I was banded on 5/17. I lost 7 lbs the week after surgery, and then the scale stopped moving. It was very discouraging to me to not see the scale move for almost 6 weeks. Although I certainly got discouraged at times, I kept doing what I needed to do. Last Tuesday I had my first fill. My doctor put 5 ccs in my Realize band. WOW! I can't believe the difference in my life since that fill. I definitely know the band is there now. The scale has started moving over the past week, too! I am almost to the 50 lb mark, and I am wearing clothes that I haven't worn in 4 years. I feel stronger each day, and I am so excited to have made this decision for my health.

I am feeling restriction and listening to the signals my body is sending me to stop eating. Eating is a much more thought out part of my day, and I am learning the ropes a little more each and every day.

I just wanted to share my happy news with people that I know will get it.

Thanks to everyone for sharing your ups and downs on this journey.
