6 weeks check up..making good progress!!!!

[Jammin & Losin 1]

Hey everyone,

I just wanted to check in and let everyone know how I'm doing. I'm starting my 6th week post op. I went to Dr. Yesterday and I'm down 17 pounds since I got my band.That means I'm 30 pounds down since middle of January!!! Woooohooo Thats exciting!!!!!!

I got a fill and I can tell it is different already. I 'm not quit sure the amount of the fill. I was so excited I forgot to ask what the cc's are. I guess it doesn't really matter as long as I'm losing weight.I can feel the liquids I drink going through the band kinda like a gurgle so I would think I'm pretty tight. I did liquids yesterday and Dr. said just to take it slow and easy today and to call if I had any problems.

Okay guys I finally feel like a true blue bandster. I got my band and my first fill and I'm losing weight. This is awsome!!!! Yeah for me!!!

Kuddos for you Jamie sounds like you are doing awesome And 30 lbs wow that is great.

Jamie - Sounds like you are doing just great! I hope you have the perfect fill!

Wow Jamie! You are so awesome! The gurgling down means tight. Watch it close to be sure you don't PB on something, cause swelling and the whole merry-go-round. Keep that band healthy! Good job!!!

OMG, it's hard to believe it's been six weeks already. Time passes too quickly. You go girl!

Wow, Jamie, welcome to the land of the filled!! Now just be careful and don't take that NEXT bite when you think you're feeling a little restriction. Just wait two or three minutes and make sure everything is going down. If it's not, GET UP AND WALK AWAY.

For what it's worth, I don't know how much fill I have ever had, either. My doctor's thinking is that the actual amount is irrelevant; all that matters is the amount he's gone up or down from the prior amount. It's all relative.
