Hi - I was banded 3/22/07. I have lost 15lbs. My first fill will be this Thursday 4/26/07. I am a cash pay and am very motivated and excited to take this journey! Thank you already for all the information I have found.

Welcome Riggsie! I was a self pay also. Wow. I wish I would have gotten my first fill that quick. My first fill is the 27th and I was banded on 3/12/07. Good Luck & let me know how it goes!

:girl_hug: <P>Thank you for your replies...I am very excited for my 1st fill and it seem like forever since surgery. I was walking a least a mile the day after surgery and have felt great. The first to weeks were great...then day by day I got alittle more hungry ...now I feel like I could it anything like before surgery. I havent ...but I think I could. I am up to 3 miles aleast 5 days a week and have lost 13lbs. But the last to weeks..I think it was on total will power...no restriction at all. So I hope my fill will help. I eat about 2 to 2.5 cups at dinner. Protein Shake with banana in the morning and a Protein Bar with a yogart a lunch. Dinner is protien, small salad and veggie...with maybe a little cottage cheese. How much weight have you lost since surgery...before your first fill?</P>

Riggsie, I sent you a private message. Did you receive it? I wanted to talk to you because I think you told me you got your lap band in IF also. Let me know. I sure would like to be a support and have some support close to home!!! Deanna
