texasbandster 0 Posted January 9, 2008 Calanne I would love to meet with you sometime and pick your band brain since you were banded 20 months ago. Pearland only takes a little bit to get there. My best friend lives there. I go 518 or 45 to Dixie Farm Rd or Beltway to the exit by the golf course. Depends on where I am going. We will have to plan once I get settles and can eat "food".

BandMe24 0 Posted January 17, 2008 Vinnie, It does take a few days, I was lucky and went right before my surgery, but then not again for 4 days. I am now 17 days post op and having to "maintain the bathroom" issues with extra Fiber. I can actually get that pill down. Woo hoo!!!:pray2::rolleyes2: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny_Jill 36 Posted January 24, 2008 Hi everyone! I live and Sugar Land and was banded 11/20 by Dr. Spivak. I love my band. I've had absolutely no problems and I've lost 15 pounds since surgery and 5 on pre-op diet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skinny_Jill 36 Posted January 25, 2008 I am great after the band. I love it. I am losing weight slow but steady. Fighting head hunger can be difficult but not as bad as before the band. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
