Hi Theresa, I am in your neck of the woods, League City - far south but close none the less..I was banded on Sept. 30th. Where did you have your surgery? I was doing great and then stalled for a week or so after I started eating regular food but getting better now. Thankfully my first fill is this Thursday, I am ready!!:)

Hi Laura, I actually grew up in LaPorte. Know League city very well. I moved to Katy a year and half ago. I had my surgery at Park Plaza Hospital in Houston. I am alittle stalled right now, I need to start exercising!! Trying to get over a chest cold to beable to start. I am suppose to go back around Nov 15th. I still feel like I could eat anything. I am trying not to be bad and stick to healthier choices. Its all a mental game for me. I started a journal yesterday....going to keep everything in it. calorie and Protein count too.

So today is friday....did you get your fill? How are feeling?

Hi Banded Theresa! Your post just made me think of a question I haven't considered yet...having a cold so soon after surgery, does it hurt to cough? Do you have to be careful not to literally split a gut?

LOL...the day before yesterday was the worst of my cold, I had those really deep chest coughs. Where it was non preductive and just real dry. Those did make me very sore. my abdomin area and my back. I just am taking Vicks 44 during the day and nitequil at night. 4 days now and I am feeling alot better and not sore anymore. Im assuming I didnt hurt anything in there lol

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
