Got my band this morning at 9:00 A.M. everything went great and I was on my way back home by noon. Feeling great, almost no gas or soreness. I actually went shopping with my wife afterwards LOL......

Hi all,

I have been reading all your posts and wanted to thank you all for the positivity, good ideas, etc. I was banded ths morning at 11:30 and am super sore. Had lots of pain & nausea immediately post-op, but my anesthesiologist was terrific and dosed me up with lots of goodies! So I am still sore & loving my nasty tasting liquid lortab, but no more nausea, and have been able to drink, drink, drink. I am hoping that each day will get better and better for myself and all my fellow Dec. Bandsters!!

Happy holidays!

Karen

Mom23 sorry to hear that you are not doing so good, hope it gets better. I'm glad mine went good because I only took one day off work. I was so scared that would not be enough but this is day 2 and I feel normal no pain no gas. So back to work for me tomorrow. Good luck with you band.

Congrats, I am right there with you, about 45lbs. Been kind of slowing down over the last couple weeks though. I still feel like it was a great choice.

Today is my 4 month Bandiversary and I am thrilled!!! The scales sometimes is a b*tch to me lol but when I step back and look at the whole picture I am extremely happy. My BMI when I started this journey was 46.1 and today its 37.6. I am 2 lbs away from a 50lbs weight loss. I am hoping I have finally arrive at "green". Here is some pics I took. I am actually lighter now than the pic but still I couldn't be happier

Hey peeps!

I haven't been around much because I've been busy being active! WOOHOO!

I have lost 50lbs since banding. I completed my first 5K in 40 minutes 39 seconds. I'm so loving life!

How's everyone else 4 months later?

[bluetigereyes 95]

I was banded 12/22, and I WISH that I could say I'm doing as good as you guys! I have only lost 8lbs since surgery. I just had my 3rf fill 2 weeks ago, I can feel restriction, I'm doing great on my eating, but the weight just wont come off. Its disappointing, but I guess I'm going to end up being one of the 'slow losers' out here with the band. I was sure hoping to see at least 30 lbs by now, but I guess that wasnt meant to be

[MellioM 116]

Have you started adding regular exercise? I only ask because I work out at least 5 days a week and that's the ONLY way I got here. I just know I wouldn't be seeing anything close to 50lbs if I weren't exercising as well.

Here is my picture. Everyone is doing great.

Hi guys just posting an update. I was banded 12-20-11 and am down over 50 lbs. Keep the updates coming I like seeing how everyone is doing.

Hey, I am 4 months + post op and down 30 pounds. Over the last few weeks its been a little slow. I have heard once you surpass 1/2 of your body fat it's a little more difficult to loose. But I have done it with very little to no exericise. Going in for another fill this Thursday!!
