Hey everyone. Just wanted to say i was banded 4-4-08 and im down 36 pounds. I had to get an unfill today though because i wasnt keeping anything down and couldnt even drink Water. I will go back on the 6th and i will see if im ready to get another fill. I now have 3 cc in a 10cc band. So far so good! ( Well except for the past 3 days...LOL and they sucked)!!!

Hello All,

I was banded on Apr 23rd. After going thru a couple of weeks of not losing anything, I started up again and have now lost 31 lbs total. I get my first fill on May 30th, WOO HOO.

Good luck to all, we can all do this.

Love

Yvonne

Hi guys, this is formerly "Countingthedays" I changed my login name to just my first name since I am no longer counting down the days till surgery. My surgery was done 4/17 & I have lost almost 30lbs since then. I have gone down 2 bra sizes, from a 22/24 pant size to an 18/20 (almost 16's a little snug but almost there!!) & from a 3X shirt to just an XL, I can wear my moms shirts & my sons!! My biggest victory though is my diabetes meds. I was on 4 glyburide a day & now I am down to only half a pill a day at bedtime. 2 more weeks & I go back to the endocrinologist & hopefully I will be able to stop the diabetes meds all together!!

My weight loss has pretty much stopped this last week or so since starting solids, but I go for my first fill in 2 days. I am so psyched about this whole process!!

I haven't checked the April threads in quite awhile...oops!! Anyway, on the 23rd(my one month mark) I was down 17lbs. My first fill ws yesterday, 4cc in a 9cc Realize band. I am feeling great and was surprised and amazed at how easy and painless the fill was. I am working with a personal trainer at the gym and feeling very motivated. Good job everyone!!

Hi all!

i hit my one month on the 29th. I've been feeling great the last 2 weeks and I've lost a total of 15 lbs, although I have been at the same weight for the past 10-12 days. i'm hoping that my plateau will end soon, i've been experimenting with different foods to see what I can tolerate. I had a problem at 2 1/2 weeks with a piece of "stuck" food, something I never want to go through again, and it has made me very cautious eating anything that might swell up in my little stomach.

my NSV of the month: i've lost most of my "butt shelf"!!
