and then lunch was chicken and mushrooms and a few bites of rice but not many ...that sticks big time ......

I am in ...Just had my first fill of 2cc in a 4cc band ..And what a diffrence ...Man oh Man this is going to be a learning experience that is for sure

Man but i do get a little down when i see like you have lost 35 pounds and only was banded a few days before me and i have only lost 10..What is wronge with me why am i eating so much .....Granted i got the band cause i had no restriction at all ...I mean none ...nothing stayed in the tummy at all ....so i am eating less i guess i need to not compair myself to others and just look at the good i have right now ...Eating less and all ...and praying the fill helps .... did you get a fill yet? did you tell a difference? Laura

Man but i do get alittle down when i see liek you have lost 35 pounds and only was banded a few days before me ..What is wronge with me why am i eating so much .....Granted i got the band cause i had no restriction at all ...I mean none ...nothing stayed in the tummy at all ....so i am eating less i guess i need to not compair myself to others and just look at the good i have right now ...Eating less and all ...and praying the fill helps .... did you get a fill yet? did you tell a difference?

Ok i go for my frist fill on Dec 16...WOOOHOOO :clap2: i am soo excited to feel full again i can not even tell ya ....Well i was just wondering is it me or do others feel this way .... Right now i can eat just about anything and going thru my mind is "well eat up cause come saturday you will not be eating a whole lot" Yes yes i know that the the wroge way to think ...but something or sometimes you just can not help to think that ....Now i am eating way ...way less then before the band was put on and i have lost 10 pounds ....but i just know come saturday and that fill i will be eating the 1 cup of food everyone talkes about and all so i guess i am trying to get it all in now ...Has anyone ever felt this way ....??? Or am i a freak who just loves to eat ?? :hungry: and if you did, did your mind change once you got that fill and you were eating the right protions ( heck i know if i eat too mcuh i will be sick ) not fun ....but kinda scarry thinking i can put away the food now ( which i knwo it is normal to have no restriction before the first fill and all) not sure if this makes any sense to anyone ...i am kind of rambling here i guess Laura

man i have more pain from this surgery than i did with my RNY ..It is crazy ...but that left sdie pain ...is better every day but dang it needs to go find someone to bother cause i am over it ...but i guess that dang port is still healing ....Well heal man ....LOL LOL

Hey everyone ...I was banded on Nov 3 and i think i only have lost that first week and a half i was drinking everything .....but that is ok ...but what i want to know is dont you all get tired of eveyone asking you how much have you lost ...and you have to say well nothing and that is normal until you get a fill and you dont get that for 6 weeks ...i sware kinda makes you feel like a loser and not a loser in a good way =) but it is the truth ya know ..i mean i am not sealing with pain in the left side of my body for nothing i know the weight loss is right around the cornnor but i wish everyone else would remember this ... Ok just wondering if anyone else feels that way .....

I think the important thing to remember here is there is ALWAYS going to be someone that had a bad experience or did not like what they had done. nothing is 100% fore everyone. Just like i had RNY almost three years ago and it is not working for me ( kind of broke if you want) so now i am banded ....hopefully this will work for me ...But would i tell someone to not get RNY ...heck no ..that is their choice and i was one in a few that had issues ...now i would say dont use my surgon for the RNY but it was great and i dont regret haveing it done but it sucks all i have to go thru now to try to get some weight off ..... i think deep down everyone knows what is best for them .....and when you make that choice you have to take the good with the bad....nothing is 100% great .... Ok that is my two cents !!!

the doc in Moultrie GA not sure of the doc name right now

I go on the 16th so i still have two weeks left. Wil they mail me soemthing before i go or email me something ?
