Hey Hannah...I won't get my date until everything is finished on April 1 (Insurance is fast-3 days). Surgeon's office said it will probably be by the 20th. Tax day for you...now you have something to celebrate every tax day...cool! -BG

How's it going for you? Do you have a date for your first fill? I haven't lost much (if any) in the last 2 weeks since eating again (not liquids). But they say this is normal, so I am not freaking out yet. I haven't been exercising either, because of the torn stitch, but all in good time! Hope you are doing well!

YES i went through that. I would wince if I moved even just a little. I am telling you, go to a medical supply store and spend $40 on a stomach support band. It will help you 100%. I even had to sleep in it. I am almost three weeks post op and am still taking some Tylenol because the port still hurts. It would feel like it was ripping out my insides!

Hi Mol, Just back from vacation in Florida and returned toi cold and dreary weather but next weeksw forcast is looking great. Gained about 3 lbs from eating so good and back on track tomorrow. Have to wait abvout 6 weeksw for another fill to make ure my insurance is going to pay. Needed one a month ago but just have to wait and see. My dr charges $380.00 and then the facility fee is $450.00 per fill. Seems like a rip off to me but that is the way things work in th U.S. with insurance companies and DR.'s and such. My insurance paid for the surgery and I assumed thry were going to pay for the fill also. Just have to wait and see. I have not lost any weight for 3 months other than a few lbs I have played with going up and then down. I am starting to wonder if this was the right thing for me to do? JenhaY

Hey doodlebug11, how are you? I am 9 days out from having my bad placed. The pre Op diet is not fun but I am making it through fine. Since my surgeon has me on a strict liquid diet, I have learned creative ways with little. I added some spicy V8 to my broth and called it dinner. Jello has become my lunch and I sip water tainted with the liquid Protein bullets all day long. I feel good now but the first week was tough. Looking forward the banding on March 25th- Ligheterload

Hi Malissa, i hope ur feeling better then me, lol. I really feel like it was quite painful and the wind pain really hurts. Today is day 3 for me and it is getting a little better. It is also the first day i have managed to drink more then 200ml in a day. I think i managed to drink 550ml which included some sustagen (nutritional milk drink), a little watery pumpkin soup and some pineapple juice. How are you doing? and how much are you able to drink?

I go for my consultation on Monday and start pre-op diet on Wednesday next week. As far as I know I will have protien shakes, yogurt, and one WW meal for the 2 weeks.
I am 56 yr. old and from Illinois. I don't know if I told you that before. I think I will have 80-100 pounds to lose. How about you?

Hi read your post and wanted to say hey and see how you were doing, I was banded 3/2/09 so I am a newbie myself. Hope everything is going good for you. God Bless...Jess

I wish these things were so limited in space....maybe we need to use the private message option, there is no limit! Try not to worry about the fill. I know every doctor does it somewhat differently, but I am sure he will use a local to anesthetize the skin area. Just don't watch while it is happening and you should be okay! So you are watching videos on youtube on fills?! Who knew! ha ha! Since taking it easy and resting, my port is much better. I can feel mine too, but not as much as I thought. They used a low profile port on me, so maybe that's why. I hope you have a great week and can't wait to hear more about how you are doing!!
Take care,
Shelley

Hi!
I was banded on 2/19 and the first week and a half after the surgery I lost around 10 pounds, but after all the swelling was gone I'm back to almost the way I was before and I'm getting hungry like crazy. Sometimes I eat things I know I should not eat and I'm not losing any weight, I'm scheduled for my first fill in about a month from now. Will it change after the fill? Will I lose weight? I'm very discouraged right now.

Hello Teresa - Its been one week since your surgery. How are you feeling? How is the liquid diet going for you? Are you in any pain?
-
Well I've lost a total of 21lbs, well it fluctuates between 17-21 lbs. I've been like that for the last two weeks. I go for my first fill on monday. I can't wait. And after we get our taxes back my DH is buying me an elliptical. How are the fills? Do they hurt?
