Hi everyone!

Doing great here! Had surgery last Thursday and I am down 10.5 so far!

It is wonderful to see all of us doing so well!

Ok, I guess I'll play secretary. Post your day of surgery, surgeon's name & location (if you want), and any weight loss so far & I'll add you to the list. I've seen it done for other months, can't let 'em show us up! :paranoid

As you have more weight lost, post it & I'll update. And when you have fills, if you want to share that, please feel free. That way we can track how others on the February timeline are doing. :Banane40:

If you'd prefer to see a spread sheet (yeah, I've got too much time on my hands, lol): http://mikeycunningham.com/lbt/FebGroup.xls

Hey Jessi we were banded on the same day. Before I left the hospital they said I could go to stage 3 which is basically all liquids with no lumps. I don't get to the mushies stage until after my post op which is on 3/1. Good luck with your band

So that makes 16 pounds all together...since I started my pre-op. My surgery is Monday with Dr Morton in Nashville, TN. As anyone else scared as hell??? Cause I sure am!

Hi Everyone-

Wow, we are all doing great. I am down 10 pounds from last week and don't even have surgery until Tuesday. The liquid diet is hard but I'm doing it- that in itself is a miracle.

Good luck with everyone as they have their surgeries and recover.

Hi everyone!

I'm new here and was banded on 2/13/2006 with Dr. Wetherille.

This was my second banding (the first was removed after a week due to slippage) and I'm cautiously optimistic that all will work out well this time.

Down 4 pounds so far...

244/240/150-145

[kaobspm2 0]

Hi all.

Hope everyone is doing well. I just have a few more days to go until my surgery on the 21st. Still on the liquids and I am down 8lbs.

Good Luck everyone!

Hiya Feb Bandsters!!

Sorry I went AWOL this week. Mikey got his band successfully placed on Monday & I had mine on Wed. I'm finally back in action.

I'm ashamed to say that HE was the better patient! **blush** I moan & groan about every ache & pain. He sailed through with little to no problems & keeps reminding me that I'm 2 days behind & saying that he was as whiney as I was on THIS day (yeah right, lol, I was there!) He's a sweet heart for sure.

Oh, I was TERRIFIED right before the surgery... during pre-op. The "stark raving mad" kind of terrified. I ended up deep-breathing with Mikey's assistance. I went to sleep before they wheeled me down the hall, lol, helped tons!

Hang in there when you're scared, picture your happy place with all of us hugging you & sending you happy thoughts! The pain is really not THAT bad, and the drugs are GREAT!!

Anyway, I'm finally catching up & hopefully got everyone's everything updated.

If I missed you, let me know! It's great to see everyone doing so well!

Hi Janet! You guys are brave getting banded within 2 days of each other. I depended heavily on my dh to take care of me after surgery; I can't imagine if he had been recovering from something, too!

I'm happily phasing into mushy foods over the next few days, learning to take teeny bites and chew a lot more. And I'm happily down 19.2 lbs. :-)

Stay well -- happy recovery!

Hi Janet and everyone...I feel like I'm pretty much back among the living. After reading about all the easy recovery's I assumed that it would also be easy for me. I was banded on Wed. the 15th and have been in lots of pain since. Today is a little better however. My scales show that I'm down about 4 lbs - not much, but good for me I think. I'm going to just concentrate on my recovery for now and worry about losing weight after I get my first fill.

Good Luck to everyone.
