[Trisaddi 21]

I'm in Greenbrier AR. Where are you? I was banded sept 19 2012 at Baptist health

[waterchick 35]

I was banded in Feb at baptist. I live in Maumelle. How's it going so far?

[Trisaddi 21]

I'm doing good, I get my 1st fill oct 18. Right now I am eating cottage cheese and Soup and sometimes pretzels as a splurge. I'm able to eat like a cup at a time. How drastic of a change will it be after the 1st fill? I have lost 22 lbs. do you work or have kids?

Hey I was banded Sept 21 at Baptist. Although we live in Springfield we would love to be back in Little Rock. Down 14pounds.

[Trisaddi 21]

We live off of Springfield rd, near Wooster ar. We are pretty close. Do you have kids?

[tklee30 6]

Ours is actually Springfield Missouri, I do have kids a son 22 and a daughter 4. Who is your doctor?

[Trisaddi 21]

Oh that Springfield. I moved here from Cali a year ago so I don't know where everything is. My dr is Gibbs

I go for my first feel October 30th and can't wait. Sounds like your doing really good.

The first fill is wonderful after going through bandster hell.

[Trisaddi 21]

The first fill is wonderful after going through bandster hell.

What do you mean bandster hell?

[waterchick 35]

It's the time period between being banded and your first fill. It's when you are operating on sheer willpower.

[Trisaddi 21]

Ohhh! Today has been my hardest day. But still not too bad, 2 bites if ice cream, I'm just eating the normal good stuff but every hour or so. Tomorrow is a new day.

[waterchick 35]

Ya right now you have to focus on healing.

I'm in Little Rock, getting banded Oct 19 in Mexico. Really excited and really nervous. I have never had surgery before. Nice to meet y'all!
