Ihad my band put on 8/18 and still from time to time have that awful neck pain...sometimes even before I eat..I have asked my surgeon and he does not seem to know what I am talking about lol:eek:

I went for 2 weeks and lost nothing too...but I keep telling myself look where I have come from. It took a lot of years to get here and this is not magic..keep plugging away!!!

I got my first fill last Thursday - today I could tell that feeling of being full and not wanting anything else...25 pounds in 40 days

I say NO FAILURES - just challenges. Just think of the days when we wolfed cake, cookies and ice cream!!! I was banded on 8/18 and prior to that did the 2 week liver shrinking diet. It is a whole new world and every day is a challenge. I am down 23 lbs....31 since March. Even if I slip and eat something I should not - it is not the garbage I was packing in before - so in the long run it will work out. My surgeon told me to toss the scales for awhile and pay attention to how I feel.....

I was banded on August 18th...after my "liver shrinking" diet and 2 weeks post op had lost 23 lbs. Since then I have gained three - went to docs today and he told me to toss the scales - as my clothes are getting loser and my belly smaller...doesn't make sense huh???

I am 3 weeks since surgery and I am also at a loss, one minute okay eating the next burping and in pain. Digestion is very bad - they put me back on Reglan and we will see. I do not really get hunger pains but can tell it is time to eat - will be glad when this stage is over!!!

I had my surgery 8/18 and have slept very little, but am able to function well. It needs to be sugar free for weight loss.

The first week was tough...actually on day 3 and 4 fatigue was the least. I was very sick to my stomach and the whole thing. But boy oh boy come day 7, 8 and 9 it got so much better. I should say I had other surgical procedures in the tummy...but look out good days are coming!!!
