Any Future Banders In Reno Area?

[You'reGonnaHearMeRoar 25]

I have seven more lbs to lose before I can have LB surgery. Getting frustrated; ( I need a support team/walking buddy/buddies.

I'm from Reno, miss it tons.

[You'reGonnaHearMeRoar 25]

Reno is getting so big now;) So happy with the cleanup progress downtown. It's attracting lot's of new businesses. Still no Torrid; ( Have you've been banded yet? If so was it in Reno?

[Ready2Melt 14]

I was banded 9/13 but in Colorado.

[You'reGonnaHearMeRoar 25]

Did you have any complications or regrets?

[Ready2Melt 14]

No problems yet. I've only had a couple fills and not getting the restriction I'm looking for but, I'm told that's normal. I started with a low BMI of 33. I've lost a total of 19 pounds including the 3 day pre op. So far I'm happy I made this choice. Do you know when your. Surgery might be?

[You'reGonnaHearMeRoar 25]

Hopefully next month or Jan. My Ins requires a 12 week weight loss program & I'm almost finished; ) They also require a certain % of weight loss. As of today I have 5lbs to go. Hopefully I will have it off by next week. Its nice to hear the band is working for you. Are you experiencing any hunger? Was your 1st fill painful?

[Ready2Melt 14]

The fills are not painful at all. I'm still hungry, no real restriction yet. Everybody has told me it takes at least 3 to feel it. My next one is 12/11.

[Ready2Melt 14]

Oh, and good luck with that 5 pounds!

[You'reGonnaHearMeRoar 25]

Hopefully you will start feeling restriction soon. That's another thing I'm kind of worried about. I just bought a four way band from everlast. Hopefully those 5lbs will come off quickly. Keep me posted on your fill.
