kimberly 0 Posted February 7, 2005 Hi, I have enjoyed seeing your posts, Today is my one month anniversary!! So far so good, only one small set back with a port infection. All is well now. My pre-op weight 297lbs. Four weeks post-op 275lbs. I have just started eating soft foods this week. I am starting to feel a little more hungry these days, scheduled for my first fill on March 7.

kimberly 0 Posted February 7, 2005 Thanks Everyone, I am feeling great! Yes I did see Delarla's post and it is very scary. I was lucky to have caught the infection early, My Dr. put me in for IV Antibiotics right away, that really helped. It is a very painful thing. I am guarding it with my life. So far I am loving my band, Everyone I have talked with has been so kind and helpful. I don't personally know anyone else aside from my hospital roomie, with a band. So I have really looked forward to seeing your posts, I have learned a lot. Thanks Again Kimberly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
