First Post-Op Visit

[ThomasLeroy 21]

I was banded on July 3rd and today I had my first post-op visit. Although I have a slight infection, which I am taking anti-biotics for. I stepped on the scales and I am down 51Lbs!!!

I almost fainted when I saw the scale stop a lot lower than I had expected. But I am a real big guy and have a bunch of weight to lose. Say so long to the 600s.

I am so happy I could just burst. I still feel a bit weepy over it.

Awesome! Keep up the great work.

Thanks all, I am still in shock over losing that much, I've never lost more than 20 lbs. on any diet....ever.

Plus, it might help that since the band I have like zero appetite, its weird.

That is amazing! I was banded July 5th & am down about 17 lbs!

it is awesome, post band...when you figure out that all those 'cravings' aren't necessarily an issue, as your appetite is pretty limited...it's great
