Banded 8/11/08

[whippoorwillow 1]

Hi folks

I was banded 8/11 in central Virginia.

Everything has gone great. Couldn't have been better.

I am away from home for 6 more weeks, and cannot have a fill until I return home.

Loss is s-l-o-w.

I need a mentor to help me through this phase and beyond.

If anyone is willing to step up, I'd LOVE to hear from you!

Thanks

:tongue_smilie:I was also banded in August...the 13th to be exact. I live in New Mexico and flew to Dallas to be banded. I would love to have some support from someone who is really at the same point as me. My process has been slow as well...at least for my taste. I am currently having difficulties in finding a fill Dr in my area. At this point I have to fly back to Dallas each visit...not liking that so much!

Where do you live? Do you have any kids? How are you ultimitaly feeling?

Look forward to hearing from you soon.

Life is looking UP...while (hopefully) the scale is going DOWN!

Wow. You have lost a lot of weight! Congratulations!

I am temporarily in Hawaii (work here in the fall and sometimes winter), but I"m from central Virginia. Will be returning there in November and then I will get my first fill.

One kid, chronically ill an disabled. Guess why I eat too much?

I feel great except that I am constantly aware of my port and it hurts sometimes. I'm not hungry at all, though I get nighttime cravings, most often satisfied with a chocolate Protein Shake. Eating well has become so easy I don't even think about it.

That being said, I still feel embarrassed about my size and appearance and am well past ready to look different. Such a small loss over such a long time is frustrating, even though i have a reason.

I'd love to chat with you more about all this! I don't have a lap band buddy!
