My surgery was 12/3/09 I was 264, and today I am at 224.

40 lbs !! happy but alot of pain with the fills had to fills first time was 2cc, and now 1cc, and had 3 in so 6cc in a 10cc band.

Dont fill full, and no problems with any foods yet.

But I dont want to go through the pain any more with my fills, he does numb but doesn't help when you get stuck 9-10 times to get the port.

Don't know what to do. Mary :redface:

I was banded Dec 3rd and have lost 21 pounds. I feel like I should have lost more by now. I had my second fill one wk ago and have little restriction. Just wondering how everyone banded in December are doing. Would love to hear from you.

Hi I was banded in Mexico on Decc. 2 and have lost 22 lbs. so far. I had my first fill on Jan. 19 of 2CC in an 11CC band. I feel some restriction and have gotten stuck a few times but that was my own fault for not chewing. I would also like to see more of a weight loss and I am hoping that after my next fill I will hit the sweet spot. I am still very optimistic and I make better food choices [most of the time] due to being banded and trying to help the band do its job. I really do enjoy and feel inspired by this forum which I like to call Band of Brothers This includes you ladies of course. Tell me more about this Easter Challenge.:frown:

I was banded 12/16/09 and have lost 23 pounds so far. I am starting my exercise program today, have not done any yet. So far so good, yes periods screwed up but that is normal after surgery. Need to find more things to eat..eating the same thing over and over. Live alone so do not like to cook for one but need some ideas...

Click directly on the ticker. You should have been required to save a Pin #. It should be four digits. A new window will open and ask for the pin. Once you enter the pin you can change information, and save. I usually go to my signature and resave it there too. Don't know if that's necessary but it works for me. Best wishes and hope this helps!

Thanks! I missed this being posted, lol.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
