GetMyGrooveBack 21 Posted June 9, 2013 I'm in Phx too.. Banded on 5/24... Where did u have it done? How is it going so far? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vcovarrubias 1 Posted June 9, 2013 Hi Getmygroveback, I went through True Results in Scottsdale. I was banded May 16th. It was hard the first week, but after that I started to feel better. I can eat a lot more, I haven't had my first fill yet. Im scheduled to go in on the 20th. Im 3 weeks into it and lost 14 pounds so far. That's because my body went cold turkey, lol.... I live around I17 and Northern. Got a membership at You Fit on 35th and Bethany Home Rd. Dobt know where you live, but if your close we can work out together.

GetMyGrooveBack 21 Posted June 10, 2013 Hey... Who did the surgery? That is where I went as well. Doc Stevenson for me... I already belong to a gym, but we will definitely have to keep in touch along this journey. I go that week too for my first fill, you will have to let me know how it goes... Maybe once the weather cools down a bit (lol) we can meet up and workout on weekends other than the gym. Maybe hike, or walk outside, or who knows what else is offered around here...

vcovarrubias 1 Posted June 12, 2013 How cool.... Dr. Nirmul performed the procedure. He was great. As for working out, I'm open anytime. You just let me know with time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My name is Staci [/quote'] Hi Staci, I am being banded this Thursday (6/20). I had my scope today and my preop visit with Dr. Nirmul tomorrow. My hand is killing me from the IV today. I need to get more fluids in before Thursday as I am a bit dehydrated. Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

deleteme 176 Posted June 22, 2013 I get to shower today!! It's the little things right? Haha. I gained 6 lbs from fluids on surgery day and I am finally back down to where I was the morning of surgery. I am going to take some photos today to track progress as I forgot Thursday. I used a heating pad yesterday and it really seemed to help with the gas. Thankfully!! Sent from my iPad using LapBandTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
