[Milliekay193 21]

Got my band 12/4. 1st follow up 12/10. 1st Fill 12/26. So far, so good! I'm feeling great. Started at 265. Surgery day 257. Follow up 247. First fill 248. Wowwwwww only 1 pound after a holiday! I'm loving this. No pain, no pb; just learning to listen to my band.

I'm a Dec bandster as well. Sounds like you're really off to a great start.

For me: 12/16 was surgery date. 12/30 was 1st follow up and I lost 8 lbs! I don't receive my first fill till 6 weeks out 1/27 .

I was banded on 12/27 I don't have my first follow up til 1/14. My daughters had doctor appointments today so I decided to weigh myself and I'm done about 9 lbs. My heaviest weight was 284 surgery day I was 255 and today I'm 246. I'm a little disappointed I thought I would lose more especially after being in the hospital for 4 days with little to drink. But I guess just sitting or laying around isn't going to do much.

Congrats on the weight loss Millie!

Very good!

I was banded 12/19/13, I've lost 20 lbs so far just on the pre-op and post-op diet; in addition, I am walking 1 mile a day. Post-op visit with my surgeon today 1/7/14 and first-fill will be 1/17/14. So far so good, just tired of mushie foods.

Good luck to all! Happy 2014.

Banded 12/16. Down 21 lbs. first fill is 1/13. Tonight I ate quiche. Crust free. I thought I would be ok bc it's egg. It sat on my stomach like a brick. Tonight was the first time I have had an issues with something I ate. Actually had mild stomach pain. Never eating that again.
