Hello everyone, Happy to find this forum! Banded 11/20/06, just before TG! Rough but made it thru. Very happy with results thus far.

The Monkies?

Thanks Fabuless, I know what you mean, plateauing, after my MD appt and excitement of losing 19#, I started to plateau , or so I thought, but woke up this morning to another exciting 2# loss. As long as I see progress, I know I can do this. I haven't started exercising yet, hope to start next week, and the lbs will probably start coming off faster. My MD stated that might happen, the plateauing, but to be patience and stick with it. So I encourage anyone who reaches a plateau to not give up. Fabuless, you were banded in Australia, do you also live there? I hope to visit there one day with my son, it appears to be a beautiful country.

Hi everyone, I too was recently banded, Monday before Thanksgiving, rough week but made it thru. I've lost 19lbs thus far. Planned first fill in January. My question- how does one create a ticker tape count down on wt lost attached at the end of your emails? I can't figure it out. Please help, I would love to watch my countdown success. Thanks and good luck to all.

Hi everyone, Just banded before TG, doing great. Hope to connect with others.:nervous

I just came back from my first appointment post surgery, 10days, still alittle sore at port site and still get tired by end of activity. Lost total 19 pounds since pre-liquid/preop period. Excited. Met a mother/daughter pair of lapbanders in office, they looked great and almost at their goal. I can't imagine myself that slim, but hope to view it one day.
