ldwd7791 0 Posted October 20, 2012 Nadine, I couldn't wait to see how you handled your surgery. I wanted to skip ahead and see but all the posts were interesting. I am glad you did well. I had a band with plication on 10/9/12. I didn't think they would release me from the hospital because I couldn't drink what they suggested I should. I also had a hiatal huernia repair. Once I was home it was great! I was more comfortable and was able to drink most of what they suggested and in the first 5 days lost 8 lbs. My dr puts us on stages of diets and I am getting ready for stage 3 on tuesday. I have an appt with him on Thursday and I cannot "weight" to see the numbers! I was talking to my son this morning and we both realized my ankles are thinner! I will enjoy following your journey. Best of luck to you! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes it was way better than I thought it would be. Don't get me wrong I'm sore as heck. But it's all worth it in the end. Glad to see your doing good.

Msdropinoff 43 Posted October 20, 2012 Yes I had my 1st fill on Oct 9th...I have 5cc in my band....I was nervous because I didn't know what to expect but it was a peice of cake... Good to hear...keep me posted. Oh how is it to eat after a fill? Was it easy or hard for you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Msdropinoff 43 Posted December 16, 2012 Hello Nadine..it's been awhile since we spoke...just checking to see how things are going since you got banded... I'm doing pretty good. I only have 2.5cc in my band. I was really scared at first to get filled. Now I don't have any restrictions. I lost 27 pounds so far. How are you doing?
