Hi everyone! I have learned SOOOO much by lurking here the past few weeks. I don't think I could have gone through with my surgery (April 8) without all the knowledge I've gained here.

THANK YOU!!!

Now...where do I get one of those ticker things? I'm ready to get this band hoppin!

Congrats Michelle!

Tickerfactory.com is where you go to make your ticker. How much have you lost pre and post?

How do I get my ticker to show? I made it, but I'm posting it wrong...

I lost 12 lbs on the pre-op diet and I haven't weighed since then. Hopefully more since I don't have my full appetite back yet. I'm not really hungry very often and I wish it would stay this way!!! My scales at home aren't very reliable.

I hope to lose about 110 lbs. I know I have a long road ahead! :rolleyes2:

Hello everyone. I was banded April 18th by Dr. M. Stephan in Mesquite TX. My goal is to loose 85 and maintain at a lovely 140. The great news is my husband is doing this with me and he will be banded May 9th. The whole experience is very unique as I am full on just liquids and often have to remember to drink at meal times.

My one question is the burping...it seems to be more difficult than before banding...is this normal? Nothing comes up so it is not PB or vomiting, just air trying to come up.

I look forward to the responses. Thank you!
