shakey88 37 Posted July 30, 2011 scott and shakey how are you doing so far?? Welcome to band land I am doing well so far. I went to the surgeon on Wednesday and it was supposed to be for a fill, but he thinks I am doing well, so no fill for me yet! I will be glad when I get back to work so I can put myself on a schedule. I just started some resistance training today, so hopefully I can keep up with that. How are you doing with it? -Natalie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shakey88 37 Posted July 30, 2011 I am from the Moorestown area, I was banded back in May 2010. How is everyone doing so far? I feel I am doing well. 30 pounds in 40 days, so I can't complain! I am way south Jersey, like exit 1! =) How about you? Your ticker shows that you have been doing well with losing the weight! Congrats! =) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scott 72511 0 Posted July 30, 2011 I am doin alright I guess...Still a bit sore arund the port area, but healing up very well. Dr. Adam Goldstein was my surgeon at voorhees. And I recommend him to anyone! Great doctor, he is great at what he does, period! I am in cumberland county new jersey do I am not far at all from exit 1...lol Matter of fact I migh head that way this weekend to walk the boards. I was lucky to have lost about 55 lbs by seeing a nutritionist 6 months prior to surgery. Since surgery on monday I think I have lost a couple lbs. Good luck to everyone and stay in touch!

jen36 1 Posted July 30, 2011 Yes I have been doing well, I have about 9 more lbs to go to be at goal weight but seem to be a a plateau right now but I am not complaining am so happy to have accomplished what I have so far. So it seems that all you guys are newly banded, Wow shakey88 40lbs in 30 days that is awesome. I am lucky to see 1lb come off now in months but hey what can you do. I don't always eat the best but I do exercise pretty good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
shakey88 37 Posted July 31, 2011 Thanks...I am actually surprised myself beings I have no Fluid in my band at all. I think it is just the change in my eating that has gotten me this far without fluid. My next appt isnt for another 3 weeks, so maybe I will get fluid then if I stop losing! Congrats on your weightloss!!! That's awesome! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
