Jalilsauntie 0 Posted March 30, 2008 I went to my first post-op doctors appointment (I was banded on 3/18/2008). I lost 20 lbs. I feel pretty good and Doctor Wood says my wounds are healing nicely. The largest incision where the port is located is still pretty sore but he says that is normal. I'm a little bummed because he says my first fill will be in 6 weeks. He did say, however, that my band is restricted so I will still lose weight. Not being able to eat has been a challenge (in fact I cried on Easter) but I just take it day by day. I plan to attend a support group at my Docs office. I think I need a place to discuss "emotional eating" with people who are going thru the same thing I am.

Desdemona 48 Posted March 30, 2008 Hi Jalilsaunite-- Congrats on the 20lbs. I was banded on 3/19 and will be going to see my surgeon for the first post-op on Tues. I'm pretty sure I've lost on all these Clear Liquids I'm drinking but won't know until I get there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bibo07 0 Posted March 30, 2008 Hi, i was banded on March 6, 2008 (I don't think I will forget that day) and I have lost a total of 20 pounds. I felt horrible right afterwards with the pain where the incision was and still not 100% recovered but i am over feeling sorry for myself and feeling optimistic. My first fill is on the 6th of april...so i am a little scared. Good luck to all! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
