I'm feeling really good. Keep losing and gaining same 3 lbs. I'm down 18 lbs TODAY! I'm on mushies and I'm sick of it! I get very hungry, but I'm working very hard to control what I'm eating. I'm suppose to get my first fill on 10/17 and I'm looking forward to starting the journey with real food. I know we will have to learn how to eat slowly and even smaller portions and I'm ready to start living our "real life" with the band, hope that makes sense. Surprising to me, I believe my doc banded my brain more than my stomach, because things that normally tempt me into oblivion just really have no affect on me at all. It's just been a little over three weeks and I hope that mental banding continues. Good luck ladies and keep me posted on how you're doing.

I am from the Warner Robins area. Banded 9/13 with the Lap-Band AP. 1st fill tomorrow. My port is also in chest /under left arm area. Loving it. Doing well. Definitely not as hungry. Agree with some on this thread that it's curbing my appetite!

Thanks Fee139 ! Please do tell. :-) my first appointment isn't until 11/1/13. I've done the seminar where all 3 procedures were introduced, but I'm only interested in the band.

I have not. I had the hernia repair at the same time so the DC instructions said to limit vigorous exercise for 4-6 weeks. I have done a ton of walking. 6 flags this past weekend and GA game a few weeks ago as well as a couple Braves games. So definitely being active but haven't gotten a routine. That is something I am looking forward to asking him tomorrow during my fill appt. Everything I see online post hernia repair says wait about 4-6 weeks.
