Barkeep 1 Posted September 29, 2007 Hello, I am due to be banded on oct. 12 2007. My doctor is Kenneth Hollis out of houston texas. I was cruising the net trying to find out more information on the procedure and I found this forum. I am quite impressed so far! As I am going through last minute reservations this is just what I needed to quell some of my fears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fluffyinks 0 Posted September 29, 2007 Hi! I will be banded on the 15th. Good luck to you. From what I have read, it seems that a lot of us have some sort of reservations. Mine is just that I am sure I will miss food!! LOL We are starting a new faze of our lives. Good luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Anexa 0 Posted September 30, 2007 Hello everyone, I was looking to join a support group, but the ones in my area weren't doing much, so I thought I'd search on the web and I found this site! (yay). So far I've lost about 20 lbs, but I've stopped losing now because I need to go have my first fill. That is scheduled for Oct. 17th. Looking forward to it!

Anexa keep us up to date with how you are going after your first fill. Exciting times ahead for all!!! :whoo: Well so far, it's been well worth it. I've had a few issues, mainly pain at the port sight a week after surgery, but I'm happy to announce that's all but gone now. The BIG issue now is the bathroom issue. (as in, I can't be more than 20 feet from one at any given time.) I'm not sure what's going on, but if anyone has any ideas or similar experiences please let me know! Other than that, I'm super happy to be banded and am looking forward to my fill. I'll keep you guys posted. Good luck on your surgery! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
