AztecPrincess 0 Posted July 13, 2006 Hello to all, I have visted this site a few times never posted before just sort of lurked, I was banded Jan 9, 06 in puerto vallarta by Dr.Armando Joya. I had my first fill May 15 by Dr. Mathew St. Laurent in Houston,Texas. While I had an excellent experience with Dr. Joya when I came to get my fill I found out he had put the larger band usually reserved for men, making it harder for me to feel restriction and more difficult to adjust. Dr. St. Laurent has been great he is working with me and is very supportive. I'm at 4.5cc's My start weight was 245 I'm down to 200. I should have lost more by now but I must admit I was majorly slacking thankfully I am back on track now. :speechles :confused: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
juliegeraci 7 Posted July 13, 2006 Hola, If you are down from 245 to 200 right after surgery that is very fast weight loss. Was that with your preop diet? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AztecPrincess 0 Posted July 13, 2006 No, I actually really didn't do any preop diet just tried to eat less a cpl of days before surgery and nothing 12 hrs before. It's been 6 months since my surgery Jan. 9th so it's actually not that fast. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
